The word is an acronym of the Chosun, Joong-ang and Dong-a Ilbo newspapers, and the grouping is seen as forming the basis of South Korea's conservative media.[6] The term was used by Hankyoreh editor Jung Yeonju (Template:Langx) as early as October 2000.[7] Korean liberals criticize Chojoongdong primarily because of their conservative-biased editorial stances and doing business in a collusive and surreptitious manner. since 2010,Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". the market share of Chosun, Joong-ang and Dong-a Ilbo is 24.3%, 21.8%, and 18.3%, respectively.[8]
