20. Case on the Unconstitutionality of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Promotion of Newspapers, Etc. Prescribing the Employment Requirements for an Online Newspaper reserved for online newspapers, when several legal measures already exist to prevent the harmful consequences that may arise from inaccurate reporting. In addition, there is no valid reason to protect the readers of online newspapers more strongly than readers of other media. Furthermore, it cannot be concluded that the falling quality of online newspaper articles and the ensuing harms are caused by the lack of reporters and editors working at online newspapers. In fact, such harms derive from the distribution structure of online newspapers, which depends on the search results of major web portals. Therefore, a more fundamental solution to this issue would be to formulate measures that enable online newspapers to escape from their dependence on web portals, and find an independent distribution channel. Furthermore, taking into account the rapidly changing web environment and technological development, the diversification of media and demand for new or alternative media, forcing online newspapers to employ a regular workforce consisting of a certain number of reporters and editors is not absolutely necessary for improving the credibility of online newspapers. While the Employment Provision and Verification Provisions can completely erase the chance for small online newspapers to function as press, the effect of the legislative purpose, which is to enhance the credibility of online newspapers, is questionable, meaning the balance of interests is not satisfied. Therefore, the Employment Provision and the Verification Provisions violate the rule against excessive restriction, and infringe upon the freedom of press of the complainants. As long as the Employment Provision is unconstitutional, the Addenda Provision, which applies the Employment Provision to online newspaper enterprisers already registered, requires no further examination to prove that it violates the Constitution.
