South Korea's budding publishing experts

South Korea's budding publishing experts 2018.01 University education inside South Korea to create experts in the publishing industry peaked in the 1990s. This was reflected in how even regional universities outside the capital area created new majors for this purpose while more than 10 two-year community colleges also did the same.
