The Internet Newspaper Ethics Commission announced the expansion of youth life-respect content on the occasion of Suicide Prevention Week. Together with the Korea Life Respect Hope Foundation, the commission will co-host the "2026 Korea Youth Life-Respect Content Contest." Through the contest, articles and advertising content produced directly by young people will be published in university newspapers and internet newspapers, with the aim of spreading life-respect messages during Suicide Prevention Week.
The project is a participatory initiative that involves young people directly producing content on suicide prevention and life-respect values and helping spread it through actual news media. It seeks to broaden life-respect messages by publishing content created by young people in real media outlets.
The project began last July as the "2026 University Newspaper Life-Respect Journalism School." Related initiatives include a university newspaper life-respect article contest, a national college student life-respect advertising contest, and a sharing campaign for life-respect advertising content linked with internet newspapers.
The universities participating in the 2026 University Newspaper Life-Respect Article Contest are Konkuk University, Kookmin University, Duksung Women's University, and Hallym University. After receiving expert feedback in August, the participating universities completed feature articles on suicide prevention and life-respect. The finished articles are being published sequentially in each university newspaper in September.
The judging results for the "2026 National College Student Life-Respect Advertising Contest" were announced on the 9th. A total of 6 teams were selected as winners in the contest: 1 grand prize winner, 1 top prize winner, 2 excellence prize winners, and 2 honorable mention winners.
After the announcement of the judging results, follow-up campaigns were carried out to further publicize the winning works. The "Life-Respect Advertising Content Sharing Campaign" was held to spread the winning entries to the public.
38 media outlets that have signed the Internet Newspaper Ethics Commission's participation pledge applied voluntarily, and participating outlets have been posting the advertising contest winners on their own websites free of charge since the 10th during Suicide Prevention Week. These outlets are also taking part in spreading life-respect messages.
Regarding the significance of this campaign, the Internet Newspaper Ethics Commission emphasized that articles and advertisements produced by young people are being delivered to real readers. It also pointed to the fact that the works are not merely entered in a contest but are being shared through university newspapers and internet newspapers, as well as the voluntary participation of many outlets that have signed the pledge. In addition, it said it hopes youth-centered life-respect messages will spread more widely.
