SisaIN is a progressive weekly news magazine based in South Korea, covering political and social issues. It was founded in 2007 by former journalists of Sisa Journal who resigned due to a controversy over editorial independence concerning a Samsung-related article.[ citation needed ]
The magazine's inaugural issue was published on August 29, 2007, following a labor strike and mass resignation of reporters protesting editorial interference. Notable journalists including Joo Jin-woo and Ko Jae-yeol were among the founding members.[ citation needed ]
