Envelope journalism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Envelope journalism (also envelopmental journalism[1], red envelope journalism[2], white envelope journalism[3], Ch'ongi[4], wartawan amplop[5]) is a colloquial term for the practice of bribing journalists for favourable media coverage.
The term seems to be most commonly used in Asia - the Philippines[6]Japan and Korea[7], Indonesia[8].
The term arose from the envelopes used to hold cash bribes, given ostensibly as tokens of appreciation for attending a press conference[9].
More recently, the term ATM journalism has arisen, to indicate the change to electronic tansfer of bribes to journalists' bank accounts[10].
