31조 용산개발 프로젝트 정상화 산넘어 산
단군이래 최대 개발사업으로 조명 받았던 용산국제업무지구 개발사업이 목요일 법원 판결로 400억을 긴급 수혈 받아 기사회생했다. 하지만, 추가 자금 조달과 사업 계획에 대한 대주주간 이견 조율 등 풀어야 할 숙제가 적지 않아 사업 정상화까지는 넘어야 할 산이 많을 것으로 전망된다. 31조가 소요될 것으로 예상되는 용산개발사업의 자금조달 및 기획을 책임지고 있는 드림허브프로젝트금융투자회사(이하 드림허브)의 자본금은 7일 현재 5억원만 남아있어 3월 12일 만기가 돌아오는 금융권 이자 59억을 막기 위해 자금 수혈이 긴급히 필요한 상황이었다. 7일, 긴급 자금 수혈 방안을 논의하기 위해 드림허브 측이 긴급 이사회를 소집한 가운데, 드림허브 측이 국가를 상대로 낸 400억원대 소송에서 승소 판결을 받아 용산개발 프로젝트는 가까스로 부도 위기를 면했다. 하지만, 용산개발 프로젝트의 핵심인 150층 드림타워의 건설 자금 모집 방법을 놓고 1대주주 코레일과 2대 주주 ㈜ 롯데관광개발의 입장 차이

"TV 영향력 신문 뛰어넘어"
국내 최대 신문사 3곳 조선, 중앙, 동아일보의 독자들의 여론 형성에 미치는 영향력이 전체 신문시장의 절반이 넘는 것으로 나타났다. 그럼에도 불구하고 신문의 영향력은 TV에 훨씬 못 미치며 심지어는 뉴미디어인 온라인에게도 치어가는 형국이라고, 여론집중도조사위원회가 목요일 발표했다. 정부에서 여론집중도에 대해 조사, 발표한 것은 이번이 처음이다. 문화체육관광부 산하 여론집중도조사위원회가 3년에 걸쳐 조사한 바에 의하면 TV의 여론영향력 점유율은 47.2%로 인터넷 매체의 26%와 신문의 17.3%를 상회했다. 이는 사람들이 TV에서 전달하는 메시지에 가장 영향을 받는다는 뜻이다.TV의 뉴스와 보도 프로그램들은 전세대에 걸쳐 골고루 영향을 미쳤으나 신문은 중장년 그리고 온라인 매체들은 젊은층에게 특히 영향을 미치고 있었다. 신문 중에는 조, 중, 동이 합산 57.6%이 여론집중도를 기록하였다. 조선일보는 23.7%, 중앙일보는 17.9% 그리고 동아일보는 16%였다. 여론집중도가 2%를
