Chojoongdong (), abbreviated as CJD, is a pejorative term which refers to three highly circulated conservative newspapers in South Korea. The word is an acronym of The Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo and The Dong-A Ilbo newspapers, and the grouping is seen as forming the basis of South Korea's conservative media.
The term was used by The Hankyoreh editor Jung Yeonju () in October 2000. Since 2008, some critics of CJD have claimed that there is a close relationship between CJD and the Lee Myung-bak government. Liberal counterpart of the term is Hankyungoh, standing for Hankyoreh, Kyunghyang Shinmun, and OhmyNews.
