Talking about the press in America, it's pretty fascinating. Even though everything seems commercialized, there's still this sense of a boundary, kind of like they're holding onto the old journalism spirit. It's like with the U.S. army – the country is super capitalistic, yet the soldiers have this strong bond over values like patriotism
In contrast, Korea, although a latecomer to capitalism, seems to be rapidly adopting and even surpassing the U.S. in capitalistic practices, often neglecting these deeper values. It's ironic that Korea, once deeply rooted in Confucian values, is now leaning towards extreme capitalism.
When it comes to media, I've noticed that American outlets like The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and The New York Times (NYT) provide rich, in-depth content, capturing the nuances of stakeholders' perspectives and going the extra mile, which is what I look for in media. They leverage their extensive networks and resources to feature insights from reputable professionals. In Korea, this level of expert engagement is mostly found in traditional media like Chosun Ilbo's weekly editions, which, unfortunately, lags in digital innovation.
