or Unbias?
Intro to Journalism
I just returned last night from two weeks in China and the unsettling assessment in Beijing is that North Korea's supreme leader and (amateur propagandist-in- chief) Kim Jong-Un has unwittingly backed himself and his isolated regime into a dangerous corner with potentially dire consequences to stability on the Korean peninsula in the near term.

North
Korea
Seen
Moving
Missile:
Report
North
Korea
has
moved
what
appears
to
be
a
mid-range
Musudan
missile
to
its
east
coast,
South
Korea's
Yonhap
news
agency
said
on
Thursday,
quoting
multiple
government
sources
privy
to
intelligence
from
U.S.
and
South
Korean
authorities.
It
was
not
clear
if
the
missile
was
mounted
with
a
warhead
or
whether
the
North
was
planning
to
fire
it
or
was
just
putting
it
on
display
as
a
show
of
force,
one
South
Korean
government
source
was
quoted
as
saying.
South
Korean
and
U.S.
intelligence
authorities
have
obtained
indications
the
North
has
moved
an
object
that
appears
to
be
a
mid-range
missile
to
the
east
coast,"
the
source
said.

Stepping
toward
multiculturalism
Globalization,
demographic
change
and
economic
growth
have
led
Korea
to
embrace
cultural
diversity
and
tolerance
toward
others.
But
biases
and
discrimination
against
foreigners
remain
and
Koreans
pride
for
ethnic
purity
is
deeply
entrenched.
This
10-part
series
will
offer
a
glimpse
into
the
nations
efforts
to
promote
multiculturalism
and
challenges
in
immigration
law,
education,
welfare,
public
perception,
mass
culture
and
more.

Fighting
crime
With
few
days
going
without
news
of
murder
or
other
felonies,
many
Koreans
have
begun
to
doubt
the
long-held
perception
that
they
live
in
a
relatively
safe
society.
A
recent
report
backed
up
their
doubt
with
some
alarming
comparative
statistics.
The
report
released
by
the
Korea
Development
Institute,
a
state-run
think
tank,
showed
the
countrys
homicide
rate
of
2.2
per
100,000
people
exceeded
the
OECD
average
of
2.16
per
100,000.
Korea
had
the
ninth-highest
murder
rate
among
the
29
surveyed
members
of
the
Organization
for
Economic
Cooperation
and
Development.
The
countrys
sex
and
theft
crime
rates
were
nearly
double
the
OECD
averages.
