Korea Times bloggers' night (2018-12-12)

There are some well-known media outlets in this world that occasionally stumble upon Freedom Speakers International (FSI). But they usually pick themselves up and carry on as if nothing had happened. They sometimes quote or mention us after we help with a story but more likely they don't (especially NPR and the New York Times).

The most important media outlet in the world for Freedom Speakers International: The Korea Times. They occasionally write stories about our work. I have a monthly column and a regular blog there.

Here's my blog at the Korea Times, "Voices from the North."

And my monthly column.

Instead of the Korea Times stumbling across us from time to time, I get regular reminders from editors reminding me to send in my column and blog.

I know that many of the people following FSI are clicking around the internet and following many organizations and people.

I have heard that my position at the paper is safe, that I have some loyal readers. It is good to know that we have regular readers who look for FSI related articles, not just stumbling across them. It is unusual in this world for a media outlet to open its pages to an organization and columnist who are not well-known, most would regard it as advertising.

Instead, no matter how busy I am with running FSI along with co-founder Eunkoo Lee, I can expect reminders from the Korea Times about the deadline for my next column and a reminder if I haven't sent a blog post recently.

The photo is from the Korea Times bloggers' night, in 2018. When it was time to take a group photo, I confirmed with an editor that it would be okay for me to hold a TNKR brochure. They said it was fine, so of course I sat in the front row so it could be seen.

Below are more photos from that night in 2018 (yes, there have been other nights, this one happened to pop up in my FB feed).

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .
