[cnu's exes] Can A Reporter Have A Warm Heart? 

    My major is economics, and my minor is communication. I take a class called “a media and the local community" this semester and I remember that my professor told me about the 'Okcheon Newspaper.' I did not know much about it at that time, but I thought that this is a very fresh idea, because this newspaper covers Okcheon rather than the whole country. I was surprised that this newspaper has such a big influence on the community as a local newspaper. I already knew this newspaper and I wanted to know more about the editor-in-chief. Therefore, I read this article with great interest.  
   I think that most readers are not familiar with the notion of 'Community journalism.' So, I think it is good that the Chungdae Post introduced this idea to readers. Daejeon, which is close to Okcheon, has some large newspaper companies such as 'Chungcheong Today' and 'Daejeon Ilbo.' Therefore this article is helpful and makes us think about our local community. However, the connection between 'For Community Journalism' and 'Becoming A Father for A Little Orphan Boy' is a little unnatural. Of course, they both have something to do with a man having a warm heart. When comparing the first paragraph with the next two, I think the latter one is inferior to the former in quantity.

[Zoom In] Outstanding Sense of a Site's Significance

  We have a sad history. The Japanese army forced as many as two-hundred-thousand Korean women to work as prostitutes for its soldiers in World War 2. The comfort women that survived have suffered permanent injury from disease, psychological trauma, or social ostracism. They don't want monetary compensation, but a sincere apology from the japanese government. 
    I was glad that The Chungdae Post reported on Wednesday's demonstration for the comfort women. I think we, as university students, need to think about this problem. It was a remarkable report that described the vivid atmosphere of the site. I felt like I was standing in front of the police. 
    Furthermore, I was surprised that many foreigners were interested in the demonstration. Readers could find out about foreigners' point of view through this article. It was good to include their opinion. Anyway, I want to express my appreciation to the reporter letting us know about the regrettable site of sad, but important demonstration.

[Culture Sketch] Hello! iPhone 

    I don't have an iPhone so I don't know much about them. After reading the iPhone article. I could learn about iPhone in detail. The comparison between Wi-Fi and WIPI was especially good. I did not know why so many people rarely use the internet with their cell phones. The expensive cost of using the internet, domestic mobile companies prevent users from using the internet. However the iPhone allows customers to use the internet because it has a Wi-Fi platform network. It is very informative. The other good thing about the article is that the iPhone is the story-teller in this article. It is easy to read and friendly. 
    However, there is one thing missing in the article, iPhone application development, Of course the CP reporter mentioned the user-friendly interface and applications in the article, but she did not go any further. Let me tell you the reason why I think she should have. After I read this article. I was interested in the iPhone so I used my friend's iPhone a few times. It was great. Many people make and share applications on the internet and as many people know, a Korean girl became famous for recording herself playing an instrument with an iPhone application and uploaded it on YouTube. Many people buy an iPhone because of this function. The article would be that much better if the CP reporter wrote about these features.
