Need your news fix in English on stuff about Korea?
Here’s what I read and/or in my RSS Reader:
Korea Herald – http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/ – Hands down one of the best newspapers in Korea on Korea.
Korea Times – http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/index.asp – Also another good newspaper in Korea on Korea
Ohmynews – http://english.ohmynews.com/ -Citizen journalism
Republic of Korea’s Official Website – http://www.korea.net/ – They have frequent contests and its a very attractive site.
Others:
Chosun Ilbo – http://english.chosun.com/ – Sites too simple… I don’t like reading it.
Donga Ilbo – http://english.donga.com/ – Sites ugly
Invest Korea – http://www.investkorea.org/ – Investment news… beyond my level of interest.
Joonang Daily – http://joongangdaily.joins.com/ - Not enough content
Korea Post – http://www.koreapost.com/ – Sites ugly
Korea Travel Times – http://www.koreatraveltimes.com/ – Travel Information for English speakers in Korea
Seoulites – http://webzine.seoul.go.kr/ – Webzine that’s updated quarterly
Seoul Metropolitan Government – http://english.seoul.go.kr/ – Updated Weekly
Seoul Times – http://www.theseoultimes.com/ – Haven’t really checked this one out
However I feel that blogs are probably one of the fastest ways to get information quickly:
The Daily Kimchi -Random Daily Korean News
Korea Beat – Translates Korean news articles into English
Korean Law Blog – News about Korean law changes
Marmot’s Hole – It’s a good general news about Korea
Pop Seoul – Pop news about Korean Celebrities
Zen Kimchi - Random Korean News
Am I missing anything? Please feel free to share yours here.
