What I did

As part of the team of Honorary Reporters and its overseas columnists, we wrote important stories that center on the people, moments, and ideas at the heart of the Korean cultural conversation.

Overview

Korea.net is the Internet portal representing the Korean government's voice and promoting Korea online. The origins of Korea.net stretch back to The Korea Window, which the government launched in December 1995.

Korea.net provides up-to-date information about Korea across various fields, including government policies, international cooperation, cultural developments, the arts, history, social movements, science, technology, business, sports, and so on. This news outlet provides updates in nine languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, French, German, and Vietnamese.

Most of the information at Korea.net falls into five categories: News Focus, About Korea, Events, Resources, and Government. Thanks to these articles, readers can get information about Korea across many sectors through news articles, encyclopedia-style information sheets, explanations of government policies, reports about the president's summits and diplomatic activities, and even tourism information.

Korea.net has various media platforms to promote Korea online and worldwide. Korea.net has been strengthening communication with its online readers worldwide through different social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Flickr, Weibo, and Youku. In particular, Korea Clickers, our Facebook profile, has more than 600,000 "Likes" as of June 2019, becoming one of Korea's most popular government social media profiles.

Honorary Reporters work with Korea.net overseas columnists to write articles in the languages, in this case for me in English & Spanish, about a wide range of Korea & Koreana. To promote articles, Honorary Reporters also produce and promote social media content related to Korea.
