When I look at the list of new posts here at Dave's ESL Cafe I see a lot of newspaper articles reposted from the English language newspapers.

Who decides which newspaper articles to cover here? Why do we always hear about U.S. beef, but never about the nurse talks?

As long as there is an eslcafe.com I can cancel my subsription to the newspaper if just a few more obsessive/compulsive posters would just go the extra kilometer and post a discussion article about everything in the newspaper, every day!

The Korean English-language press tends to be a bit more rosey than what Koreans consider fit for internal consumption. This is why Koreabeat and the Marmot are so essential.
