Kim Jong Un

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
To be quite frank, I was very curious how much information would be obtained on Kim Jong Un seeing how hard it is to get any kind of press in North Korea. Many people view him negatively, so I was curious to see if that were to be reflected in the article. All political press is a little skewed, so I figured I would also try to sense any bias in the article even though it would be hard not to.

Evaluate the article
I do believe the persons involved in writing the article did well in their lead section and introducing Kim. It was all factual, and I was quite surprised on how much information was provided in the whole article. The balance of content was not bad as they covered Kim Jong Un's personal life and political accomplishments and standings as well as general context and background information.

However, I do think the organization could be worked on since I was able to find random bits of his personal life wedged into sections of his political career. The sources were well cited for the most part and there is a decent amount of citations to my surprise. I do think that the very last section was a bit misplaced and should be held off until there is a citation to fact check it. "Kim established his own Kippumjo or "pleasure brigade" of about 2,000 women after his father's group had been disbanded. Defectors have reported how schools are scanned for possible candidates to serve Kim and the party for entertainment and sex.[need quotation to verify]".

I do give props to those who have written on this page because I cannot wrap my head around how hard it is to have a camera as the right time and place in North Korea. I do not know if it is in my head, but I do feel there are times in which the writer's opinions seems to bleed into the article a little as it is understandably hard not to write a political article without some hints of bias. Overall, I am actually in shock with how detailed this article is and the fact that these details are all cited and backed up by reliable sources (from the ones I checked). I learned a good amount and I am impressed at the article (not Kim Jong Un himself, just to clarify).
