Jason Strother is a contributor to Al Jazeera. He only has two articles, both centered around South Korea. He is currently based in Seoul, South Korea so it makes sense why his two articles are about that area. He is writing to people who are interested in something different. A lot of the news today is the same old, same old. There is rarely anything different being written. Both of his articles are very different than what the mainstream world would read about on a daily. His most recent article is about Korea's first black model. That is not something seen everyday. His other article is about how South Koreans are using fox genitalia to find love. These are new and interesting topics that will draw many people to his work. The purpose of his articles are to direct to his audience. He looks for the new and different because it appeals to everyone. The first thing he says in his article is, "The object is said to deliver love to its possessor via powers derived from the spirit world. Kim paid around $300 for a dehydrated fox vagina that was blessed by a shaman." Strother placed those sentences like that in order to shock the reader. He writes for the shock factor and that is a great quality of a journalist. Check out his Twitter and articles linked down below!
