Also, is there any of this linkable back to Japan? Hmm... Discuss, discuss...if you wish. westerners seem to like his film. is it art? But, all his films seem like this.

And I would think you know that there is difference in Mokyongtang and Jjimjilbang. And I certainly haven't seen non-koreans going into jjimjilbang until recently. Well, I guess NYT isn't fair and balanced like Screw. If my head is stuck up my ass, it is only to escape from the putrid stench that comes from your mouth and fingers. sperwer,

Also, the difference between news and features is not what you're suggesting. the real difference is length and time. Features tend to be longer while news articles tends to be shorter. Also, news is printed right away (because it is related to a specific event), while features can be printed within a given time period (because they are related to a general trend). Usually, editors will hold onto a feature until a good news item comes along that they can use as a "peg." So you'll see a news article about a group of drunk teenagers getting killed in a car accident and on the next page you'll see a feature on, let's say, MADD. I think you want to point out the difference between hard and soft news. I doubt newspapers want to mix it up and therefore include stories about travel. The travel section, as well as the auto section, are traditionally the big money makers. It's not about "mixing it up." @ Carr,

Newspapers try to mix it up from time to time so it's not all crime and scandal -- that's why we get articles on literature and travel, and human-interest stories as well. Human trafficking and prostitution generally fall under "news", so the features reporter wouldn't ordinarily be expected to focus on that.
