News Comment #4
In the article I read, it stated that North Korea has fired another missile over Japan. This now makes the fifteenth missile test North Korea has conducted this year. It comes after the United Nations passed sanctions against the nation, which North Korea threatened retaliation towards. The missile landed 1,200 miles east of Cape Erimo.
As someone who has currently been following the rising tensions between North Korea and the United States, this is slightly concerning me. While I don’t believe anything bad will happen, the amount of missile tests they have been conducting lately has been giving me a lot of reason to concern. My one complaint with the article is that there isn’t much of a lede to get me hooked into the article.

I would agree the lede is a bit low-key, but based on what you write here, you are concerned about N. Korea’s behavior. Should the media get people even more worked up with big ledes? Or just approach them with grace? (More class discussion, Dylan)
