Hi. I saw you started an article here, "Following Jung Myeong Seok Case". The difficulty is, you were presenting historical material. Wikinews doesn't publish historical material; that's primarily the province of Wikipedia, which has of course its own principles and practices by which it chooses to pursue its encyclopedic goals. The article also had a non-neutral feeling to it; it seemed to be trying to convince the reader of something; persuasion isn't news, it's propaganda, whereas news presents facts that help the reader to understand the situation better so the reader can make informed assessments.

You may find the following pages helpful in understanding Wikinews better; it's great that you're interested in contributing here, but you do need to understand the project in order to do so. --Pi zero (talk) 20:32, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
