I am a fan of Lisa Ling. Her style of journalism is great and realistic. I been watching her news reports since MTV. Now she is more independent and reports about issues and occurrences as they happen around the world.
Recently, her younger sister was detained by N. Korea officials and placed in prison for attempting to cross the border. There are a lot of undisclosed details and tension about the situation is rising. CNN reports that Hilliary Clinton has asked the N. Korea givernement to release Ling's sister along with another prison be released on amnesty.
Now the question is will this happen and when will it happen? The U.S. and N. Korea aren't exactly bf's at this point in time. Furthermore, what does this action say to American journalist that try to get into North Korea.
