WITNESS: In Pyongyang, a tale of two concerts

Me! Me! Me! That's
what's important here.

This from the Boston Globe. Very interesting stuff.

None of that shit belongs at the top of the story IMHO. That's no decent lede. Since when is the person doing the reporting the story?

Well in this case, it might be because its Jon Herskovitz who is doing the reporting and is writing in the third person.

Jon Herskovitz has been chief correspondent for Reuters in South Korea for three years. He has served as an Asian affairs correspondent for Reuters based in New York and as a reporter in Tokyo, and ran the Dallas bureau before heading to Korea. He has travelled to parts of the North three times but made his first trip to Pyongyang when he joined media covering the New York Philharmonic orchestra's unprecedented concert in the North Korean capital last week.

I've always been under the impression the story is the story and not the news source, but what the fuck do I know? I'm just an amateur blogger.
