The overall behavior and brinksmanship of North Korea's supreme leadership has been labelled by many as brass, irrational, unpredictable, and primarily aimed only at gaining concessions from the international community. There are times when North Korea's leadership isolates itself from the international community. At other times, the leadership will use provocations and threats to gain attention and then suddenly offer a proverbial olive branch accompanied by a flurry of goodwill activities. Indeed, we do not need to venture far back into North Korea's history to see multiple sides of the leadership's apparent schizophrenic or multi-polar behavior. Adapted from the source document.

Studies suggest that, at the routine level, news beats function as unique "micro-cultures." Exploring this "particularist" approach in news content, we compare how the interventionist, watchdog, loyal, service, infotainment, and civic roles materialize across 11 thematic news beats and analyze the moderating effect of platforms, ownership, and levels of political freedom on journalistic role performance in hard and soft news. Based on the second wave of the Journalistic Role Performance (JRP) project, this article reports the findings of a content analysis of 148,474 news items from 37 countries. Our results reveal the transversality of interventionism, the strong associations of some topics and roles, and the limited reach of news beat particularism in the face of moderating variables.
