Researching the country, the Olympics, events

Since 2016, I have been monitoring several online sites....

They include The Korea Herald.  It is an online English ‘newspaper’ that gives a sense for local business, politics, sports and other current events. Lately, the North Korea situation is getting lots of coverage:  The Korea Herald 

The Korea Herald Sports section inc Olympics is also a good site to hit.

I have also set up a Google search that hits any Olympic stories from the last 24 hours - it captures mainstream media stories as well as obscure items like small town stories about their local Olympian (or Olympic volunteer). It hits many international stories so it is quite well rounded in the coverage:
The last 24 hours of PyeongChang Olympic news

During the games, social media will light up from every athlete - so I don’t think any angle will be missed.

Of course, I am following the Canadian Olympic Team:   Team Canada

I am not on Facebook, so I can imagine there is a whole world out there of other coverage.  I do have an Instagram account (granda15), which may get a few picture posts while I am in Korea.
