As a journalist myself I have several comments regarding the WSJ article:
1. Whatever the comments the researcher gave in the interview (taking into consideration the context she gave after) it& #39;s clear that the publication did have an agenda/editorial focus.

2. Any research has limitations and error range that must be clear and public in the paper. If the sample taken isn& #39;t representative, it says almost nothing about the entirety of the demographic, if anything, says more about an specific part of it.
3. Knowing that the data collected isn& #39;t representative (you HAVE to know that 19 interviews are not representative if you& #39;re a journalist covering BTS and ARMY): is it ethical to use it as facts in your article? Is it a solid argument? Here, the publication failed.
4. If you know your research isn& #39;t final and it has to many holes, you shouldn& #39;t use it for references. Neither for other studies nor for an interview, and again, as a journalist you shouldn& #39;t quote it in your article (specially if it& #39;s the WSJ, please)
5/1. And final, as an ARMY we must know that any research our Academics ARMYs do won& #39;t be 100% representative since our fandom is way to big and diverse.
I think not even studies made by HYBE/BigHit Music themselves could be 100% accurate (when it comes to ARMY)

5/2. What we do have to acknowledge is the fact that these papers/studies help to document our fandom, even the parts of the demographic that aren& #39;t representative of the majority but do exists.
Interdisciplinary studies + diverse approach/focus help understand the complexity of our fandom.
None of them -individually- are facts about ARMY, if anything, all those studies together could represent -at some extent- our fandom dynamic

Ps. Held people accountable but don& #39;t be unnecessary rude towards others https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">
