There should be a picture of her. This is wikipedia standard practice.

I assume you can't get arrested unless you actually crossed over the border. I'm wondering how far across they were. The article isn't complete without that information, and the news stories I've read so far don't reveal that information. Weren't they have taking pictures of the refugees as they were crossing over the border? Seems odd they didn't just wait. Dream Focus 19:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
This article needs to be merged with 2009 imprisonment of US journalists by North Korea since it's not noteworthy otherwise and just repeates the same info from the "2009 imprisonment of US journalists by North Korea" article.-- RossF18 ( talk) 00:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment: If these unfortunate women have been made notable by virtue of their widely condemned imprisonment by a rogue regime on presumably trumped-up charges, then all the Guantanamo detainees must also have been made notable by theirs, and each ought to have their own article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.218.107 ( talk) 06:54, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Ling is Famous now. A US President went all the way to North Korea to secure her release. Yes she now merits her own wikipedia article as does her colleague. 70.215.151.27 ( talk) 03:33, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
A little more detail about her ordeal in North Korea can be found here. It appears she is an expectant mother as well. Article Xenophrenic ( talk) 19:21, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
Laura Ling has written a book about the detainment in North Korea but the book isn't mentioned in the article. It is titled "Somewhere Inside". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ongepotchket ( talk • contribs) 10:57, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I would like to create a separate awards section to include all the awards Ling has won thus far. The proposed text would read:
Ling was named one of Glamour magazine's Women of the Year in 2009. In 2011, Ling received the McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, and in 2014, she won an Emmy Award and an Edward R. Murrow Award (Radio Television Digital News Association) for SoCal Connected. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] In 2012, Ling was inducted into the San Juan Education Foundation Hall of Fame. [6] As the Director of Development and Correspondent for Discovery Digital Networks, Ling won a Gracie Award in 2016. [7]
While she was the vice president of Vanguard, the show won several awards including a Peabody Award, two Emmy nominations, a Prism Award, and an Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award. [8] [9]

E! Investigates [1] [2] [3] [4]
Vanguard Society X with Laura Ling How Africa is Hacking its Energy Crisis Rituals with Laura Ling Loucraig ( talk) 19:30, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
I intend to add the following content (with some rewording to existing content) to the Career Section:
At the time of her capture, Ling was undercover making a documentary about North Korean defectors, who were primarily women, and the dangers they faced once across the Chinese border at the Tumen River including forced marriages and trafficking, deportation, and being viewed as a criminal.
[1]
[2]
Ling hosted a one-hour news show on E! Network, entitled E! Investigates, which premiered on December 8, 2010. [3] [4] The show targeted a younger audience and focused on pop culture. [4] Her second show on E! was called Society X with Laura Ling, which aired on October 3, 2013. [5] [6] In addition, Ling hosted a news program on KCET, which focused on local news in Los Angeles; the show aired nightly. [7] Ling has also worked on projects for Nightline, NBC, PBS, and The WB (now The CW). [8]
In 2015, Ling partnered with The ONE Campaign to make a documentary How Africa is Hacking the Its Energy Crisis, which was posted on the Seeker Stories YouTube channel. [9] Ling also created and reported on Rituals with Laura Ling, which was also posted to the Seeker Stories YouTube channel. [10]
Of the trial, Ling stated, "I had tried to prepare myself for a lengthy sentence, but realling nothing could prepare me for the verdict when I heard the words twelve years...he said, no forgiveness, no appeal...And I was wondering if those words meant that the window of opportunity had closed and my fate was sealed." [11]
Many in both the United States and South Korea have also accused Ling and Lee of creating a diplomatic crisis with the DPRK during a particularly tense emergency that was already ongoing between North Korea and the United States. [2]These accusations have been addressed in both Ling and Lee's memoirs. [2] In an interview with NPR, Lisa Ling said of the political climate with North Korea, "The tensions on the Korean peninsula had been worsening and becoming increasingly more severe, and some say that it was one of the low points in U.S.-North Korea relations." [11] In the efforts to negotiate Ling and Lee's release, diplomatic envoys were brought up as an option, and many different envoys were considered including the Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson, former President Jimmy Carter, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and finally President Bill Clinton, who was ultimately accepted as an envoy by the North Koreans.
