“What Are the Implications of the Collapse of America?” : Rodong Sinmun vs. Brzezinski
While KNCA’s English page remains an essential resource, and the new Rodong Sinmun English version is similarly interesting, there is no substitute for reading the whole Korean paper every day, an action which is now possible (at least for readers outside the ROK firewall) thanks to North Korea’s expanded digital footprint.

Anchorwomen, Tanks, and Other Symbols
– Martyn Williams has a tremendous illustrated run-down of the unprecedented Korean Central TV-China Central TV collaboration during the Spring Festival; Xinhua reporter Zhang Li — who was the first Chinese reporter in Pyongyang on television about 15 minutes after the announcement of Kim’s death — strikes again in conversation with her distinguished North Korean […]
