An Infowar Offensive Against North Korea?
The United States will consider expanding its broadcasts to North Korea and providing literature for its people to learn about the outside world, a U.S. government report said Sunday.
The State Department report to Congress said non-governmental organizations have proposed a number of ways to reach the people in North Korea, an isolated communist country.
They include expanding Korean-language broadcasting, increasing medium-wave radio broadcasts, and providing radios or other devices capable of receiving foreign broadcasts in North Korea, it said.
Providing literature from outside North Korea and recording programming onto cassette and video tapes for use in the country have also been proposed, it said.
“The Department of State would explore these and other proposals through a formal process to determine which would be the most effective programs in reaching an audience inside the DPRK without involuntarily putting people in danger of increased harm at the hands of authorities,” the report said.
All I can say, is that it’s about damn time. If anyone has an unclassified version of that report, I’m forever in your debt.
