When you read a line like this one in a newspaper (in this case, the Joongang Ilbo), you can be sure you’ve encountered another case of journalistic malpractice:

In the first agreement of its kind, non-governmental groups from both Koreas said yesterday they would hold an anniversary event to mark the inter-Korean summit of 2000 in the North, and an Aug. 15 Liberation Day event in the South.

Um, “non-governmental groups” in North Korea?
