U.S. to exempt journalists, aid workers from N. Korea travel ban

The restrictions will begin on September 1 and last for one year

Journalists, aid workers and individuals heading to North Korea to represent U.S. national interests will be exempt from an upcoming travel ban, according to a preview of a notice set for publication tomorrow in the Federal Register.

The restriction on travel is set to begin on September 1,  30 days after its publication, and will declare U.S. passports invalid for travel to North Korea unless they qualify for an exemption.
