Ask A North Korean Ask A North Korean: What is the function of the state run daily Rodong Sinmun?A defector describes what he learned from reading the newspaper every day and how it differs from South Korean dailies
 “Ask a North Korean” is an NK News series featuring interviews with and columns by North Korean defectors, most of whom left the DPRK within the last few years. Readers may submit their questions for defectors by emailing [email protected] and including their first name and city of residence. Today’s question asks about North Korea’s state-run daily newspaper, Rodong Sinmun. Seonghyeon — who was born and raised in North Korea and lived there until he defected in 2019 — writes about the reporting in the Rodong Sinmun, the purpose it serves and his first encounters with South Korean journalism. © Korea Risk Group.
