Love how socialist media fills itself out with “check it out another one of our quality-of-life projects is outpacing the five-year plan” instead of sensational freak-crime stories to make you suspicious of the neighbors.
I mean… They don’t have twitter do they? This is purely aimed at shaping outside perception of north korea, is it not?
Which like, you may feel it is an accurate portrayal and reflects actual success of the ideology but it is still, at least to my understanding, neccisarily outwards facing propaganda vs internal media
I do appreciate focus on functional things that dont just seek to alienate you from others though. The “PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUS” news in the western world and especially America is fucking exhausting. I feel like you articulated the way that shapes peoples perception really well. I’m painfully bad at brevity and you captured the idea very succinctly
You’re correct in that they don’t have X the everything app. But there are sites that serve similar functions for quick digital dissemination of news on the Kwangmyong, they’re more similar to old school forums/BBSs and chat rooms
There are ways you as a westerner can view internal DPRK media(through third-part aggregators such as Koryo.tv for state tv and radio broadcasts) and compare to see the clear difference to the sensationalistic outlets that thrive elsewhere for yourself
These kinds of stories are circulated internally too. Showcasing workers demonstrating how under socialism their efforts cumulatively improve domestic life even when under sanctions and siege can be very heartening.

We had an AMA with a North Korean political staff member on Hexbear lmao
Wait, really? I will try search it, it seems interesting
