Yes of course. I would settle for simply a source that isn’t vetted by a government before publication
Can’t imagine why that’s your dividing line when the alternative is one vetted by a billionaire exploiter before publication.
It’s not a line. I need a combination of multiple sources in order to properly sus out the truth. There is independent journalism. That exists. I don’t know if it exists in North Korea, which is why I’m asking for a source to add to my rss feed. Nobody has given me one yet. All I want is a news source so I can stop getting my information from the imperial core, and no one has given me one yet.
I would have given you KCNA, but I don’t think they have RSS. Actually I don’t think any of the Korean news websites have RSS.
I’ll check them out regardless. Thank you
What is “independent journalism,” in your view?
Journalism that is free from corporatations, governments, or powerful rich weirdos.
In that case, you’re going to be extremely limited. There’s plenty of YouTube videos like this one from Boy Boy, but that’s going to be the limit if you want neither corporations nor governments. Media is gatekept globally behind deals and limited access.
How can that be possible? There are plenty of news sources here that aren’t backed by corporations nor governments. Obviously we have a problem with bias in media globally, but it’s not ALL media. I’m more looking for the North Korean equivalent of, like, Counterpunch, Common Dreams, Real News Network, or hell, even Democracy Now.
Those are all linked with corporations, though, with few exceptions. The DPRK has a planned economy, the means of production and distribution are socially owned. Thus, “independence” is in reality private ownership. Your decision to distrust socially owned media is more of a personal choice, but there’s a lot to learn from it.
It’s not a distrust of socially owned media, it’s a distrust of states. I don’t trust any government to give me facts about what’s happening in their own country. In a place where people are allowed to independently investigate and publish their own findings or even their own opinions, I can at get an idea of how a variety of common folks I’ve and feel within their systems. I can’t find a source like that for DPRK
