North Korea Radio Broadcasts Plummet, Defectors Fight On

Outside radio broadcasts into North Korea have plummeted by 85%, leaving only a few small groups like FNK to continue transmitting. This comes after US and South Korean governments cut funding and suspended operations for major channels, including Voice of America and Radio Free Asia. The South Korean government also halted cross-border broadcasts to reduce tensions. Despite these challenges, a defector-turned-lawyer launched a website and app to provide an alternative way for North Koreans abroad to access outside information. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
