The Choson Sinbo (朝鮮新報, Korean: 조선신보; or Chosun Shinbo), also known by the name of its English edition The People's Korea, is a newspaper based in Japan, published in both Korean and Japanese. The name literally means 'Korea Newspaper'. It is published by the General Association of Korean Residents,[1] a pro-North Korea representative body for Zainichi Koreans, who also run The People's Korea (PK), an English language news site.
When reporting from North Korea, Choson Sinbo journalists enjoy more freedoms than other foreign reporters. They have managed to publish exclusive stories on projects in the country and scoops on Japan–North Korea relations.[2]
History
