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
On November 4, 2020, NK News reported that the majority of Choson Sinbo's content was placed behind a paywall, which could result in legal troubles due to sanctions against North Korea.[3]
