On April 27, the Stimson Center will host a discussion highlighting the work of two reports on North Korean information controls in North Korea. Lumen Board Member and renowned North Korea researcher Martyn Williams will launch a new report that details the cat and mouse game played between the North Korean government and citizens over illicit consumption of information, and recent evidence of a more aggressive pushback by some citizens that appears to have worried the government. Peter Ward and Steven Denney will discuss their recently published report, based on interviews with over 300 escapees, about how foreign information is used and disseminated in North Korea and how the state’s information controls adapt accordingly.
