Bringing the News to North Korea

Abstract

This paper presents background and suggestions for an information campaign to weaken the Kim Jong-il regime by strengthening the North Korean people with information and ideas. Intermediate policy goals include communicating the ideas of democracy and capitalism to the North Korean people and changing their negative attitudes toward the United States. The means to accomplish these goals include providing information to the North Korean people about their country and about the outside world. The final outcome of such a campaign would presumably be the collapse of North Korea as a separate state into the arms of South Korea.
