Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng has a special report for The Listening Post from perhaps the most closed country in the world: North Korea. Despite the destabilising effects of rumours about the health of their Dear Leader, Kim Jong Il, international condemnation over their nuclear programme, and a dysfunctional economy that has brought mass starvation to its people, the DPRK maintains a status quo of near total media lockdown. Although a trickle of outside media have been allowed in recently, as Tony's piece illustrates, what they see only offers a fleeting and superficial glimpse of life inside the so-called 'hermit kingdom'. And finally, Barack Obama is the US president-elect. Our Video of the Week this week sees the boys from the iconic 'Wassup' beer commercial of 2000 reunited eight years later, on the cusp of a new era.
9.88 min. | 4.69 user rating		 This episode of Listening Post looks at the propaganda and pitfalls of reporting on and from the closed world of Kim Jong Il's North Korea. For this week's News Divide, we peek behind the bamboo curtain and look into the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It has been described, by some commentators in the west, as a 'hermetically sealed' country, with no Western news bureaux. Few reporters get access into this secretive state, but we speak to Al Jazeera's Diplomatic Correspondent, Mark Seddon who has visited the country many times, to see what it is like to report from the hermit kingdom. The news coming out of Pyongyang is so restricted, that when their leader, Kim Jong Il, failed to turn up for the country's 60th birthday celebrations, the rumour mills went into overdrive with speculation about his ailing health. But where does the real story lie and how much truth is there coming out of the rumour mill? Plus in Plus in part two we report on the demise of the US newspaper industry.

Kim Ki-duk's 2001 film "Address Unknown" presents a political allegory of modern Korea by referencing post-war trauma through local characters set in a US military base town in rural area near the border with N.Korea in 1970. The physical and emotional scars of past violence reveal current victimisation re-enacting social injustice. Cold War militarism and the US presence shatter the lives of three young people and the community as they internalise the destruction of their lives.
