New York, July 11, 2011 - Reuters today announced an expansion of its
relationship with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's Central News
Agency (KCNA).
The new agreement will provide Reuters access to news video from North Korea via
satellite for timely distribution to broadcasters and publishers around the
world. The Reuters News Agency will be the first international news organization
to have a full time satellite dish in North Korea, delivering clean news video
content in addition to the text and pictures covered by a previous agreement - a
significant benefit to broadcasters across the globe.
"We know the world's broadcasters are seeking more news from North Korea, and
this agreement will ensure our clients have a regular supply of up to the minute
video stories from Pyongyang and across the country," said Chris Ahearn,
president of Reuters Media.
The agreement with KCNA covers both breaking and feature news video, and marks a
significant expansion by Reuters in delivering news from one of the world's most
important datelines. As part of the arrangement Reuters will also be providing
editorial training and KCNA will facilitate regular visits to North Korea by
senior Reuters journalists.
