<p>The best available source of information on access to media devices in the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a survey conducted by InterMedia as part of its
2012 report ‘A Quiet Opening: North Koreans in a Changing Media Environment’. http://audiencescapes.org/sites/default/files/A_Quiet_Opening_FINAL_InterMedia.pdf.
The report includes a section on the effectiveness of radio broadcasts which is best
read in context and taking into account the authors’ caveats about the report’s findings.
It is clear that, for those North Koreans willing and able to take the risk of listening,
cross-border radio broadcasts can provide access to information that is otherwise
not available within the DPRK. There are a number of radio stations that broadcast
into the DPRK for this reason. Without further information, it is difficult to quantify
the effectiveness of these stations.</p>
