[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 77, Issue 9

[Bruce Cumings]

Many North Korean newspapers, and those published in the South while  
the North occupied it in the summer of 1950 like the Haebang ilbo, are  
in RG242, "Captured Enemy Documents," in the US National Archives.  
These include previously unavailable runs of the Nodong sinmun through  
the late 1940s, provincial newspapers, and a myriad of other  
publications. Because these materials were gathered up during the UN  
occupation of the North, they begin in 1945 and terminate in early  
1951. But the first six months of the war are well covered in a  
variety of newspapers in this collection.
