SEOUL, Nov. 14 (Yonhap) -- An international organization of journalists will provide financial help to three anti-Pyongyang radio stations in South Korea, the Voice of America (VOA) reported Saturday.
According to the VOA, Paris-based Reporters sans Frontiers (RSF) will provide US$380,000 to the three radio stations -- Open Radio for North Korea, Free North Korea Radio and Radio Free Chosun -- which produce and transmit shortwave programs from the South into North Korea.
Pyongyang has in the past asked South Korea to suspend the stations, calling them an obstacle to unification.
Radios are reportedly one of the main tools used by North Koreans to receive information from the outside world. Outside information in North Korea is strictly controlled by the government.
