How to let more North Koreans know about the outside world? Do you have any idea?

A few days ago I received a question from Mr. Hüşeyin Deniz who is a teacher in the field of arts and social studies at school.

"We know that the most efficient way toward North Korea's regime change is to let the people know about the outside world.

But the question is How?

What will you suggest? Some activist like Mr. Mark Sleet is sending USB stick and other radio broadcasters are trying too. But how can WE, as independent individuals do? Are there any ways of spreading digital media to the people without being noticed and controlled by the government?

You may consult with your friends or supervisors in the organization..."

I think many North Korean people, especially the poor ones, don't even have access to computers. But they have DVD players, and some have radios which are illegal products. South Korean DVDs are banned in North Korea, but many of them are secretly smuggled. 

I don't know much but hope there are more ways to let the common people change their impression of the US and South Korea, and know their own situation. 

I have not yet thought of this question before, but his question is very fundamental and important to find ways to let North Koreans know about the outside world.

All I do is just writing posts on the blogs to let more people look into the problems of human rights crisis in North Korea, but I wonder if North Koreans read the posts.

I delivered his question to Mr. Greg Forman, director of communications and development of NKinUSA because it was not an easy question to answer.

Today I received an email from Mr. Gre Forman about his answer to the question.

"Except for what Mr. Mark Sleet has done by donating USB sticks, I'm not sure what else specifically someone can do to spread information into North Korea as an individual.  

I agree that helping people in North Korea know about the outside world is extremely important.  Many defectors have said that hearing a radio broadcast or seeing other information is what prompted them to leave North Korea.  

There are different groups that are doing this using both high-tech and low-tech methods (eg. balloon launches and radio broadcasts in addition to smuggling USB sticks).  Most of these groups are private getting little or no government or support or funding.  

I'm not sure if my colleagues have anything else to add to this."

I decided to upload the answer from Mr. Greg Forman as well as the question from Mr. Hüşeyin Deniz because their communications are so meaningful to North Koreans.

Do you have any other opinions?

NKinUSA is a non-profit organization for North Korean refugees in the United States. I have been writing posts on this blog for human rights crisis of North Koreans as a volunteer service.
