Free North Korea Radio

Free North Korea Radio staff have been assaulted repeatedly by South Korean extremist groups who support the North Korean regime or fear the destabilizing effect of their broadcasts. Radio staff had to relocate to the outskirts of Seoul in 2005. In response to news of the cyber attack, Col. David Maxwell, an analyst on North Korea, commented: "It's not surprising that [Scholte] would have been targeted." Maxwell said, "I think the regime is focused on her organization because of the radio broadcasts...Shortwave radio broadcasts are one of the most effective ways to get outside information into North Korea, and the information has an effect." ==Types of broadcasts==

Free North Korea Radio broadcasts a variety of news and information into North Korea, including news of current events happening within North Korea. The organization relies on a network of anonymous sources inside North Korea for this information, which it also publishes on its Korean-language website. ==Funding==

As of 2008, Free North Korea Radio received an annual grant from the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy. As of 2020, Free North Korea Radio's English language website stated that it no longer received funding of any kind from the U.S. government. == Frequency ==
