North Korea: Foreign bureau opens
Written byJohn Kennedy
International news agency Associated Press has opened a bureau in the North Korean capitol of Pyongyang, blogs Asiapundit‘s myrick, making it the third to do so after China's Xinhua and Russia's Tass:
“It will be interesting to see what sort of copy the local staff will produce for AP. But as this is a country that jails cheerleaders, AsiaPundit is not expecting it to be be of much news value.”

Correction: the bureau is just for TV, not for AP print journalists, so they’ll be producing pictures (probably mostly footage obtained from North Korean TV), not written copy.
