New North Korea Databases Added

In response to requests for Korean-language data, we scraped the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) site for Korean content earlier this year. That data is now available in our dataverse and includes just over 105,000 articles running from October 2013 through January 2021.

In addition to the KCNA Korean-language data, we added a new database from the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), also available for download in our dataverse. The MOFA data is from April 2017 through January 2021.

Our existing North Korean KCNA and Rodong Sinmun databases were also updated to include data from 2020. That data is also available for download in our dataverse.
