YTN

YTN launched in 1995 as South Korea's first rolling news channel. It introduced the continuous news format to the country and has held its position as a reference point in breaking news ever since.

Its coverage of North Korea is a distinct specialism: it has institutional expertise in assessing the limited information that comes across the border and in tracking missile tests and diplomatic developments. That makes it valuable for readers who want events on the Korean peninsula followed from the region.

It broadcasts in Korean.
