North Korea’s ubiquitous standing newspaper displays, one of the most popular ways for locals to read the party-run Rodong Sinmun, have started to go digital: At the newly-renovated Kaeson metro station in Pyongyang, authorities have replaced the displays with an interactive touchscreen, a video posted on Chinese social media shows.
Passengers waiting for a train can now zoom in on current or former editions of the Rodong Sinmun or click on icons to view a selection of international, sports and sci-tech news from other state-run media outlets, according to a video posted on Weibo on Feb. 24.
