38 North

38 North is a blog about North Korea maintained by the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies and authored by its faculty and by guest commentators.

The site analyzes reporting on North Korea from a cautious perspective. NK News has summarized its editorial philosophy as one which holds the view that "anyone who professes certainty [as to events in North Korea] should be viewed with the greatest skepticism."[1] Among the site's sections is "Mediabusters" which 38 North describes as shining "the spotlight on 'the good, the bad and the ugly' of Western media coverage, busting myths and uninformed news stories."[2]

The blog has been cited on several occasions by the Associated Press.[3][4]
