In this article, Will Ripley, a CNN correspondent in North Korea is
known to give updates on different issues related to North Korea, but mostly
the relationship between North Korea and the United States over the
denuclearization concerns. Will Ripley represents what is known as bold or
daring reporting. Of course, knows North Korea and the Kim Jong UN’s regime. This
is a lawlessness state where anything can happen to anybody, in particular the
reporters who are constantly kept on toes and only report on selected issues
for fear of the type of judgment that could follow thereafter. For example, “The
individuals who spoke to CNN requested anonymity because they were not
authorized to publicly speak about the situation.” This simply shows that there
is no freedom of speech in the country. Sometimes I wonder how people like Will
Ripley survive in North Korea where anything goes, you can be there today and
tomorrow you are no more. This is evident from what is being reported ‘a
diplomat being executed just because of a failed Summit.’
