In April 2018, Washington Post reporter Anna Fifield posted the below-pictured tweet in an attempt to denigrate what she sees as a lack of diversity in DPRK media.
Contrary to Fifield, there actually is a diversity of views in DPRK media, which anyone can appreciate as long as they rid themselves of the idea that DPRK media speaks in the monolithic voice of an Orientalist caricature of a "dictator."
On the other hand, there is no diversity in imperial media coverage of DPRK.
An example of diversity from DPRK: On April 1, 2018, Rodong Sinmun writer An Chol Gwon published an editorial attacking capitalist culture, including music and dance. On the very same day, Kim Jong Un attended a concert by RoK musicians in Pyongyang.
The next day, Rodong Sinmun reported that KJU "was deeply moved to see [DPRK] people sincerely acclaiming the performance, deepening the understanding of [RoK] popular art." Despite An Chol Gwon's having issuing an opinion at odds with KJU's, An has continued to write for Rodong Sinmun.
Compare that display of two widely diverging opinions in DPRK media with any selections from imperial media's coverage of DPRK. Although the latter seems to provide a greater number of media sources, their DPRK coverage is exactly the same.
Take for example this anecdote, in which an incestuous group-grope featuring the Seoul bureau chiefs of NPR, Stars & Stripes, Wall Street Journal, Agence France Presse and Associated Press had to be canceled so they could report on breaking news of a DPRK/RoK summit.
All the Seoul-based media clerks went their separate ways to file their reports, which wound up being virtually identical not only in their "message" but even in their lexical choices as well.
Stars & Stripes: "Trump was cautiously optimistic"
AP: "Trump cautiously welcomed 'possible progress'"
Wall Street Journal: "White House's wariness...Trump said he is hopeful"
NPR and AFP didn't explicitly use "cautious" or "wary," but they quoted the same Trump tweet as the others did.
Stars & Stripes: "after months of rising tension"
AP: "Tensions had run high"
Wall Street Journal: "an easing of tensions"
AFP: "after a year of high tensions"
There is no substantive difference between the reports by the Seoul-based bureau chiefs from imperialist nations, yet the Wall Street Journal and Associated Press bureau chiefs have the audacity to criticize DPRK for providing "one narrative" of "media manipulation."
In 2017, the NPR and Wall Street Journal Seoul bureau chiefs, plus many anti-DPRK think-tank spooks and a UN "expert," all attended Reuters reporter James Pearson’s wedding at the home of UK's ambassador to RoK. Are we expected to believe that they don't cooperate on "media manipulation"?
In any event, the vast majority of Korea-based reporters from imperialist nations are functionally illiterate in the Korean language. Therefore, they shouldn't even pretend to have an opinion about DPRK media, the majority of which they can't effectively read or listen to.

North Korea's state newspaper Rodong Sinmun and its Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) condemned the West's "reptile media" on Monday for promoting capitalism, which the propaganda outlets described as "a corrupt society rushing headlong into its doom."
A general view of the new terminal of Pyongyang International Airport is pictured in this undated photo released by North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Designer shirts, duty free watches and cosmetics, and chocolate fondue will soon await visitors to North Korea, according to photos of Pyongyang's new airport terminal released by state media.
