The Chosun Ilbo will introduce a global cross-media program in cooperation with the world's leading broadcasters. The newspaper has agreed with BBC, BBC World and TBS of Japan to air a documentary series about North Korean refugees entitled "On The Border" throughout the world.
The newspaper is negotating with more broadcasters in the U.S. and Europe. "On The Border" is a four-part high-definition documentary series based on materials Chosun Ilbo journalists gathered on the human rights situation of the North Korean refugees. The Chosun Ilbo organized a special team in May last year and reporters spent 10 months, sometimes at considerable risk, gathering the material.
BBC and BBC World will have the exclusive right to the documentary throughout the world, except for Korea and Japan, until May. "On The Border" will run on the BBC as news and in documentary program from April. TBS will broadcast "On The Border" for two weeks starting the afternoon of March 3 via Evening News and News 23.
In South Korea, cable and private regional TV channels will begin broadcast the documentary from March 3. They are Gangwon Television Broadcasting (GTB), Taegu Broadcasting Corporation (TBC), Jeju Free International City Broadcasting System (JIBS), and Cheongju Broadcasting (CJB).
