On Saturday, Daily NK’s inaugural crowdfunding campaign passed its goal of $10,000 thanks to the generosity of 180 funders from all corners of the world. Several months of planning predated the launch of the project, forming part of a coordinated effort to rebrand and reintroduce Daily NK to the international community. The staff of Daily NK is grateful to a number of respected organizations, periodicals and blogs responsible for propelling us past the finish line, including:
Busan Haps
Dartmouth Asian Pacific American Alumni Association
Groove
Gusts of Popular Feeling
Liberty in North Korea
North Korea Economy Watch
NK News
One Free Korea
The Guardian
THE NEXT WEB
The Wall Street Journal
Fundraising in North Korean affairs can all too easily turn into a minefield, impossible to navigate alone. That’s why Daily NK is so excited about the community partnerships that have been formed through this campaign, the kind of relationships that can help to ensure this periodical’s long-term sustainability. Moreover, we’re deeply grateful to the individual readers who took the step of offering financial support to our work safeguarding the free flow of information all across the Korean Peninsula.
Backers can expect their gifts to be dispatched during the first week of October.
