Abstract
The Korea conflict marked the beginning of the cold war between the big powers. Though, seemingly, this period finished in 1989, Pyongyang's despotic regime still menaces the world with the use of nuclear weapons in order to impose on the world its politics. The article analyses two media aspects of the war: The difficult task of the international journalists who reported from the battleground, watched and censored by the general McArthur; and the propaganda strategy of the British Government, which saw in the confrontation an opportunity for consolidating its privileged relationship with the United States.
