Newspapers, beginning with The New York Times, were able to make effective use of this technology, and many published regular rotogravure pictorial sections in their publications during the early 20th century.

Korean Newsreel

Korean Newsreel (Korean: 『조선시보』; Hanja: 朝鮮新報) is a North Korean newsreel series that first premiered in March 1948. It was produced by the National Film Studio of North Korea (국립영화촬영소) until 1957, when the National Film Studio became the Korean Art Film Studio (조선예술영화촬영소) and a separate studio for producing documentaries and newsreels, the Korean Documentary Film Studio (조선기록영화촬영소), was established. Production of the series continued even during the 1950–1953 Korean War, with film reporters moving alongside North Korean troops during the fighting. Another newsreel was produced between 1950 and 1953 titled For The Reunification of the Fatherland (조국통일을 위하여). It is not known with certainty how many episodes of the series were created, with different sources citing 40, 70, and 80 episodes.
