You seem to be well read in the topic, so I guess you are well aware of if not all of the listed material, at least the majority of it.
It seems to do a fairly good job of listing KR positive media coverage over the period. For me it was interesting to see how the infamous misguided Swedish delegation actually was part of something much larger, I had always thought that Jan Myrdal’s visit was a one-off in epically misguided leftism agitation and a huge low-water mark in Swedish socialistic attempts to tell “the evil capitalists of the US” how bad they were, but have not been able to be able to put it into a greater perspective until I found that site, I did not know that Norway and Denmark amongst others also did similar publicity visits and spread naive propaganda in the media once they returned. Reading it made me feel ashamed of the European leftism of the era.
