North Korean Media - Internet

Internet

Internet use in North Korea is restricted to internet cafes or hotels designated for foreign tourists in Pyongyang, connected via a satellite link. A few of the government elite with state approval are connected to the internet via a link to China. The general population of North Korea do not have internet access, however the people do have access to Kwangmyong, an intranet set up by the government. North Korea itself has a limited presence on the internet, with several sites on their national .kp domain. These include KCNA and the Worker's Party of Korea daily, the Rodong Sinmun. Another site, Uriminzokkiri hosts North Korean television, movies, and other multimedia. Uriminzokkiri also fields a Youtube channel, uriminzokkiri 님의 채널. Exiled North Korean journalists contribute to online sites and the blogosphere.
