Reporters Without Borders Annual Report 2006 - Internet: North Korea
The country is the most closed-off in the world and the government, which has total control of the media, refused until recently to be connected to the Internet. Only a few thousand privileged people have access to it and then only to a heavily-censored version, including about 30 sites praising the regime. Among these is www. uriminzokkiri. com, which has photos and adulation of the "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il and his late father Kim Il Sung.
