NK News Information

We are an independent, privately owned specialist site focused on North Korea. We have no affiliation to any political organisation or country. In addition to our team of experts who closely follow all developments in North Korea, ranging from the political and military to social and culture, we have a trusted network of anonymous sources both inside and outside the state who help us shape our analysis. This helps us give you a perspective that is different to regular news wires where journalists are often shipped in and shipped out to give fast-turnaround reporting on breaking events without specialist long term knowledge of the country. We also aim to offer perspectives and insights that challenge the think-tank orthodoxy of Washington DC and promote a better understanding of North Korea. We are a vibrant and popular platform for intellectual exchange on an isolated state, traditionally covered in mainstream media from a perspective that demonstrates little knowledge of the language, culture, and complicated history of the Korean peninsula.
