North Korea has a particularly interesting media system because the communist country is so secretive. They don’t allow majority of their media to be exported and they allow NO media to be imported so their media structure is very unique when compared to other countries. Because North Korea is so private, there is much about their media systems that we do not know, but below I have provided an overview of the information we do know about North Korea’s media structure.
All media in North Korea is owned and funded by the government. Most, but not all, of the media is considered propaganda, the state uses the media as a mouth piece to get their views and opinions to the people. This media structure leads to many of the stories being framed or bias. The media in North Korea has a strong effect on its people and for this reason the media shapes a lot of the citizens’ beliefs.
