Here are three sites covering issues pertaining to Korea, in some cases specifically North Korea. One of them, koreawatch.org, appears to be down, but I had just looked at it a few weeks ago and it didn't show signs of going away -- hmmm. Please note that I am not advocating the perspectives of any of these sites; just starting a collection. If you know of any other English-language Korea-oriented websites that are still actively updated, please send them along. Many, but not all, of these links come from world-newspapers.com, which has pages of links for both North and South Korea.
Human Rights Watch: Democratic Republic of Korea
koreawatch.org (temporarily down)
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK (official organ)
Lonely Planet Guide to North Korea (wtf!?)
North Korea Daily (aggregated North Korea news from international sources)

I'm living in Korea now and although I (http://www10.brinkster.com/invisibleworm/) don't focus on Korea on a daily basis I certainly try to keep on top of any major developments. Also check out:
