Uriminzokkiri () was a North Korean state-controlled news website, much of whose content was syndicated from other news groups within the country, such as KCNA. Aside from on their own website, Uriminzokkiri also distributed information over YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, Youku and Instagram until they had deleted their social media presence.

==Etymology== The Uriminzokkiri website offered no official English translation of its name. The term can be broken down into uri, meaning "we", "our", or "collective self"; minjok, meaning "people", "nation", or in this case simply "Koreans"; and , meaning "with", "between", "together", or "among", in some cases with an exclusionary nuance, presumably intended in this case to convey the notion that Korean issues are to be solved by the Koreans themselves and not third parties or superpowers. The translation "on our own as a nation" has been used by a major newspaper. A relatively literal translation would yield "Our People (or Peoples) Together/As One", "Bringing Our Nation(s) Together", or "We the [Korean] People". A less literal translation incorporating the exclusionary nuance of might yield "Just Us Koreans".
