At one point Reporters Without Borders gave Eritrea a worse press freedom score than North Korea. I've never been able to find out how they managed that one.

I think it would be a lot harder to do press suppression in Eritrea than North Korea. North Korea only has two land borders and one of which is heavily fortified. Eritrea has three relatively wide land borders. There's ongoing border disputes with Ethiopia but still I imagine it's a lot easier to cross than the DMZ. Then there's the already mentioned uncensored internet. Yeah they can toss journalists in prison all day long but it doesn't seem like they have anywhere near the capacity to coerce their citizens as the Norks.
