Oh yes, for people of many nationalities it is fairly straightforward to get a visitor's visa for North Korea. You aren't allowed any time on your own while you're there though - you will be with a tour guide or "imprisoned" in your hotel at all times. For that reason, the tours are quite expensive.
South Koreans and Americans cannot usually get visas for North Korea. However, Americans are often allowed in for a short period of time during the "Arirang" games - the event at which NK shows off its dancing, athletics etc etc. They love showing off their huge "patriotic" crowds to the Americans.

only under very strict guidelines, and even then it's rare that people may enter. but you certainly couldn't go there for a holiday or to film a documentary for the news.
