North Korea has been pushing for diverse propaganda campaigns in the run-up to the second anniversary of the death of leader Kim Jong-il.

Kim Jong-il, predecessor and father of the North’s current leader Kim Jong-un, died of a heart attack on Dec. 17, 2011 on his way to a field guidance event, the communist country announced. He ruled the country for 17 years.

In its Sunday edition, the Rodong Sinmun published articles and large pictures of the late leader to promote his feats and to inspire a sense of loyalty among the people. The newspaper is the organ of the Workers’ Party of (North) Korea, monitored in Seoul. (Yonhap News)
