| Description | North Korea's official radio and news agency has dropped the honorific "Dear Leader" from its reports on the country's leader, Kim Jong-il.
The report by Radiopress, a Japanese news agency that monitors North Korea's radio, follows news this week that portraits of the North Korean leader have been removed from homes and offices.
Analysts are debating whether Mr Kim is losing his grip on power, or, more likely, quietly downsizing his own personality cult. As the nation's propaganda chief in the 1970s, Mr Kim paved his way to power by raising his father, Kim Il-sung, to demigod status as founder of the Communist state. |
