Rodong Sinmun
The public received word of Jang's dismissal in the "Rodong Sinmun" on 12 December and were called to meetings to denounce Jang and pledge loyalty to Kim. Two days later, on 14 December, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) released a roster of six top officials appointed to a national committee in charge of organizing a state funeral for Kim Kuk-tae (a former Workers' Party official who recently died). The roster included the names of Jang's widow (Kim Jong-un's aunt), Kim Kyong-hui, and vice-premier, Ro Du-chol, indicating both survived the purge and remained in favor. KCNA and "Rodong Sinmun" began erasing references to Jang "as completely as possible", deleting some 100,000 and 20,000 news items from their websites, respectively.
