Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, May 5 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Wednesday dedicates an article to the 30th anniversary of the historic work of leader Kim Jong Il published on May 7, Juche 63 (1974). Comprehensively clarified in the work are principled tasks to be fulfilled by the media of the Workers' Party of Korea to carry out its duty and discharge its role as a mighty ideological weapon greatly instrumental in modeling the whole society on the Juche idea, the article says, and goes on:
    The media of the WPK firmly ensured the succession to the leadership of the WPK and the Korean revolution in the 1970s, thus making a great contribution to laying an organizational and ideological foundation of the WPK on which it can successfully accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche pioneered by President Kim Il Sung generation after generation.
    They have also played the role of a pace-setter in transforming man, nature and society as required by the Juche idea under the banner of modeling the whole society on the Juche idea and making the loud beating of the drum of the revolution resound on all fronts of socialist construction for the last scores of years.
    They have demonstrated their tremendous might as a powerful ideological weapon of the WPK in carrying out the revolutionary cause of Songun for the last decade.
    It was thanks to the contingent of loyal journalists and mediapersons who have shared their destiny with the WPK that the Korean people could have overcome manifold difficulties in those days of ordeal with the help of an ideological and mental pabulum, which even millions of tons of rice can never substitute for, and could have emerged victorious in the Songun revolution closely rallied around the headquarters of the revolution.
    The media of the WPK serve as the strongest weapon in the confrontation with the enemies today when a war without gunfire is fought against the U.S. imperialists, the article says, calling on all the mediapersons to arm all the servicepersons and people with the anti-imperialist and anti-U.S. class consciousness and decisively foil the enemies' crafty ideological and cultural poisoning, pressure and psychological warfare.
