North Korea publishes photos of Kim Jong Un - why do rumours of his death keep coming back?
North Korean state media has published photos of the dictator with his daughter after the unsubstantiated rumour spread.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around North Korea publishing new photos of Kim Jong Un in response to death rumours. BBC News foregrounds the rumours themselves and asks why they keep returning, while ABC News emphasizes the image release after reports that he had fallen into a coma and died; that coma and brain hemorrhage detail appears only in ABC's extract.
