Japanese blogosphere: 'Will the Net Kill Newspapers'

Postby Taro Toporific » Fri Oct 22, 2004 11:58 am

Media Scandals Stir Up Japanese Blogosphere Discussions on Ethics
-- As major media players NHK and The Asahi Shimbun take heat for lapses in professional conduct, journalists-turned-bloggers take the ethics debate online. Such media bloggers are becoming increasingly outspoken in discussions of their profession.--
Japan Media Review / by Bruce Rutledge, 2004-10-21... swirl of criticism is being fueled by a vibrant discussion of journalism in the Japanese blogosphere. Blogs such as Will the Net Kill Newspapers? by Jiji Press senior journalist Tsuruaki Yukawa and Takeshi Kimura's Weekly! are adding a new twist to discussions of journalism in Japan....
....Livedoor's Horie has upped the ante with plans to launch a newsroom of his own in November. The newsroom staff of about 40 will write, edit and post news on the Livedoor Internet portal while also building up a network of citizen journalists. The company said it "hopes to start a new wave in existing journalism by providing a variety of news contents that major mass media companies do not have room for."
How will major media outlets respond? Mayama, whose next novel (tentatively titled "Virtual Collapse") takes on the TV industry, thinks they've grown too tame for their own good.

Sounds to me like we'll have an FN site (for the clueless that would be FuckedNihonjin)... like what we have here but minus are the incredulous speculation and perhaps some answers (what ever happened to the two naked young dudes who plunged from the hotel?)... combine that with the sensational adventures of Masamania (those who don't know can do a search within FG... I'm subscribed to his RSS and love it) and the questionable(?) digressions of Marvin... ya got competition.
