Written by a longtime resident of Japan, Politics and the News
Media in Japan describes and analyzes political communication in
Japan with a particular focus on the relationship between the news
media and politicians. In this pioneering work, Ofer Feldman shows
how the close connection between reporters and members of the
Japanese National Diet influences the coverage of politics in the
media and how the news media and reporters function as information
sources for Diet members. The author discusses the importance of
the national dailies in Japanese political life; reporters' work
patterns and their formal and informal interaction with political
news sources; the objectives reporters and politicians have
vis-Ã -vis one another; and how Japanese cultural factors
affect the role reporters play in politics. This volume fills a
serious gap in the literature on the Japanese media and its role in
the political system by focusing on the structure and process of
news-gathering by Japanese reporters. It is the first work based on
a survey of rank-and-file members of the Japanese National Diet;
newsmen and editors of national and local newspapers, news
agencies, and broadcast media; political party officials; and
secretaries to Diet members. It will appeal especially to those
interested in comparative politics, comparative mass communication,
and Japanese studies.
