| | Amazon.com: A Public Betrayed: An Inside Look at Japanese Media Atrocities and Their Warnings to the West: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Here we find that the Japanese media is built around an unusual system of press clubs, which foment severe collusion between government sources and unquestioning reporters, and huge-selling weekly newsmagazines that offer a bizarre mix of investigative reporting, sensationalism, and titillation. |
 | | US media culture is still a long way from Japan's, but the parallels are ominous, and the implications for our democracy are perilous. |
 | | This is a "first" thorough investigation on Japanfs weekly magazine; and for sure, one of the "best" on Japanese media criticisms; sharp and informative study, a collaboration of American and Japanese authors: Adam Gamble, a sharp investigative reporter from New England, and Professor Takesato Watanabe, a Japan's foremost media critic. |
