Media Meltdown: Exposing Japan's TV Disgrace
Manage episode 431143471 series 3563698
In this podcast episode, we discuss the persistent lack of integrity in Japanese TV media and the public's growing demand for fundamental change.
We highlight three recent incidents that illustrate the media's failure to fulfill its societal role: the cover-up of Johnny & Associates founder's lifelong sex scandal, the unethical production of a TV drama leading to an artist's suicide, and the paparazzi-like reporting of Shohei Ohtani and Major League Baseball.
The increasing public outcry for change, coupled with declining TV viewership, underscores the need for better media practices in Japan.
