  • Prime Minister Suga, Gender Equality and Rapport Speech: a Study of Speech Style
    IPRPD International Journal of Arts, Humanities & Social Science ISSN 2693-2547 (Print), 2693-2555 (Online) Volume 02; Issue no 06: June 08, 2021 Prime Minister Suga, Gender Equality and Rapport Speech: A Study of Speech Style Shoji Azuma 1 1 Department of World Languages and Cultures, University of Utah, USA Abstract Issues related to gender equality have been widely and globally discussed in settings such as politics, education, healthcare and the workplace, among others. In Japan, the Japanese government has been working very hard to increase the number of women involved in Japanese politics, with minimal progress to date. The present prime minister of Japan, Yoshihide Suga, has intentionally sought to bring attention to this issue. He has, for the first time, selected a female cabinet relations chief for his government. His appointment of a female to this post is unprecedented. Unfortunately, due to a recent ethical code violation by the newly appointed female appointee and role model of female leadership in Japan, he felt constrained to accept her resignation from the post. The present study explores Prime Minister Suga’s treatment of this gender-related issue by examining his personal interviews with the media and press reporters in his cabinet. The study finds that Suga falls short of adopting an emotive and rapport style of speech which in turn, fails to attract listeners’ and voters’ support. Keywords: Emotion, Gender, Rapport, Speech style, Japan 1. Introduction Since the post-war period, Japan has been trying to address the controversial issue of gender roles in Japanese society. One particular focus has targeted the state of women in politics and government at the national and local levels.

  • Japanese Agriculture: What Are the Keys to Its Growth?
    part 1 What does The Norinchukin Bank look like? Rethinking our Raison d’être Special Talk The Professional Perspective Opening 01 Article Japanese Agriculture: What are the Keys to its Growth? Last year, a major earthquake hit Kumamoto. Mr. Hitoshi Kinouchi, who started farming in Kumamoto in 1985 despite being brought up in Tokyo, has been running Kinouchi Farm, a tourist farm growing mainly strawberries, and was one of the people who suffered serious damage. Mr. Hayato Ishii, a journalist who knows a lot about agricultural policy, visited Mr. Kinouchi, who is trying to recover from the earthquake while continuing to train young agriculture workers on the farm where he worked for many years, and Ms. Chiaki Ino, who was trained there and became independent, at the farm in Aso, Kumamoto. Here is what was discussed about the challenges facing Japanese agriculture and requests for The Norinchukin Bank. Hayato Chiaki Hitoshi Ishii Ino Kinouchi Editorial Board Member and Young Farmer Representative Director and Editorial Writer, Kyodo News Chairman, Kinouchi Farm (Special Talk) Fear of Going Against Nature Discovered Through the Earthquake Ishii: I heard that you suffered serious damage in last year’s Kumamoto earthquake. I’d like to express my sympathy. Kinouchi: The strawberry field which is the pillar of the operation was destroyed leaving only the frames of the greenhouses. After that, the ground collapsed completely due to the heavy rain in the rainy season, and we lost 70 or 80% of the field. Ishii: From the plane, I could clearly see that despite it being the time for planting out rice, there were fields not filled with water.

  • A Multi-Agency Journalism Collaboration on Migration
    06.13.2017 MINDS GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT: A MULTI-AGENCY JOURNALISM COLLABORATION ON MIGRATION TEN NEWS AGENCIES HAVE JOINED IN A SPECIAL NEWS INVESTIGATION INTO MIGRANT SMUGGLING IN THE WAKE OF THE REFUGEE CRISIS SWEEPING EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA, ASIA PACIFIC AND THE AMERICAS. This is the first Global Spotlight under the auspices of the news agency business intelligence network, MINDS International. It exposes criminal networks preying on vulnerable families dislodged from their homes through war, persecution and poverty. The comprehensive body of work some six months in development, includes in-depth analysis of migrant smuggling's root causes, travel patterns and the social impact in the world's smuggling hotspots. It dives deep into the scarred communities in the Middle East war zones; from the Southern Sahara; in Europe and the Mediterranean; from South America to Mexico and the US; and across the treacherous waters throughout South East Asia. This is inspiring journalism from some of the world's most trusted news organisations. Each will provide the content from this project for their valued customers. AFP will move its own production in English, French and Spanish on its wires from Tuesday; the rest of the project will be available on AFP Forum in English. The global journalism initiative was launched on 10th anniversary of MINDS. “This is not about competition, revenue or brand building; this is about news people doing good globally,” said MINDS Executive Director Wolfgang Nedomansky. The participating news agencies: AAP – Australia, AFP – International, ANSA – Italy, APA – Austria, CTK - Czech Republic, DPA – Germany, EFE – Spain, LUSA – Portugal, SDA – Switzerland, STT – Finland.

  • NBC News' Tom Pettit 'Nelisec, Les Saw Oswald Shot by Verne Gay
    NBC News' Tom Pettit 'NeLisec, les Saw Oswald Shot By Verne Gay Tom Pettit, one of the premiere political reporters in TV news history, died yesterday following surgery . for kruptuked aorta, Pettit, 64, had undergone a kid- ney transplant some months ago but had suffered •from complications. Pettit was the only TV newsman who was on the scene when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby on Nov. 24, 1988. De- spite the chaos that ensued, Pettit's trademark clipped voice conveyed the details of the shooting without emotion • or strain. NBC News, which Pettit hadloined only a year • earlier, had the major scoop in the wake of the JFK assas- sination.. But Pettit's career went be- yond being in the right place at the right time. He also made an hour-long report on • chemical,and biological war- Photo fare which aired on the NBC Tom Pettit News magazine, "First 'rues- day" in 1969. The report led to changes in federal law. "He was above all a hell of a reporter," said Reuvom • Frank former NBC News president, who had ap- pointed Pettit an executive vice presdent in 1982. "I • •think he was one of the very first reporters who did it all on television. He never worked for a newspaper, but started out in a tiny station in Iowa that was so poor that whenever they sent him out on a story, they sent him out with a Polaroid." Frank added that "everybody has something that •they regret being remembered for," and for Pettit, that was the Oswald shooting.
