    Volume 19 | Issue 12 | Number 2 | Article ID 5604 | Jun 15, 2021 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Imperial Japanese Propaganda and the Founding of The Japan Times 1897-1904 Alexander Rotard Abstract: Founded in 1897 as a semi-official government organ by Zumoto Motosada with the support of Itō Hirobumi and Fukuzawa Yukichi, The Japan Times played an essential role, as the first English-language newspaper to be edited by Japanese, in shaping Western understandings of Japan and Japanese modernisation in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The Japan Times framed Japanese ‘modernisation’ in the language of Western civilisation, thus facilitating Japan’s rapprochement with the Western Powers (particularly with Great Britain) in the late 19th century by presenting Japan as a ‘civilised’ (i.e., Western) nation-state. The paper played an equally important role in manipulating Western public discourses in favour of Japan’s expansionist ambitions in Asia by framing justifications for Japanese foreign policy in concepts of Western civilisation. Keywords: Meiji-era Japanese propaganda, Zumoto Motosada, founder of The Japan Times1 The Japan Times, Zumoto Motosada, Japanese Imperialism, Anglo-Japanese rapprochement, colonisation of Korea. Introduction . Despite The Japan Times’ critical role as a Japanese Government propaganda organ, the paper has been greatly understudied in both the Japanese and English literature. Japanese- language studies of The Japan Times and Zumoto Motosada exist in small number2 but thorough research into The Japan Times’ role as a promoter of Meiji Government propaganda 1 19 | 12 | 2 APJ | JF has yet to be undertaken in English orthe Korean press has been well examined by Japanese.

  • An Analysis of Two Newspaper Articles in the Aftermath of the 2011 Japanese Tsunami
    An analysis of two newspaper articles in the aftermath of the 2011 Japanese Tsunami Bruce Hope Assignment submitted for Master of Arts in TESOL July 2011 Written Discourse WD/11/04 Choose two news/current affairs texts, one from English-speaking media (e.g. A British or American TV news report, an Australian newspaper, etc.) and the other from a media outlet in another country/language, but both dealing with the same 'global' events (e.g., wars, disasters, etc..). Critically discuss the two texts using a CDA approach (unit 8). You should reach conclusions as to how the two texts are similar or different in some or all of the following: • the differences in the representation of events and in relations with the intended audience; • the ways ‘news values’ influence the production of news; • the underlying system of values/ideologies which shapes each report; • implicit and explicit evaluations conveyed by the texts; • the ways social actors are represented; • the ways different linguistic codes represent the same events; • the visual illustrations that accompany the texts – are they the same or different and the implications of the choices.

  • Representations of Zainichi Koreans in Japanese Media 43 DOI: 10.1515/Ijas-2015-0003
    ARVYDAS KUMPIS. Representations of Zainichi Koreans in Japanese Media 43 DOI: 10.1515/ijas-2015-0003 ARVYDAS KUMPIS VYTAUTAS MAGNUS UNIVERSITY Representations of Zainichi Koreans in Japanese Media: The Case of The Japan Times 2000–2014 Abstract: Zainichi Koreans are Korean nationals, permanently living in Japan without holding Japanese citizenship. Their living conditions there have been diffi cult from the very beginning, dating back to 1910. Since then, various myths and stereotypes were created about Zainichi Koreans. What is more interesting, media has been playing an important role in spreading information about them and creating a specifi c image about this ethnic minority in Japan. In order to fi nd out what image of Zainichi Koreans is being created nowadays, articles in Japanese internet news website The Japan Times were used while accomplishing a discourse analysis. Santrauka: ‘Zainichi’ [sk. dzainiči] korėjiečiai yra Pietų arba Šiaurės Korėjos piliečiai, gyvenantys Japonijoje nuolatinių rezidentų teisėmis. Šis statusas jiems dažnai kelia įvairių sunkumų. Žiūrint iš istorinės perspektyvos, Zainichi korėjiečiai susiduria su sunkumais nuo pat jų migracijos į Japoniją pradžios, nuo 1910 m. Nuo tada apie Zainichi korėjiečius buvo kuriami įvairūs mitai, vadovaujamasi stereotipais bei išankstine (neretai klaidinga) nuomone. Nuo tada, kai žiniasklaida tapo visuotinai prieinama bei populiari, jos vaidmuo įvaizdžių kūrime tapo vienu svarbiausiu. XX a. antroje pusėje buvo pradėta vengti tautinių mažumų tematikos Japonijos spaudoje, tačiau pastaruoju metu ši tendencija nyksta. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjami dabartinėje Japonijos žiniasklaidoje pateikiami Zainichi korėjiečių įvaizdžiai, jų pateikimo ypatybės bei tendencijos. Keywords: Zainichi Koreans, media analysis, images. Introduction Traditional or paper version of media is prevailing in Japan.
