MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN JAPAN

Historically distributing more than one copy per household, the national media market maintains exceptional circulation figures despite recent print declines. The industry is dominated by national dailies led by Yomiuri Shimbun, a conservative broadsheet holding the world's largest readership. Its primary competitor is Asahi Shimbun, recognized for its centre-left editorial stance. Financial reporting is anchored by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, while Mainichi Shimbun operates as a centrist publication dating to 1872. Alongside these giants, strong regional broadsheets publish locally, and English-language papers like The Japan Times serve international readers.
