Founded in 1879, champion of Japanese pacifism since the Second World War, the “Journal du Soleil-Levant” is a veritable institution. Three thousand journalists, spread over 300 national offices and 30 abroad, oversee the collection of information.
For a Japanese intellectual, to write in theAsahi Shimbun is a consecration. Founded in 1879, in Osaka, it was first a popular daily. After having been the defender of democracy, he was, like all his colleagues, subservient to military power during the Second World War. The Asahi group is present in all media sectors (radio, television, publishing) and publishes numerous newspapers.
The site, which only includes a small part of the articles from the paper edition, prefers to focus on original content made up of brief information that is constantly updated and current issues. To consult the archives of the daily newspaper and those of other titles of the group such as AERA or Shukan Asahi, you have to subscribe.
