WHAT IS FPCJ?
- Log in and be the first with the news on Japan
Objectives and Activities:
The Foreign Press Center/Japan (FPCJ) plays an essential role in facilitating news gathering activities in Japan by organizing press briefings and tours, making practical arrangements for interviewing and filming, providing rich and up-to-date media resources through our website, “eFPCJ – 24-hour media assistance” and our original publications. It also organizes fellowship programs and events to give foreign journalists in-depth understanding of Japan and a chance to network with people in various fields in Japan. FPCJ acts not only as an information provider but as a mediator to link foreign media with Japanese corporations, governments, institutions and people.
The FPCJ was established in October 1976 as an independent, private and non-profit foundation with a basic fund provided by Nihon Shinbun Kyokai (the Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association) and former Keidanren (now Nippon Keidanren (the Japan Business Federation)). Operating funds come from government appropriations for contracted work and from contributions by supporting corporations and organizations.
