How Will the Media Report on the Imperial Succession? (The Asahi Shimbun Senior Staff Writer Dr. Eiichi Miyashiro)
post date : 2019.04.03
With the current emperor abdicating on April 30 and the new emperor succeeding him on May 1, the details of the ceremonies involved in the imperial succession have been made public. How are these ceremonies, which take place only once every several decades, reported to the public through the Japanese media? Based on past examples, it is expected that most of these imperial ceremonies will be covered with pool reporting. With a limited number of opportunities, what will the media focus on in their attempt to cover the end of one era and the start of a new one?
The FPCJ has invited Dr. Eiichi Miyashiro, Senior Staff Writer at the Asahi Shimbun and an expert on history who has written many articles about the Imperial Household, to speak about this subject.
