What We Are Seeking

Useful information, clearly presented

01

Stories

Send original leads about people, places, policy, business, science, culture, travel or daily life in Japan. Tell us what happened, where and when—and how you know.

02

Press Releases

Include the organization name, release date, a responsible contact, source links and publication-ready images only when you have permission to share them.

03

Corrections

Link to the page, identify the exact passage, explain the issue and attach reliable supporting evidence. We distinguish factual corrections from disputes of interpretation.

04

Ideas

Pitch an interview, investigation, local dispatch, data project, historical feature or visual story. A focused question and a realistic reporting path are especially helpful.

05

Sponsors

We welcome conversations with organizations that value serious coverage of Japan. Sponsorship never guarantees coverage, favorable treatment or control of editorial conclusions.

06

How to Submit

Email is best. Use a specific subject line, put the essential facts in the message and share accessible source links. Large or unsolicited attachments may not be opened.

Before You Send

A short checklist helps us assess your message

  1. Use a precise subject line. Examples: “Correction: article title,” “Press release: organization and date,” or “Story lead: place and topic.”
  2. Identify yourself. Include your name, organization and relationship to the subject when relevant.
  3. Give the essentials. State what happened, where, when and why it matters.
  4. Link to evidence. Prefer original documents, official records and direct source material.
  5. Explain rights. State who owns submitted text, photographs or video and what use is permitted.
  6. Protect privacy. Do not send passwords, banking data, medical records or unnecessary personal information.
Sending material does not create a confidential relationship or guarantee a reply, assignment or publication. If a source requires special handling, say so before sharing sensitive details.

Newsroom Standards

What you can expect from us

Attribution

We aim to identify original sources and distinguish reporting, analysis and editorial illustration.

Corrections

Specific, well-supported correction requests receive serious review. Material changes should be made transparently.

AI Images

AI-assisted images are editorial illustrations—not documentary photographs—and should be presented in context.

Independence

Advertising and sponsorship do not purchase favorable coverage or determine editorial conclusions.

Privacy

Share only information needed for the inquiry. We may retain correspondence for editorial and administrative purposes.

Response Time

We review relevant messages, but volume and editorial priorities mean that an individual reply cannot be guaranteed.
