Charge into the editorial department of the monthly magazine "Saizo" that deals with emerging religion and back information of the entertainment world
In the September issue to be released on the 18th tomorrow, the monthly magazine "100" will be memorableSaizoI went to the editorial department of the interview for the interview.
Posted many items in the industry taboo and some facts that do not appear in TV and newspapers etc. Which monthly comprehensive information magazine "Saizo" is made in the workplace, I feel like there are complaints and pressure Talking about pointsInfobahn CorporationI was asked to Mr. Ken Kiyoshi of editor in chizai editorial department.
What kind of magazine is "Saizo"?
GIGAZINE (hereinafter abbreviated as G):
On the cover of Saizo, exciting catch phrases such as "taboo" and "backside" are lined up, but what kind of group are you targeting as a magazine target?
Jobai (hereinafter abbreviated as):
I do not consider it as a layer that can be divided by age, sex or generation. I am making it for those who want to know the truth of the topics dealt with in the mass media, niche information that is not on the mass media. Although there are places covered with the Internet, I want to differentiate it from the net in the place where I spend time spending time planning and interviewing.
G:
Is it the same style since the early days?
揖:
Well, it has not changed much. However, the culture color might have been a little stronger, but as a point of view there was criticism from television from the beginning. I am now drawing information that does not come out on television by interviewing the stakeholders, but in the early days I did not have the coverage as in the past, so I was competing in the project.
G:
How did you get into the line of mass media criticism?
揖:
When I launched it I tried to do something that the existing media did not do because I wanted to make a magazine I had never had before. I made a collection of things that each editor wants to write though I have not done it on television or my old magazines. So, different editors have different colors for each project. I was in charge of doing ridiculing of TV and entertainment relations from the very beginning. Because the publisher was a company launched from scratch, I did not have a relationship with some sort of entertainment production, I could write because there is no sharpness. In my sense, I think that it is close to a news blog that individuals and independent companies are doing.
Cover of the September issue that will become the 100th memorial.
Until the creation of article of Saizo ◆
G:
How do you get the story of the story?
揖:
For example, if you want to do a geek special feature, I will try to talk to a lighter who is familiar with geeks and a person at the work site who is engaged in the industry. Because it is better to talk directly with the stakeholders.
G:
Many scandal-like contents are taken up, but will not complaints come?
揖:
Direct complaints rarely come, but in the entertainment context, there are some gloomy things, such as ignoring coverage offers or not being placed in a press conference, even without protests. However, religious relations and major entertainment productions, the major media do not put too much information. If we only write facts and commentaries as we do, it rarely comes to complaints. But TV is especially naughty and taboo too much.
G:
How is the state of the editing meeting?
揖:
First, decide the theme of the special feature. Then, while listening various projects according to the theme, I chose as interesting things, unique things and meanings as doing as a rhinestone, from which the editor gathers specific concrete story in a few days. It is a feeling that we get around 10 people for one person together with the part actually earned with the feet and the part to think on the desk, and we pick out from there. In the end one person will be in charge of three to four for the feature. Besides, because there are culture page, news page, monthly interview and various series planning, it is busy enough that there are editors who have hematuria, stress spreading or cutting hemorrhoids although they are young.
G:
I see. Is the project itself issued only by the editor?
揖:
Sometimes an editor speaks to each writer. As a writer who writes regularly every time, I heard that "I thought of something like this though I thought about something," or sometimes they asked me to introduce strong writers and industry stakeholders in a specific field, and an unexpected project It goes up, there are times when you get in.
G:
Is there an Ace editorial member who supports the Saisei editorial department?
揖:
It depends on the theme. If it is otaku-related, it is an editor who is similar to Yasunori Oda who often appears on the magazine called Y-kun. Every time, nature and human beings strong in that field are the center. Because there are four people specializing, it will be painful if someone lacks it.
G:
There is a signature "words by cyzo", but who is writing it?
揖:
That is written by the editor. In addition, there are cases where the editor gives out his real name or writes with a pen name. There are times when it seems that there are a lot of staff (laugh), there are occasions when it is necessary to distinguish between signatures depending on the information sources.
G:
What is the circulation circle and the number of sold copies?
揖:
(Nominal) Issued number of copies is 120 thousand copies, actual sales are 6 to 70%. I am saved because there are quite a lot of fixed readers who always subscribe. In addition to that, people who responded to different theme different subjects will feel plus. When Johnny's feature something is done, I usually buy teenage girls who never buy them. A person with such a strong feeling, "There is a lot of hot protests such as" Do not write lazy! "
G:
Do you have anything you would like to do to improve your current Saizo?
揖:
Speaking of the journal itself, I would like to broaden the frontiers for readers a little more. Even now I use a woman as a cover to make it feel bright, but weekly magazines want to make it easier for people who do not want to read because there is a scanless image. Although there are a lot of information that does not come to mass media, it is uncomfortable that public opinion and people's values are formed only by limited information on television and newspapers. Whether it is more interesting to sift through and choose information on your own and live with your own opinion. Once again, there is a high ambition to enlighten society (laugh).
People in the Saisei editorial department
G:
What kind of people are getting employed in the Saisei editorial department?
揖:
I guess there are many people who were readers of Saiseau. Or, I think that it is all. Well, it will not come if you do not know Saiseau. Some people came by public recruitment, others introduced by occasion as a job, and some work part-time at Saizo since college students and after graduation are outsourced. Everyone reads Saizo and he likes Saizo in common.
G:
Could you tell me the schedule of the average editorial staff of the day?
揖:
I basically come from 9 or 10 o'clock, but there are no other editors who came at 10 o'clock. However, it will be available from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock except in case you go straight to the interview, so it may be faster than other editorial departments. When you come to the company, I first go to office work, e-mail check, and since the 1 to 10 days after the submission has finished, it is a time for gathering stuff, so I will take an appointment and go to see people after evening. From the beginning of the manuscript entry to the end of that it will take more than 10 days to stay in the company and sometimes stay.
G:
How many staff are there?
揖:
There are four employees, including me, as editors. After that there are two people outsourced. The entrusted person is young in the early twenties, and the generations are split considerably for every employee as about 30 years old. Also, the designers are in the company.
G:
How about food related, such as lunch, dinner, snack at rest?
揖:
Depending on the time, I have lots of convenience stores for lunch. I have work to go late at night, so I go to a beef bowl or a noodle shop like dinner for 24 hours. Young editors are eating a lot and know the store well. At the time of submission, landscapes of beautiful Japanese editing department, such as buying rare crackers and sharing with nobody at midnight, will be expanded. The maker to buy is decided and I always buy a large bag containing three kinds of rice crackers of Kameda confectionery.
G:
Are there any boasts or unusual events etc in working at the Saisei editorial department?
揖:
The former editor-in-chief, the original editor-in-chief, our chairperson likes events, for example, we have invited a professional music industry person from the outside as a judge and played karaoke battle against other departments and others. Everyone in the Saisei editorial department has a feeling that they are being hurt so much (laugh). Since the timing of the event will come soon after the submission, as I am busy, I have to go practice. Everyone is dissatisfied in advance. But in the production, all the employees genuinely gaining excitement. I myself also sang Ozaki Yutaka while I know it. Everyone gets dangerous tension. Because the feeling of wanting to entertain people is the basis (laugh).
One scene of karaoke battle. Costumes are not ordinary how to enter into a cow.
Moreover, everyone is so tense that tension.
G:
Do you have any troublesome episodes or legendary episodes while sending out Saizo every year?
揖:
Even now I am still doing it, but shortly after launching, I wrote that there is live ammunition between a major entertainment production company and a TV station, that is, cash is flying around, I was disliked by a professional entertainment professional and affiliated entertainment professionals . As the deadline has come and it has become impossible to use photographs of already taken talent, I forced another picture (1 cut of Photolupo at the Theater Theater). The talent itself was a different office at all but it seems that a major entertainment professional said "Do not cooperate with Saizo." At that time I thought that 'There really is such a thing.' It is an unforgettable event.
This is a page that suddenly became an image replacement.
G:
Please tell us the future policies and new developments such as Kosori.
揖:
I am preparing to launch a news site that delivers daily news from a pizza point of view. Because it seems that the information which makes sense if it can not be put on in real time, such as "scandal comes out tomorrow. I would like to launch a site that can send daily news with high live feelings that can be forgotten after a month.
G:
Thank you for taking the time today while I was busy.
