◇ Aiming for trust recovery

The Mainichi Shimbun changed the editing structure of the daily news everyday, and started again. I will apologize for the column "WaiWai" which was posted on the website from April, 2001 to the English letter paper from October 1989.

On June 21, Japan time (Japan time), we closed down the corner of this column and took steps to make it impossible to access past things. We are also requesting deletion to websites and blogs that reprint columns. The reason for that is that many of the columns I posted were not moderately moderate and judged to be inappropriate for disseminating to domestic and overseas.

"WaiWai" used the magazines etc. published in the country without obtaining consent. I translated and reproduced information which is obviously not a fact in English, and also inappropriate addition to some of the information. I kept running information that caused misunderstandings about Japan and Japanese, specific countries, occupations etc. for a long time.

It is an act of betraying the trust of readers who should not act as a news organization, I apologize again from the bottom of my heart for the inconvenience to many people. I'm really sorry.

On July 20th morning newspaper and the Mainichi Shimbun website, we apologized to the daily news every day and posted verification articles, but since then many people have been criticized and scolded by many people. I take great pride in your voice and will do my utmost to prevent such a situation from occurring in the future.
