Mainichi Daily News Begins Self-Censorship
In a long anticipated move, Japan’s Mainichi Daily News in English has imposed self-censorship joining the likes of Japan Times and Japantoday, the establishment controlled outlets. Regular visitors to Japanifik may have noticed that the links posted on this blog, pointing to stories published in Mainichi Daily, are no longer active. This is because Mainichi have deleted any story that might be deemed even remotely embarrassing to the “empire” including news of child rape by government employees, murder and suicide.
