Japanese nuclear disaster and Japanese press coverage — [TRUTH SOCIOLOGY]

In response to Marginal Revolution. Here’s a French journalist covering the events in Japan. My translation.

I got rapidly aware that information is blocked. It is not possible to assist to press conferences or to get accredited. And our Japanese colleagues are not used to asking disturbing questions… –if ever they ask questions. It is not censorship, but it is a state of mind that is truly surprising for us… In Japan, there are plenty of non-written rules that everybody applies.

I understand that a Japanese journalist is supposed to present things a certain way. All is in the way of asking a question. If I ask to some Japanese folks whether they are afraid, they blush and answer “no”. Now, if I ask them whether they are worried, they answer “yes”. Generally speaking, their government don’t lie to them.
