A controversy over off-the-record remarks advocating nuclear weapons exposes deep divisions in Japan’s media and raises questions about journalistic ethics, source protection and democratic debate. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/30/japan/the-meaning-of-record-in-japan/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #media #journalism #sanaetakaichi #nuclearweapons #defense #article9 #constitution

Task for today: Looking over my donations for the year to make sure I didn't miss anything.
And I just made a donation to the Associated Press (whose reporting I read all the time) — the ones who stood up to Trump and said it's the Gulf of Mexico, not the Gulf of America.
And its stylebook hasn't back down on the words it uses regarding immigration:
"Except in direct quotations essential to the story, use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant.
Acceptable variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission. For people: immigrants lacking permanent legal status.
"Do not use the terms alien, unauthorized immigrant, irregular migrant, an illegal, illegals or undocumented (except when quoting people or government documents that use these terms). Many immigrants have some sort of documents, but not the necessary ones."

My PTSD stems from my 6 yrs as a journalist. I was a emergency beat reporter and saw some gnarly things. Hard to sake 18 years later. #PTSD #Journalism #PoliceBeatReporter

"Approximately 40 independent media organizations have lost banking access since 2020."

What appeared to be a “60 Minutes” report on a Salvadoran mega prison housing U.S.-deported migrants spread online on Monday, a day after CBS News pulled the segment prior to its scheduled Sunday broadcast. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/23/world/politics/cbs-pulls-salvador-prison-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #cbs #us #journalism #donaldtrump #immigration
I daydream of publishing a hyperlocal news source, but if it's too location-specific, it reveals where I live. Not sure how to keep the focus tight and control my ambitions while preserving my privacy. Going for a larger geographic area and limiting the subject matter might be an easier way to keep the scope small, but I don't want to tie my hands in terms of what I cover.
Any suggestions? Shitposts and pooptoots welcome, as well as serious responses.
