Talk:Chunichi Shimbun

Missionality?

I am not sure why we have this article. I can't see what it is doing for us.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 12:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

I can see how it could maybe be relevant to our mission. But at the same time, I can see how it's probably not really our thing either. So it's about a newspaper that has a political slant. Most newspapers do. That's nothing special. And I suppose there should be really something quite special about any newspaper that gets an article here.

And I can say that, when I lived in Japan, I used to regularly read 'the English-language sister newspapers of the Ypmiuri Shimbun and the Asahi Shimbun, two of the many red links in this article, and there was nothing very special (or overtly political) about those papers at all.Spud (talk) 13:06, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

As you say - most newspapers come at things from one political angle or another. So the mere fact that a paper has a political stance would mean that every local and national rag in the world could have a page. Now, if they spent their time promoting homeopathy and obvious stupidity or alternatively had a special liking for critical thinking then I'd be all for an article. But otherwise I'd say they need some additional justification.Bob^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 14:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

@Bob M Well said. I'm nominating this for deletion. Spud (talk) 03:29, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I want to restore the article

The Chunichi Shimbun is the third major newspaper after the Yomiuri Shimbun and Asahi Shimbun, and has a great influence even though it is a local newspaper. Even if it is said that it is a local newspaper, it is extremely vast and covers everything from Nagoya to Tokyo.

The Chunichi Shimbun (Tokyo Shimbun) is read all over Japan through the Internet.

Nagoya-based newspaper has a highly influential newspaper that owns the professional baseball team Chunichi Dragons (the Yomiuri Giants, which owns the baseball team in other companies in the same industry).

Tokyo Metropolitan Television (TOKYO MX), an independent television station funded by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, is under its umbrella.

It is also one of Japan's leading left-wing media and has been read by many domestic leftists. Politically, he supports the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party.--Karasawa Takahiro (talk) 01:28, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
