Japan Media Review has a great interview with Mainichi Shimbun reporter, Tomoko Ohji, who won the most prestigious Japanese reporter’s award two years running. She’s also the first female winner of the award.
Tomoko Ohji talks about how she found out the information at the center of her award-winning reports (essentially freedom-of-information requests) on governmental misuse of personal information. She also speaks about female representation in media and newspapers and how newspaper companies are still severly biased towards men and against women.
