Question from a reader:
I would like to know if there was a broadcast on the harassment issue involving Takashi Ishibashi and a female announcer from Fuji on the information live program “Miyane-ya.” Was there any report aired by the NTV network this Thursday?
Harassment Issues and Media Coverage
Recently, the harassment issue involving Takashi Ishibashi and a female announcer from
Fuji has become a hot topic. Many people seem curious about how this matter was covered on “Miyane-ya.” After receiving questions from readers, I decided to check today’s episode of “Miyane-ya.” Unfortunately, the main focus was on topics like Hirosue and Trump, with no mention of the harassment issue at all. Watching how the media covers such matters often leaves me puzzled. Despite being a socially significant theme, harassment issues can sometimes get buried under other news. Particularly in television programs that focus on ratings, sensational events and personalities tend to take precedence. On the same day, it seems that “Su-Matan,” produced by Yomiuri TV, featured the story alongside Masako Hasegawa in a sports newspaper article, highlighting the disparity in media coverage.
Moments of Laughter from Akidai’s President’s Talk
By the way, I couldn’t help but laugh at the story about Akidai’s president appearing live on “Miyane-ya,” then “Gogosuma,” and back to “Miyane-ya.” He has a captivating presence and speaking ability that draws you in when you see him on television. I remember watching him with a friend once, and I was impressed by his witty manner of speaking. It took me back to a time when we got so caught up in the excitement that we ended up snacking too much in front of the TV. Through such episodes, considering how the media reports and how viewers react is fascinating from legal and psychological perspectives. Harassment issues are societal problems, and the way the media chooses to cover them can significantly influence public perception.
