読売新聞は1874年に創立された質の高い新聞です。
そんな新聞に・・・なんで私たちが載っているの!?



This report comments on our visit to the Osaka offices this week which was followed by a presentation from Shin Sato san the Managing Editor of the paper and a lively question and answer session. There are actually 3 versions of the newspaper based at Tokyo, Osaka and Seibu and this cutting is from the Osaka copy, but neverthess about 2-3 million people now know how old I am!

The Group also own the Yomiuri Giants baseball team in Tokyo.

There is a daily English language version of the newspaper which reports on world news in collaboration with the Guardian and the Times, and other major newspapers around the world.

In addition to world news, local interest has focused on such things as;

* the latest death sentence which was passed for the murder of a mother and baby;
* should the Self Defence Force be increased to counter a massive growth in defence spending by China;
* there is no butter available in Tokyo;
* concerns over the availability and price of oil and food

...so we didn`t grab all the headlines then!
