A Public Betrayed Japanese Media Atrocities

A Public Betrayed An Inside Look at Japanese Media Atrocities and Their Warnings to the West Hardback Book with Dust Jacket by Adam Gamble & Takesato Watanabe Foreword by Ellis S. Krauss Over 440 pages Copyright © 2004 by Adam Gamble " " "Media Atrocities" is exactly the noun to use. The authors focus not on physical, military atrocities, but on the equivalent thing that is being done with Japanese news reporting-mangling, suffocating, killing the truth! Atrocious indeed! This is a marvelously illustrated, in-depth piece of research that is both engagingly written and hard-hitting in its message. A great read. " - IVAN P. HALL, Japan historian and author " " Here is the quintessential example of a people betrayed through the corruption of the very news media that ought to be championing their causes. *A Public Betrayed* exposes deceptions, lies, and abuses of power in Japan that have led to such profound degrees of misunderstanding, confusion, and suffering that they have inspired the phrase "media atrocities." " " Key examples include: Vilifying innocent victims of terrorist attacks Denying the Holocaust and supporting anti-Semitism Smearing a prominent Buddhist leader Whitewashing and denying one of history's worst war crimes, the Nanjing Massacre Defaming Second World War Japanese military sex slaves or "comfort women" " " Thorough, thoughtful, and provocative, this book lays bare the mechanisms and motivations behind these sobering abuses. And as the examples show, the very factors that have contributed to such injustices in Japan have become increasingly predominant in the news-media sectors of the West- factors such as extreme industry consolidation, the growth of nationalism, intense commercialism, and the erosion of media ethics. The lessons for the rest of the free world could be neither more profound nor more relevant. Now is the time to understand Japan and its media atrocities. " Contents includes: " Foreword Note on Language Introduction: THE VIOLENCE OF LIES Chapter 1: THE JAPANESE SYSTEM OF GOVERANCE Chapter 2: JAPAN'S CORRUPT NEWS MEDIA Chapter 3: JAPANESE WEEKLY NEWSMAGAZINES Chapter 4: TERRORIZING VICTIMS OF TERRORISM Chapter 5: ANTI-SEMITISM IN A COUNTRY WITHOUT JEWS Chapter 6: SMEARING A BUDDHIST LEADER Chapter 7: WHITEWASHING THE NANJING MASSACRE AND ATTACKING A GENUINE JOURNALIST Chapter 8: ATTACKING FORMER SEX SLAVES: A SECOND RAPE Chapter 9: THE SUN ALSO RISES Acknowledgments Appendix A Appendix B Appendix C Appendix D Appendix E Notes Selected Bibliography Index " Both the book and dust jacket are in excellent condition with only very minor wear.
