Unique in Japan
The Nikkei Weekly is the only English-language
newspaper in Japan specializing in Japanese
and Asian business and economic news,
and is published worldwide. The Nikkei Weekly
offers complete one-week coverage of all of
Japan’s economic and political news with
English language versions of articles from not
only Nikkei’s flagship paper, The Nikkei, but
also feature stories from its other trade publications, including The Nikkei Business Daily,
The Nikkei MJ and The Nikkei Veritas. It also
features in-depth reporting on news in other
Asian countries — particularly Chinese business information — through its foreign correspondent network.
Serves as a Business Partner
The Nikkei Weekly strives also to provide
high-quality English information on the latest
business trends as an aid to businesspeople
active in international markets. The Nikkei
Weekly readership consists primarily of ardent
Japan watchers, be they individuals or companies, and is the preferred English language
medium for local managers of foreign-based
firms, consultants, analysts, institutional
investors and journalists who wish to stay
informed on current details of the Japanese
business environment.
Become a Nikkei Reader
The Nikkei Weekly readership consists essentially of those who want to know what is being
written in The Nikkei, but who cannot read
Japanese. The Nikkei Weekly therefore provides the same quality of information in terms
of both editorial content and advertising as the
flagship Japanese language paper.
Foreword
The Nikkei Weekly is a weekly English-language
newspaper launched by the Nikkei in 1963 as the Japan
Economic Journal. It assumed the current name in 1991.
As Japan’s only English-language business paper, it has
been highly regarded by business people, government
agencies and educational institutions in Japan and
abroad over nearly half a century.
The Nikkei Weekly provides a selection of news
stories, originally run in a variety of Japanese-language
Nikkei newspapers, in up-to-date English. The Nikkei
gathers a wide range of economic news through its
worldwide network of reporters and support staff. It
then carefully reviews and deeply analyzes the news,
publishing the stories through various media, including
the morning and evening editions of its flagship Nikkei
newspaper, The Nikkei Business Daily, The Nikkei
Marketing Journal, The Nikkei Veritas and the newly
launched Nikkei Online Edition.
Taking advantage of its weekly publication, The
Nikkei Weekly carefully selects key stories from this
vast amount of information, providing adequate, in-depth
coverage of current events in Japan and the rest of Asia.
In its 32 tabloid-size pages, The Nikkei Weekly covers a wide range of topics from macro-economic trends
and corporate news to the latest fads in Japan, testifying
to the Nikkei’s extensive news-gathering capability.
Earlier this year, the newspaper underwent an overhaul,
as it added two new pages: The “Discover” section is
devoted to stories highlighting traditional aspects of
Japanese society, while the “Financial Business” section
focuses on Japan’s newly resurgent financial industry.
We believe The Nikkei Weekly is second to none in
its coverage of economic news in rapidly growing Asian
countries, not to mention, domestic business news. The
paper is also full of original contents, including insightful
opinion pieces written on diverse topics by noted economists and those offering advice to overseas readers doing
business with or in Japan.
A few special editions are published in a magazine
format every year, focusing on such trendy topics as
environmental protection and cutting-edge technologies.
The Nikkei is transmitting news across the globe, so that
company executives and government decision makers in
major countries can take advantage of its services.
Running a successful company has increasingly
come to depend on obtaining accurate and insightful
information quickly. We hope that you will find The
Nikkei Weekly useful in laying out your global corporate
strategies.
