Appendix

Unique Positioning of Newspapers in JapanThe Japanese newspaper market has a number of distinguishing characteristics. Not only do newspapers in Japan boast the largest circulation in the world and offer a wealth of information, they also have clear advantages over other advertising media.

Newspapers in JapanAccording to the 2009 issue of WAN (World Press Trends), Japan had the largest total

number of newspapers issued on a daily basis. Japan also had the largest number of

newspapers per 1,000 people among the major industrialized countries. Another special

characteristic of Japan’s newspapers is the significantly high number of copies per paper, as

shown by the number of national daily newspapers with circulations in the millions on the

next page.

Morning and Afternoon EditionsUnlike national daily newspapers published in the U.S., Europe and other countries, most

Japanese dailies—like the Nikkei—have morning and afternoon editions. In today’s fast

changing world, these meet readers’ needs for the very latest news coverage.

The first printing of the Nikkei afternoon edition is delivered to securities companies

at around 12:30 p.m., with copies reaching other business sectors at 3:30–4:00 p.m. and

suburban households at around 5:00 p.m.

Advertising in NewspapersNewspaper advertising accounts for 12.4 percent of the total advertising expenditure in

Japan. This rate is the highest among print media.

The Nikkei is known as the most effective medium for disseminating corporate brand,

corporate social responsibility (CSR), and investor relations advertising, and is considered a

High Subscription RateJapan has a high newspaper subscription rate due to its efficient home-delivery system, with 95 percent of

papers being delivered in this way. Further contributing factors include Japan’s very high literacy rate and the

general enthusiasm for reading newspapers on a daily basis.

Reading HabitsA comparison of newspapers and magazines reveals that newspaper readers have a much higher

reading frequency, with 72 percent reading a newspaper daily on a continuing basis. This means much

greater exposure of advertising to newspaper readers.
