Cowed news media has forgotten its role
In his Tokyo Shimbun column about weekly magazines, Hiroyuki Shinoda recently lauded Shukan Asahi for accusing Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of exploiting the murder of journalist Kenji Goto by the Islamic State group for political purposes. Shinoda points out that the magazine had been intimidated by the "bashing" its associated newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun, received last summer after the latter retracted a series of stories about the "comfort women." So he was relieved when he saw that Shukan Asahi had recovered the "true essence" of the weeklies' job, which is to make trouble for those in power.

Inadequate quake evacuation plans
Each local government has an evacuation plan to cope with major earthquakes. But there is a blind spot. Evacuation plans for individual large buildings are almost lacking. The government plans to revise the Fire Service Law to make it mandatory for owners of facilities such as hotels, department stores and hospitals to work out a firefighting plan and set up an in-house firefighting unit in the event of the big one. It hopes to have the revision go into effect by the summer of 2009 after Diet approval in the current session. Concrete measures need to be taken as soon as possible at the private-sector level.
