Media minds manners in royal reportage
As much as we all love them, the Imperial family doesn't make for exciting reading. Last week, the European press was beside itself with news of the abdication of Spain's King Juan Carlos, who has been hit by several public support-sapping scandals in recent years. The only thing comparable here was that controversy about the propriety of taking photos of the Imperial couple in public places with a cell phone. A high school student got a flattering shot of the Emperor and Empress smiling, waving and looking straight into the camera at a train station in Tochigi Prefecture and then uploaded it on to Twitter. The public reaction was mostly positive, but the media were critical, saying it wasn't right to share photos on social media of the Emperor, though one could sense in the language the tang of sour grapes. The press is restricted by protocol and this teenager got the best pic of the Imperial couple ever by flouting the rules.
