Visiting Program for German Journalists to Japan
In Germany, interest in Japan has distinctly waned in recent times, and because of the global shifts in power, the German media outlets' reporting on Japan has been significantly reduced. The focus of the German media is increasingly aimed towards China and India. However, as a democratically ruled Asian power and a world economic power, Japan remains both a strategic and an important partner to Germany.
In order to promote a more complete and balanced coverage of Japan in the German media, the Robert Bosch Stiftung set up a "Visiting Program for German Journalists to Japan".
Applications will be accepted from journalists representing all German media outlets (print, TV, radio, Internet). There is no age limit. The pilot event discussing a current topic will be held in Tokyo and in other Japanese cities.
On the agenda of the six-day program is an introductory symposium as well as discussions with selected players from politics, administration, economy, science, and media. During the second half of the program, the journalists have the opportunity to do their own research. The program is conducted in both English and Japanese. Linguistic support is provided. A publication following the conclusion of the trip is expressly desired.
In the organization and implementation of the program, the Robert Bosch Stiftung is supported by the Japanese-German Center Berlin and the Japan Institute for Social and Economic Affairs (Keizai Koho Center).
