Opening up the English homepage the first thing I noticed was the startling number of articles related to sex crimes (click here for an example), none of which were related to the US military rape case that has been pummeling the headlines as of late. These were all crimes committed by Japanese people, primarily against young females. Clicking on any of the articles not only pulls up the article in question but an onslaught of similar stories under the “related articles.” You can follow these stories to the end of the earth. Yet when I checked out the Japanese versions of these same articles, if they even existed, the number of “related articles” was always significantly less, or entirely nonexistent.
Is it presumed that the Japanese audience doesn’t care to hear about these things? Does everyone know it’s happening and therefore it’s assumed that these stories don’t need to be told? God forbid readers actually have to stare problems in the face day in and day out to the point where they are forced to think critically about their contributing factors on a deeper level. Or、 is it simply that the English editors fall back on the sensationalist tendencies of the media in their home countries?

But even without Waiwai the selection of articles featured at Mainichi can be somewhat prurient. Their photo-journal section is mostly photos of pretty Japanese females catering to the internet guy crowds: http://mdn.mainichi.jp/photojournal/graph/photojournal/ It’s more “Maxim” than “New York Times”
