Message

The best journalism shares with the best of the academy a pursuit of truth, a respect for evidence, a quality of analysis and an independence of thought. So the initiative of building a graduate journalism school in one of the finest universities in Japan has to be warmly applauded as a new driver for excellence in journalism. There can be few things so socially valuable as combining these two forces for the public good, the academic and the journalistic. I therefore wish the new Waseda School every success in upholding the highest possible professional journalism standards.
