How are younger people in Japan getting their news — and what’s being lost in the process? Is the swipe generation losing touch with journalism — or just reshaping it?
This week on Japan Today Spotlight, we explore how younger people in Japan are consuming news — from TikTok clips and Line updates to Instagram slideshows. As traditional media fades, what does journalism mean in a world of endless swipes, viral headlines and algorithmic feeds?
The episode follows our previous coverage on Japan’s legacy broadcasters and newspapers. Together, these stories explore how the country’s media landscape is being reshaped — not just by platforms, but by shifting trust and attention.
