First, we talked about the online User Created Contents (UCC) in Japan. Taking Hatsune Miku and Niconico Douga as examples, we discussed about two conflicting characteristics of Japanese UCC ecosystem, the expending user participation and on-going pressure of commercialization.<\/p>\n
“Serious” discussion at the Izakaya \u201cChimney\u201d near to the Hongo campus<\/p><\/div>\n
Second, we shared East Asian and Danish stories about the independency of mass media. We made it clear that both Japan and Denmark share a similar legal environment prospectively reforming the relationship between national governments and mass media. Moreover, thanks to Yi-Ren Lin (a Ph.D. student of GSII in the University of Tokyo, originally from Taiwan), we were able to talk about how increasing influences of Chinese capitals on Taiwanese media affect the independency of media ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Finally, the discussion was also focused on the news subscription through the Internet. While Danish newspaper companies are actively making use of the Internet in order to deal with the decreased number of offline subscriptions, their efforts are mainly concentrated on operating companies\u2019 own online news sites; online news portals such as Yahoo in Japan and Daum in Korea, in which a user can access to and compare news articles from various individual media companies, are not prevalent in Denmark. We discussed about the advantages and disadvantages about the two different systems.<\/p>\n
After the meeting, we continued our discussion at the Izakaya \u201cChimney\u201d near Hongo San Chome Station. The discussion with drinking was really fruitful and we exchanged our opinions about each country\u2019s journalist education system and other various topics.
