Reality of Buraku Discrimination in Japan

History, Situation, Challenge


The Role of the Mass Media


The mass media highly influences the formation of public opinion. Newspapers were the first to discuss the Buraku issue, followed by TV and magazines. While the mass media is aware well of its important role in solving the Buraku issue, some articles and cartoons that incite discrimination are still published. This photo shows a weekly magazine that contains a report that incites prejudice (September 1991).
