The Daily Yomiuri, the English-language newspaper published by The Yomiuri Shimbun, will be reborn on April 1 as The Japan News.
At a time "when Japan's ability to transmit information to the world is being sought", The Yomiuri Shimbun intends to enhance its ability to share information in English - chiefly its news coverage and opinions - through its renewed English-language newspaper.
In addition to revamped news content and fresh page layouts, The Yomiuri Shimbun will launch a new website that will be more fully integrated with the reborn newspaper. The Daily Yomiuri/The Yomiuri Shimbun is one of the member-newspapers of the Asia News Network (ANN). Since 1999, ANN is a partner of the KAS Media Programme Asia.
