The Asahi Shimbun Company is the most known newspaper company in Japan. The content of the paper used to be believed reliable, but its reputation is rapidly going down and the circulation is plunging. It's due to its long-lasting mendacious reports and their malicious activities were exposed to the public one after another on the internet. In general, paper-based information is slower than the online news. Every newspaper company is suffering from the decrease of its circulation, but Asahi's agony is far beyond other companies'. I'm expecting Asahi's bankruptcy.
