By: Seiji Matsutaro</span>
Mainichi Shinpo has been operating in Akitsu for decades now, in fact we are one of the oldest newspapers in All of Akitsu. Founded very shortly after the modernization of Akitsu, we have continued on to create the Mainich Broadcasting Corporation (毎日放送株式会社), called "Mainichi Hōsō" (毎日放送) by those in Akitsu, which is was the second largest radio and television broadcasting corporation in all of Akitsu. We have dedicated ourselves to giving people quality coverage of news, as well as high quality entertainment in our radio and television stations, for this entire time.
But alas, all that will come to an end today. A new legal situation has emerged within Akitsu, where promoting change for the "national polity" has become illegal. This term, left undefined and up to interpretation, has opened Akitsu up to a wide range of new repressive tactics. In effect, all media in Akitsu will now have to be censored or risk being shut down by the government. Mainichi Shinpo refused to abide by the new censorship regulations, but due to continued harrassment by supporters of the new government as well as threats of legal action against us, we are no longer able to continue to remain in Akitsu and have our safety be guarenteed.
In recent times many other Akitian media outlets have found themselves in similar situations. AHK, once the country's leading broadcaster and in fact the country's public broadcaster, was shut down by the new government. It's employees were forced to either accept the new censorship measures by the government or lose out on a job. Those that accepted the new censorship measures were given equivalent positions in the new public broadcaster, Zenkoku Nippō. Luckily for us at Mainichi Shinpo, this will probably not happen. However, as sad as it may be, we also are no longer able to continue operations in Akitsu without having to go through similar harrassment, and with the threats of legal action now coming against us we are now left with little choice but to shut down our largest operation, our operation in Akitsu. Whether we can survive this major blow to our finances is unknown, but if we are to remain an independent media organization it is a necessary measure.
Goodbye Akitsu, our beloved home, perhaps we will cross paths again in the future.
