 some quotes:

 --- Charles Burress  (San Francisco Chronicles staff writer)

	"But despite its [NY Times's] excellent reputation, much
	of its Japan coverage seems to be tainted by a peculiar
	attitude that shows up time and time again.  Here are
	more examples:  [...]"    (Page 45-46 of English text)


--- Harry Harootunian  (Director of East Asian Studies and
   			Professor of New York University)

	"I think that the people who the New York Times has in
	Japan now, Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, are
	awful, because I don't think that they understand
	anything about Japan."    (Page 87 of English text)

 	(Kristof doesn't speak any Japanese.)


--- Keiko IKEDA:
	"I used to read the New York Times everyday when I lived
	in New York with my family, and taught anthropology at
	[...] Columbia University.  This paper's biased coverage
	of Japan is often talked about among American
	Japanologists."      (Page 100 of English text)

   How Accurate Is American Media Coverage on Japan ?

   scholars from both sides of the Pacific contributed their ideas.
