...Instead, faced with one of the most heated elections in modern Japan's history, candidates from both parties are forced to get creative. In Hyogo prefecture, Tetsuzo Fuyushiba, a 73-year-old member of the New Komeito Party (the LDP's ruling coalition partner), decided to forgo his usual hairstyle - an old-school side-part - for no part.

It was not long before I began to wonder at the online company that I was keeping. What...
...media of the future may be a combination of all this, plus old-school outlets that survive. They could produce good journalism. (After all, traditional news outlets aren't without potential conflict either; I review HBO series even though HBO's owner owns TIME.)
