• Resumen

  • The switchover to digital television has been accomplished in Japan. Its new digital broadcast infrastructure puts more stress on the high-quality picture. The use of released analogue channels has begun, but the tempo is rather slow in the midst of digitization of other media. The broadcast programmes about the Great East Japan Earthquake were highly evaluated in general, but there are reflections among broadcasters about whether broadcasts could not have diminished the number of victims of the disaster. Having these reflections in mind, broadcasters are now facing the new challenges after transition.
