Kyoko Omori
Assistant Professor of Japanese Kyoko Omori presented a paper at the 43rd meeting of the 20th-century Media Research Institute, Waseda University, Tokyo, on April 5. The talk was titled "Two Radio Shows from the Occupation Period; Japan's First Quiz Show 'Hanashi no izumi' and a Satirical Variety Show 'Nichiyô goraku-ban'."
 
Her talk focused on a variety of nuanced strategies that the GHQ/SCAP took in the wake of WWII, in order to rebuild the Japanese radio broadcasting system for promoting democracy. Toward this project, Omori has also been awarded a $1,000 grant from Waseda University. The written version of the research result will be published in The Anthology of Publications in Magazines During the Occupation Period, forthcoming in November 2008.
