Apology for inappropriate expressions used in comfort women articles 8:07 pm, November 29, 2014 The Japan News http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0001750552 An in-house review has found that The Daily Yomiuri (hereafter referred to as the DY, and now The Japan News) used “sex slave” and other inappropriate expressions in a total of 97 articles from February 1992 to January 2013 in its reporting on the issue of so-called comfort women. The Japan News apologizes for having used these misleading expressions and will add a note stating that they were inappropriate to all the articles in question in our database. We also have a list of the articles on our website (the-japan-news.com) Japanese paper regrets use of term 'sex slaves' By MARI YAMAGUCHI Nov. 28, 2014 6:17 AM EST http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2802e2ebe2b14327895164eaaf2d75dc/japanese-paper-regrets-use-term-sex-slaves TOKYO (AP) — Japan's biggest newspaper apologized in print Friday for using the term "sex slaves" in its English-language edition to describe Asian women forced into Japanese military-run brothels during World War II. The conservative Yomiuri said in articles in English and Japanese that it was inappropriate to have used the phrase and others implying the women were coerced to provide sex. The newspaper identified 97 articles, including 85 of its own, with "sex slaves" or similar expressions between 1992 and 2013. It said non-Japanese people have difficulty understanding the term "comfort women," used in Japan to describe the women, so its English-language edition added explanations improperly suggesting that "coercion by the Japanese government or the army was an objective fact."
