Outline of Final Research Achievements

The NNN Document series produced by 29 stations nationwide in the NNN(Nippon News Network) is the documentary program with the longest history in Japanese television. Since the start in 1970, the number of broadcasts so far has reached about 2,200. These are valuable records of Japanese contemporary history and broadcast history. In this research, in order to take over these records to the nextgeneration, we digitally archived all the programs, and created a detailed program database, under full cooperation with NNN stations. We also made use of these to explore how television recorded the turning point of postwar Japan. The result will be published by the University of Tokyo Press in 2019 as "NNN Document Chronicle (Tentative)".
