[KineJapan] NHK doc about Kawase Naomi’s Olympic doc

[Jeremy Harley]

Just following up, NHK in Osaka has apologized
<https://www.asahi.com/articles/ASQ196WCCQ19PTFC004.html> for the wayward
title, but it doesn’t seem like that gets at the root of the problem by any
stretch.



As Yang Yonghi writes
<https://twitter.com/yangyonghi/status/1480228049929248775>,
(paraphrasing): one can’t help but suspect they planned to shape the story
with such a title from the beginning.



A lot more going around on this topic, including criticism of Kawase, but I
thought I’d just pass on the basics, especially since I haven’t seen the
doc myself and I don’t have a clear sense of her connection or involvement
yet.
