The Foreign Press Center/Japan (FPCJ) is an independent, private and non-profit foundation supporting members of the foreign press in their work in Japan by helping them to overcome such barriers as differences in customs and language and to get "accurate information, gathered quickly and without waste." In addition to supporting the professional activities of the foreign press, the FPC are very much interested in helping researchers and students of Japanese Studies to gain objective information on current trends and opinions in Japan, through up-to-date communications on current topics followed by summaries of major Japanese newspapers' editorials.
