A vulgar newspaper that aims to increase sales by sensationalizing erotic, gossip, or exposé articles that strongly appeal to readers' emotions. Japanese newspapers gradually became more popular in the late 1880s, but this led to fierce sales competition among commercial newspapers in Tokyo. Yorozu Choho, founded in 1892 (Meiji 25) by Kuroiwa Shuroku (Ruiko), sold articles that exposed private information such as "eroticism" and the upper class's "concubine" problem, and it is said that the term "red newspaper" (red newspaper) was born from the fact that the newspaper was printed on light pink paper. Such sensational, vulgar newspapers also appeared in America around the same time. This was called yellow journalism.

読者の情緒に強く訴えるエロやゴシップあるいは暴露記事などを扇情的に扱って、売れ行きの増大を図る興味本位の低俗新聞。日本の新聞は明治20年代後半に入ると、しだいに大衆化したが、それにつれて、東京の商業新聞の間で激しい販売競争が起こった。1892年(明治25)黒岩周六(涙香(るいこう))が創刊した『萬朝報(よろずちょうほう)』は、「艶種(つやだね)」や上流階級の「蓄妾(ちくしょう)」問題などプライバシーを暴露するような記事で売り出したが、その新聞が淡紅色の用紙を使っていたところから、赤新聞ということばが生まれたといわれる。こうした扇情的な低俗新聞は同じころアメリカにも出現した。それをイエロー・ジャーナリズムという。 [高須正郎] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
