NHK World
JapanNHK World is the English-language international service of Japan's public broadcaster NHK, based in Tokyo and operating since 1995. In our feed Japan comes first, followed by the United States, Iran, China, Ukraine and Russia. Politics leads, with security and economy close together behind it, and diplomacy is the largest single subject; health and the environment take an unusually visible share. Its headlines treat Japan respectfully and the United States neutrally.
Political leaning and stance
NHK World's headlines are neutral and factual toward the United States and Donald Trump throughout the measured period, using verbs such as "announces", "says" and "signs" without evaluative adjectives. Japan is treated neutrally at first and respectfully and supportively from early summer, with Japanese officials quoted without distancing. Iran is met with skepticism where it receives enough headlines to measure. Criticism of the outlet's subjects appears mainly as attributed third-party views. The measurement works from the outlet's headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
Who owns NHK World
NHK World is the international service of NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation, Japan's public broadcaster, which owns it; NHK is funded mainly by viewer receiving fees.
