Corporate Profile

Breathing Fresh Air into the Publishing Industry

NHK Publishing Inc. strives to bring our readers experiences and encounters that only we can offer. Our company’s long history dating back over 90 years makes it even more important that we revisit our origins and breathe fresh air into the publishing media industry to usher in a new era.
In a world where the internet has penetrated every part of our daily lives and artificial intelligence is utterly redefining human intelligence, what exactly is the role of the publishing media?
Countless people the world over have had their lives changed by a single book. Books possess warmth. I can imagine quite a few people have found themselves sitting still for a while after closing a book just finished, savoring the feelings evoked by its reading. Only books give you this kind of experience.
Many people also claim their encounter with a language textbook led to new friends around the world, while others say books on familiar topics such as hobbies, health, and cooking make their lives richer or more enjoyable. Times may change, but encounters between people and books will always remain a major role of the publishing media.
On the other hand, the creation of new types of encounters for readers will be a critical task of the publishing media going forward. We will explore and offer content, services, and thrilling experiences that meet the needs of the digital era. And we will continue to tackle new challenges head on to breathe fresh air into the publishing industry.
As NHK Group’s sole publishing company, NHK Publishing Inc. shoulders the responsibilities of a public media service. We aim to provide content and services that are trusted, loved, and enjoyed by everyone who accesses them. We seek to become a provider of content and services that our readers genuinely find useful, valuable, and moving. This is our foremost ambition and mission.
