NHK Publishing, Inc. was established in 1931 and marks its 90th anniversary in 2021. During this time, the company evolved in step with the growth of NHK’s radio and television broadcasting. Mainly through the publication of reference texts for programs as well as books related to the broadcast, we have accommodated people’s motivation to study and assisted them in cultural enrichment and achieving well-being.
As digitalization permeates society, the way products are offered is changing dramatically. While sales of published material falters, our company deals not only with e-publishing, but also Internet-based language applications and more. We also strive to enhance our agile marketing power using social networking services and web media that will contribute to securing sales and profit.
In line with NHK, which holds up “the pursuit of new features unique to NHK,” we will work closely with our group organizations and, with a focus on the educational field, make further efforts to develop and expand appealing contents.
A project to rebuild the building where we are headquartered has started and we consider this as a major opportunity. While seeking new working styles in the post-Covid era, we will create an efficient and ideal business system and, as the only publisher in the NHK group, continue to meet the expectations of our viewers and readers while striving for our 100th year in business.
