Japan PM Kishida's premiership to end after decision to exit party leadership race
channelnewsasia.com/east-asia/japan-pm-kishida-step-down-september-4545116
Quick Glance: Political Turmoil in Japan: Kishida Announces Resignation
- Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has announced that he will not seek re-election as leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in September. This decision comes amid plummeting support due to a corruption scandal, rising living costs, and a declining yen, with Kishida's approval ratings dropping to 15.5%, the lowest in over a decade.
- During a press conference, Kishida emphasized the need for the LDP to demonstrate a change in order to regain public trust. He stated that a transparent election and open debates are essential, marking his resignation as a necessary first step towards this transformation.
- Concerns within the party have arisen regarding Kishida's ability to lead the LDP to victory in the 2025 general elections. His resignation was met with regret from party members, who acknowledged his successes in foreign and domestic policy, yet felt he was compelled to step down due to political pressures stemming from the corruption scandal. The LDP is currently working to repair its image.
- Analysts have characterized the current political climate in Japan as a 'once-in-a-generation' crisis. The combination of political scandals and economic hardships has eroded trust in the ruling party despite a divided opposition. Notably, Kishida has gained recognition for his diplomatic efforts, strengthening defense ties with the US and South Korea, despite facing significant domestic challenges.

Quick Glance: AI-Generated Quotes Scandal in Wyoming Journalism
- A reporter from the Cody Enterprise, Aaron Pelczar, faced allegations of using artificial intelligence (AI) to generate fake quotes and stories. The issue was uncovered by CJ Baker from the Powell Tribune, who identified inconsistencies in Pelczar's reporting, particularly in an article about comedian Larry the Cable Guy.
- The Cody Enterprise's editorial team, established in 1899, apologized for the mistakes and pledged to implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Editor Chris Bacon admitted it was his responsibility to catch the false quotes and expressed regret for the oversight.
- An investigation into Pelczar's articles revealed seven stories containing AI-generated quotes from six individuals. Many quotes sounded credible, yet the quoted individuals had not spoken to Pelczar. This raises significant concerns regarding the integrity and credibility of journalism.
- The Enterprise plans to create a policy on the use of AI in reporting, recognizing the need for clear guidelines and the potential risks associated with AI in the media industry. These incidents highlight the challenges that AI presents to journalism.
