"Newspapers have arrived!"
In the early morning in Fukuoka, a man riding an electric scooter, his age obscured by a helmet, lifted stacks of newspapers from the rear cargo box and placed them in front of the convenience store.
Once he completed the task and drove off into the early morning darkness, it wasn't long before a young person in a convenience store uniform came out, brought the stacks of newspapers inside, unwrapped them one by one, and placed them on the most prominent shelves.
With the rise of electronic reading, traditional print media across Japan, large and small, have faced significant challenges: after all, online news delivers information faster, with richer content and more comprehensive information, even leading paper giants like Yomiuri and Nikkan have gradually sought to embrace new media.
