-Reader Question: Independent media study in Japan

Subject: looking for information on university research in japan

This request is for a reader. Can anyone advise? I know that Doshisha Univ. in Kyoto has a couple of professors involved in progressive media (may be liberal rather than radical). Can anyone send us info?[/]i

Hello.
I’d be glad if you could help me.

My name’s Rafael, I’m from Brazil and I’m Journalism student. I enjoy studying/discussing on Journalism and I’m interested on independent media, media watch and social movements. I was a reader of brazilian indymedia.org and recently I’ve begun to read other indymedia sites, the Japanese as well.

The information I’m looking for is about research about media, journalism, media watch, independent media, community media in Japanese universities. I’m going to try a Monbusho scholarship and I need to find a university in japan with mastership program on these subjects. I’m not sure yet of what is my project going to be exactly, but i’m sure I want to involve independent media, media watch or even the indymedia in japan or worldwide

These kind of information is difficult to find here as well as about media criticism in Asia. In Brazil we study a little of the latin american theorists and the greater influence are the european (at least for me), like Pierre Bourdieu, Furio Colombo, Serge Halimi, Robert Kurz etc.

If you know this or could point someone who does, that would be nice.
Thank you,
Rafael Misael.
