The Nikkey Shimbun (ニッケイ新聞, Nikkei Shinbun) or the Jornal do Nikkey was a Japanese language newspaper published in Liberdade, São Paulo, Brazil. [1] [2] It was one of two Japanese newspapers published in that city, the other being the São Paulo Shimbun. [3] On December 18, 2021, the newspaper printed its last edition. [4] [5]
The newspaper distributed the Prêmio Paulista de Esporte along with the Jornal Nikkei. [6]
Before its discontinuation, the newspaper's president was Raul Takaki (高木 ラウル Takaki Rauru) [7] and the editor-in-chief was Masayuki Fukuzawa. [3]
The newspaper was founded in 1998 as a merger between the Diário Nippak and the Jornal Paulista. [3] The former, headed by Toshihiko "Kan-chan" Nakabayashi (died in 1992 at 77 years of age), [8] was founded in 1949 and the latter was founded in 1947. [3]
The Nikkey Shimbun stated in 2013 that it has a daily run of 10,000 copies. [9]
Due to a decline in readership, the newspaper ceased publication in December 2021. Six of its Japanese-language reporters, including editor Masayuki Fukuzawa, joined the Diário Brasil Nippou, a news website established in January 2022 to serve the Brazilian Nikkei community. [4] The website has faced financial challenges and has turned to donations and the printing of special editions to survive. [10]
Due to the aging of the immigrant Japanese community, the newspaper launched a weekly Portuguese edition, the Jornal Nippak, initially to reach children of Japanese immigrants. As of 2013 the chief editor is Aldo Shiguti. [3] By the time the Jornal Nippak had been launched, there was already a Portuguese website. Raul Takaki stated that even though the Portuguese website existed, and that the other Japanese newspaper in the city also had one, the Nikkey Shimbun felt a need to make a Nissei-oriented daughter publication. [11] Shiguti stated that Brazilians interested in Japanese culture have also bought copies of the Portuguese edition. [3]
