The Sankei Shimbun (産経新聞, Sankei Shinbun), name short for Sangyō Keizai Shinbun (産業経済新聞, lit. "Industrial and Economic News"), is a daily national newspaper[12] in Japan published by the Sankei Shimbun Co., Ltd, ranking amongst the top 5 most circulated newspapers in Japan.[13]
Together with its English-language paper Japan Forward, the Sankei Shimbun has been described as having a far-right[14][15][16][17] or right-wing[18] political stance. It has previously published books denying the atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.[19]
