The death of publishing: Where are Tokyo's English magazines now?

You should excuse Greg Starr for
waxing nostalgic. After all, as editor in chief of ?Tokyo Journal? during
the first half of the 1990s, he presided over an age of hard-hitting,
irreverent and money-losing local journalism that would be forever upended by
the Internet.

He was editor in 1992 when the
magazine published a piece by James Bailey called ?The Incredible Inflating
Man,? which revealed TV talent Dave Spector?s penchant for inflating his resum�.

The magazine ran investigative
pieces on the plight of Filipino laborers, the murder of a Thai hostess and
revelations of HIV-contaminated blood in government-run blood banks and a subsequent bureaucratic cover-up.
