Throughout the past seven years, the Japan Information Access Project has been recognized as a respected provider of accurate and timely information on Japanese science, technology, and public policy. The Project has had significant exposure in both the print and broadcast media. Journalists from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, USA Today, San Jose Mercury News, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Journal of Commerce, Financial Times, Business Week, Far Eastern Economic Review, National Journal, Sankei Shimbun, Kyodo News, ABC News, and CNBC are among those who call upon the Project for information, and expertise.

The Project has also been cited in a number of professional trade association journals such as IRI News, The Industrial Physicist, and Computer as a valuable information source. A Letter-to-the-Editor by the Project's director on the Dangers of Slashing Away at Government Science published by The Washington Poston September 1, 1995 was used by policymakers to show how deep cuts in the U.S. science and technology budget compared with proposed dramatic increases in Japan's government R&D budgets.

Programs sponsored by the Project have been covered by the broadcast media. In addition to wide coverage by all the Japanese television bureaus in Washington, our programs have been taped by Reuters, NBC, ABC, CNBC, CNN, NHK, TBS and C-Span. C-Net (Japan's equivalent of C-Span) tapes all our public programs. On June 27, 1996, Project Director Mindy Kotler appeared on CNBC's Capitol Gains with Peter Barnes to comment on the Clinton-Hashimoto summit.
