Director’s Report: Reporting Beyond the Headlines – Tomomi Ono’s Insightful Coverage of ARI

Director’s Report:
Ms. Tomomi Ono, an Asahi Shimbun reporter has written many articles about ARI since she was assigned to the Otawara (Northern Tochigi) Bureau in 2021, and she will be transferred to the Tokyo head office on September 1st.
Ono-san wrote about ARI’s events and covered a number of themes that touched the essence of ARI, such as radiation issues, organic farming, and servant leadership. She interviewed staff members many times and even attended classes. I am especially grateful to her for writing about me in the “Hito (People)” section on the newspapers, to which I received many good responses!
She was also a big fan of ARI’s produce (and I’m sure you will continue to).
Come back again, Ono-san!
