In those days, each prefecture was permitted to have just one newspaper. The Chugoku Newspaper stationed two, covering a wider area that consisted of five prefectures of Yamaguchi, Shimane, Tottori, Hiroshima and Okayama. The Press Club was established in the Chugoku Area Army Headquarters, and the newspapers such as the national Asahi, Mainichi, and local Chugoku, Nishi-Nihon (Western Japan), Godo ( Sanyo), and Osaka usually stationed one reporter there. During the war, news reporters were stationed at the Press Club to gather material. This is where many newspapers and TV stations have registered, and reporters actively gather news. Today, a Press Club exists in the City Government Office, the Prefectural Government Office, and also other offices in Hiroshima. ☆ The “Parachute News” Scattered by Planes Chapter 6 The Eve and the Day of the Atomic Bombing
