Asahi apologizes for plagiarizing Yomiuri report

TOKYO, Japan - Senior executives of the Asahi Shimbun apologize at a news conference on Feb. 1 for plagiarism involving a report by an Asahi photographer. The report was attached to a photo in the Jan. 30 evening edition of the Asahi Shimbun and was about the production of ''kammochi,'' a local rice cake delicacy in the town of Tateyama, Toyama Prefecture. The story was similar to an earlier Yomiuri Shimbun story on the same topic. (Kyodo)
