Nagano governor scraps 'exclusive' press club

NAGANO, Japan - Nagano Gov. Yasuo Tanaka announced at a news conference May 15 that he is to set up a press center open to all media to replace the existing member-only press clubs, saying, ''A press club could at times be an exclusive group with vested interests.'' Nagano will be the first prefectural government in Japan to give broad media access to its information-provision facilities, no longer limiting access to press club members.
