NHK World
NHK World is the English-language international service of Japan's public broadcaster NHK, based in Tokyo and known for its neutral, institutional reporting since its launch in 1995. Its coverage of the United States and President Trump, each accounting for 100 headlines, is notably neutral with occasional critical framing, while its 15 headlines on Iran are consistently skeptical and adversarial.
