The last fifteen years of empirical studies of mass communications have seen an increased interest in the cognitive effects of the mass media. This means that the focus of attention of researchers has shifted from the persuasive function of the media to the information-transmittal one. And it is in this context that the main products of practicing journalists have become fully considered in their own right for the first time in the history of media-effect studies. The purpose of this article is to research the empirical studies of journalism in Japan. More precisely, I would like to make a critical study of influences the press may have upon the Japanese political processes. Based on the conceptual framework of cognitive effects, this study includes the following topics : study of the knowledge-gaps which the different news media create between social classes ; study of the agenda-setting effect and its sub-effects by the press ; study of the influence of the perceived "climate of opinion" (which might be shaped by news-reports) upon individuals' political behavior ;etc.
