ABOUT US

世界を、人々の暮らしを伝えます。

Nihon Denpa News Co., Ltd. (NDN) was established in 1960, becoming Japan’s first TV news agency.
From our branches in Vietnam and Thailand, the NDN network stretches across Southeast Asia. During the Vietnam War in the 1970s, NDN was the only video media outlet from the Western Bloc broadcasting to the world the lives of citizens on the ground during the bombing of North Vietnam. The footage we captured has been seen by many around the world.
We have since worked to produce numerous news programs, documentaries and films on topics from both Japan and abroad.
Today, through both offline and online media, we are striving to forge new connections between people in Asia and around the globe from our base in the Far East. While our operation may be small, but we are dedicated to delivering authentic stories and perspectives from real people on the ground.
We look forward to the day we can work with you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
