Kisha Club
A , or "reporters' club", from the Japanese word , meaning reporter, is a Japanese news-gathering association of reporters from specific news organizations, whose reporting centers on a press room set up by sources such as the Prime Minister's Official Residence, government ministries, local authorities, the police, or corporate bodies. In English, it also called a ''Press Club.'' Institutions with a kisha club limit their press conferences to the journalists of that club, and membership rules for kisha clubs are restrictive.
