Strategic Rationale Behind the Acquisition

In a world full of digital information, much of it is unreliable. So, local media with a trusted voice is essential. This is especially true for Japanese people living abroad. For over 35 years, Lighthouse has offered key lifestyle and business info to Japanese communities in the United States. It has built a strong reputation. Now, it serves as vital information for local Japanese-speaking communities.
