CNN Interactive has launched a Japanese-language version of its
website, bringing the number of its non-English language websites up to
seven. Sparked by an alliance with Japanese news site Asahi.com, the new
website (CNN.co.jp) will share Japanese-language news and content with
Asahi. According to CNN senior vice-president Scott Woelfel, the site
will provide a rich Web experience, featuring news specific to Japan, in
addition to the full scope of global news and information available to
CNN.com users worldwide.
