Tony Bryant (former poster here) said an interesting thing
on TJP:

"Well, admission time.

When I was at the Mainichi, I was one of the two people responsible for
the intro of WAI WAI to the paper. Of course, the Wai Wai was
structurally very different and we were much more selective in content
back in 1991. Basically, we took about half a dozen stories, condensed
each one into one paragraph, and had a big section of topical Japanese
newspaper and weekly mag comics with translation and cultural notes,
etc. Basically, the Wai Wai page was "this is this week in Japanese pop
culture."

Apparently, it's changed somewhat since Adam and I worked on WaiWai."
