The Asahi Shimbun Company (Representative Director, President and CEO: Katsu Tsunoda) will renew the Asahi Shimbun Digital exclusive serial "A-stories" this spring, launching it as "A-stories" (written in Katakana) to deeply explore the depths of events happening in the world and Japan, as well as social issues hidden in our daily lives, weaving them into narratives. Emphasizing continuity, the name was changed by spelling "story" in Katakana. As a general rule, a new theme will start every Monday, changing weekly. Utilizing videos, photos, and infographics, we will deliver an experience that goes beyond mere "reading".

## ■ Upcoming Lineup for A-stories
### Who consents to your surgery? ~ Old age without relatives
Which do you choose, surgery or radiation therapy? Do you wish for life-prolonging treatment? Medical care is based on the principle of self-determination, but in the past, when a patient's decision-making was difficult, the "consent" of the family was emphasized. With the increasing number of people without relatives and those with dementia, the situation is changing drastically. (Scheduled to be published on April 6)
