　"MEDIAMIXI" will deliver content that multi-dimensionally captures "what is happening now" and "the future of society" through WEB news providing the latest information on entertainment and technology, YouTube channels covering a wide variety of topics, and radio programs featuring key persons from various fields such as business, entertainment, and politics.

　As the first commemorative project, Tomoko Namba, Chairman of DeNA Co., Ltd., will hold a dialogue on the YouTube channel "MIXI's Sub Channel" under the concept of becoming "MIXI's one-day chairman." This will also be simultaneously released on the WEB news media "MEDIAMIXI."

The WEB news media will also deliver local reports from overseas conferences such as SXSW and articles from interviews in New York.

■Background of Project Launch

　Under the purpose of "spreading rich communication and embracing the world with happy surprises," MIXI provides places and opportunities for people to "connect hearts" in the fields of sports, lifestyle, and digital entertainment. This time, leveraging our cultivated knowledge in communication creation, we have started the comprehensive media project "MEDIAMIXI" as a new hub to generate more intimate and passionate dialogue with society.

　This project aims to build close communication with society through deep insights in text, visual presentations in videos, and intimate dialogues on radio. Each media will cooperate with each other, such as deepening the excitement of radio with text, or delivering completely different perspectives on the same topic through articles and videos, thereby creating new experiences through media mix and proposing new forms of "rich communication."
