WWW- They say sex sells. So why should the reporting of current events be any different? It’s that very philosophy that has made “Naked News” such a scantily-clad success, and now, the titillating telejournalism is set to strip in Japan!

For virgin viewers not familiar with the rising phenomenon, “Naked News” is both a daily as well as weekly program designed to give its millions of Internet members and “television audience” the latest weather, news, sports and entertainment in the same fashion as more traditional broadcasts. Just without all that distracting clothing.

And with “Naked News” coming to Japan, the country joins more than 170 other nations who get news coverage coupled with curvaceous cleavage.

In fact, the program is so popular internationally that a documentary titled “Inside Naked News” recently aired in the U.K., which uncovered the audition process.

But for many, news stories accompanied by too much skin is simply sinful.

“When you have naked women on TV, there’s bound to be controversy,” says LUCAS TYLER, programming producer for “Naked News.” “Obviously some people don’t agree with nudity and I just say to them, ‘So don’t tune in.'”

“If you ever watch our program, we deliver the same kind of news that you’d see at 6 and 11 o’clock,” adds Tyler. “Time magazine actually said we have the best international coverage aside from the BBC.”

For senior anchor VICTORIA SINCLAIR, [pictured] she thinks that those addressing the undressing should “watch it and compare it to your own local news, and then come back to me with your arguments. I don’t think you’ll have any.”

“There are some people who don’t agree with the nudity and think that maybe we are trivializing the news,” says Tyler. “But I say to them that we’ve brought so many people back to the news who felt they’d been disenfranchised. Any way you can inform people is a good way.”
