Who is involved in the scandal/controversy?
-Those involved in this are the CEO and other higher up's of the Toshiba corporation.
Who are some of the major speakers/writers within these groups?
- The most frequently quoted person in all pieces discussed is the former CEO of Toshiba. He is often quoted with great sadness that he allowed the company to fall that low.
What kind of power do these groups/writers hold?
-The outlets that released this story have the power to shift public opinion nationwide on their opinions of Toshiba. If they had shown any bias towards or away from the company they could both increase or decrease the profits for the company.
What resources are available to each position?
-This issue is mostly written in a neutral tone. If someone was looking for a more opinionated viewpoint they could check out sites such as Fox News, MSNBC etc. to see if they had a major opinion on the subject. However, in the articles and websites I had discussed in earlier topics had no outstanding opinion on the matters. They were just there to inform the public of what is truly happening in Toshiba.
The opposing opinions on this matter would be more geared to either support of the company through the tough time or doing they're best to cut all ties to the company. There is no huge room for common middle ground on this issue. It is hard to evaluate an outstanding opinion on this topic because it is so neutrally written in almost all outlets.
