Joshua Ogawa serves as Head of AI and Visual Strategy at Nikkei's Editorial Division, spearheading efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into newsroom workflows and storytelling. He joined the Reuters Institute's Advisory Board in 2025.

Before his role, Ogawa was General Manager, Nikkei-FT Partnership at Nikkei Europe, where he was in charge of day-to-day collaboration between Nikkei and the Financial Times, which the Japanese news organisation acquired in 2015. During this time, he was a Visiting Fellow at the Reuters Institute, where he worked on ways to build a successful media partnership through merger and acquisition, and how to manage change and culture over time.

Before taking on that role in 2018, he spent over 20 years in the Nikkei newsroom as a media and technology reporter, including 7-year deployment in the US, first as a Chief Correspondent in New York and later as Silicon Valley Bureau Chief.
