Well, admission time.
When I was at the Mainichi, I was one of the two people responsible for the intro of WAI WAI to the paper.
Of course, the Wai Wai was structurally very different and we were much more selective in content back in 1991.
Basically, we took about half a dozen stories, condensed each one into one paragraph,
and had a big section of topical Japanese newspaper and weekly mag comics with translation and cultural notes, etc.
Basically, the Wai Wai page was "this is this week in Japanese pop culture."
Apparently, it's changed somewhat since Adam and I worked on WaiWai.

FCCJ 60TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL
記事名：Talkiing tabloid (by Mark Schreiber and Michael Hoffman)
副題：The writers who gave us “Wai Wai” and “Tokyo Confidential” open their inboxes to the Number One Shimbun and tell us what makes them tick
Since 1992, Michael Hoffman and Mark Schreiber have trolled Japan's lively weekly magazines for stimulating topics, which they introduce in the form of frequently lurid summaries - first in the Mainichi Daily News’popular“Waiwai”page and, from 2001, in the Japan Times“Tokyo Confidential”column.
Their columns have been spun off in two anthologies, the most recent of which is Tabloid Tokyo.
Here, the two reflect on the meaning of it all.
Schreiber:
Our old mentor at Waiwai, Adam Fulford, has long insisted there are enough other entertaining topics in the weeklies to render sex unnecessary.
But I think it defines our column as being feisty and untrammeled.
We make it a point to serve up a judicious mixture of topics, of which sex constitutes not merely one, but several.
（中略）
The weeklies take an unashamed and unapologetic approach to the subject of sex, and I think as long as we adopt the tone that we're providing useful information
― and not just titillating readers or reveling in it for our own fun
― readers will keep coming back for more.
