BPO NHK International Broadcasting Program Violates Broadcast Ethics March 31 16:38
The NHK International Broadcasting Program, which covers a company that provides rental services for families and others, has a sufficient check system for the BPO (Broadcasting Ethics and Program Improvement Organization) to confirm that the person introduced as a user was actually a staff member of the company. Did not build and concluded that there was a broadcast ethics violation.
This program was a documentary program of NHK International Broadcasting, "Inside Lens". In November, when we picked up a rental service company such as a family, the person introduced as a customer was actually the company staff.
NHK apologized last May for telling us something wrong, and the BPO's Broadcasting Ethics Verification Committee was discussing if there were any problems.
The BPO released an opinion statement on the 31st, saying that the work of confirming the free director who produced it was neglected, and NHK said, "I was mistaken as a genuine user even though I was questioning the preview of the program. I was convinced by the brief explanations of the producers, and missed an important opportunity to correct the content of the program. "
He concluded that there was a violation of broadcast ethics, such as saying, "We must say that we did not have a sufficient checking system in place to take responsibility for broadcasting."
NHK commented, "We will take BPO's comments seriously and will continue to prevent recurrence."
