In response to a series of entertainment issues with the executives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the National Association of Commercial Broadcasters (NAB) has established a basic stance that it will not take any action that raises public doubts about its relationship with politics or administration.

Regarding a series of entertainment issues, executives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications have been punished for being entertained in violation of the ethical rules of national civil servants, and NTT and Tohokushinsha, which have been entertaining, have also been punished.

At a regular press conference on the 11th, National Association of Commercial Broadcasters Chairman Okubo revealed that he had set a basic stance on relations with politics and administration.



In this, it is essential to exchange opinions with politicians in order to seek an accurate understanding of the current state of the broadcasting business, and it should not be taken as an adhesion, and we will respond with moderation. I need it.



When exchanging opinions with members of parliament with a dinner, do not act in a way that raises the suspicion of the people, and when contacting a national public employee who has an interest, it is prohibited by the National Civil Service Ethics Law etc. It is said that it does not do what is being done.



The National Association of Commercial Broadcasters has informed each company about this basic stance.
