 AsiaMedia :: NHK in the headlights
's Broadcast Law, which established NHK as a semi-governmental organization whose goal was twofold: to present "abundant and high quality broadcast programs for the public welfare" and to inncrease broadcast technology using government support.
NHK, he says, has tended to approach its coverage "in a totally neutral, factual, and non-interesting way." Moreover, Krauss claims, while NHK is a reliable source of public affairs information, it is also "very bad about providing perspective, different points of view, or interpretation" of that information.
Privatizing NHK, he says, would force it to be more accountable to the public in the same ways that the recently-privatized telephone and rail industries have given consumers more control.

 Japan Media Review -- TV News in Japan: Reporting on Politics or Shaping it?
The public TV station in Japan, NHK -- or Nippon Hoso Kyokai -- was until recently the main source of TV news in Japan.
By the early 1990s, NHK faced a challenge perhaps more serious than the failure of its "new media" strategy to ensure its technological and broadcast leadership at home and abroad: for the first time in 30 years, commercial competition struck at the heart of its long-term dominance of the news.
Further, unlike NHK, the commercial stations had to show a profit, and thus were much warier about sinking their resources into what might prove to be a risky venture given NHK's dominance in the field.

 AsiaMedia :: JAPAN: NHK fee boycott to tune of 50 billion yen
Tokyo --- NHK anticipates up to around 50 billion yen in revenue loss for the fiscal year ending next March because many viewers are refusing to pay fees to the public broadcaster, NHK President Genichi Hashimoto said Tuesday.
Households refusing to pay and citing the recent NHK scandals and other reasons are estimated to number about 1.3 million at the end of this month, and the revenue from viewer charges for the six months through September will be around 23.7 billion yen short of the company's projection, Hashimoto said.
In the plan, which will serve as the basis for its management programs for fiscal 2006-2008 to be drawn up by January, NHK will strive to be independent and autonomous as a public broadcaster, and aim to cut its workforce by 10 percent or some 1,200 workers.
