NHK「ETV2001」番組改編裁判の争点

判決文の背後にある「自由」の分析から

抄録

　Our concern i s to examine i ssues relating to the falsification of the NHK television

program“ ETV 2001” broadcasted on Jan. 30, 2001. But here we limit our

discussion to the matter of press freedom. The judgment each pronounced by

the Supreme Court and the Tokyo High Court i llustrate the point. The former

took account of“ the freedom of expression” i ndemnified by the Constitution of

Japan, the latter condemned an i llegality of NHK for dereliction of i ts duty as a

corporate body. It i s clear that there are substantial discrepancies between

them i n the concept of freedom.
