NHK is Japanese international broadcasting company, one of the largest in the world and the largest in Japan. It has abroad 4 general television and radio broadcasting services and many representative offices, which allow the company to quickly cover all the major events taking place in the world. To ensure that the news flow does not end, the company need a huge working staff. However, the more workforce, the more difficult it is to monitor it. Therefore, in recent years the company's history is regularly replenished with new scandalous cases, connected with the employees and the material they are preparing.
So, on August 10, 2010, the producer of NHK's educational programs department Kikue Kenji was arrested for trying to take a photo under the skirt of a girl standing next to him on the train. Later, he tried to justify himself by the fact that in this way he relieved the stress caused by his work. After this incident, the Japanese Internet users gave a new transcript to the abbreviation of NHK- "Japanese criminal organization" (in Japanese 日犯罪 者 協会 協会 (Nihon Hanzaishya Kyoukai)).
Two years later, there was a similar incident with another NHK employee. November 14, 2012 announcer of the program "Good Morning, Japan!" from the NHK channel Takeshige Morimoto was arrested for harassment of a woman on the train. In the end, his "tricks" deprived him of the work.
On February 10, 2016, another scandal was sparked by NHK newscaster, Kenichi Tsukamoto, who was accused of production and keeping drugs. When he was arrested, he claimed that he kept drugs at home for personal use. The case ended in a fine of 500 thousand yen. This case became widely publicized in the Japanese media, and NHK got another blow to its reputation.
This situation with the company's employees affects the quality of the news. One example is the release on the news channel NHK News 7, dedicated to the problem of child poverty, which was broadcast on August 18, 2016. The audience was shown a high school student, who had only written materials worth about 20 thousand yen. Since this fact was not combined with the information being presented, Internet users expressed their distrust of the news broadcast by the NHK. Deputy Satsuki Katayama made an official appeal to the broadcasting corporation with a demand to answer for misinformation. As a result, the corporation apologized, referring to the fact that this misunderstanding was due to lack of information, and the responsible persons were punished with fines and dismissal.
This case perfectly shows that even such broadcast giants as NHK can show a trashy attitude to the quality of their information "products". It is alarming that this company broadcasts not only in Japan, but also in other countries, and verification of the reliability of news material abroad is very difficult. Therefore, at present, no one can bot be completely sure of the veracity of the information broadcast by the NHK. Most likely, this situation is caused by the fact that NHK as one of the largest broadcasting corporations in the world needs a huge working staff, and because of this, proper selection of new employees, control over them, and lack of quality verification of the material for reliability is not sufficient.
If in the future the company's management does not take proper measures, then NHK can completely lose the trust of people, which the company has earned almost 100 years.
