TOKYO, Dec 15 Asia Pulse - A Japanese Ministry of Communications discussion group on protecting freedom of expression decided Tuesday not to propose establishment of an independent agency regulating broadcasting.
In compiling a report at its final meeting, the group failed to include specific conclusions on broadcasting regulation.
The discussion body was formed last December after the Democratic Party of Japan pledged to shift the responsibility of regulating communications and broadcasting from the Communications Ministry to an independent entity similar to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
Tuesday's report stated that "the issue would not be solved by formation of an organization alone" and that "independent efforts by concerned parties" are essential in protecting freedom of speech.
