Abstract

Soon after the Korean War broke out in June 1950, the United States carried out two kinds of propaganda broadcasts : "Voice of United Natrons Command " produced in Tokyo, and "Voice of America," relayed from New York. Both made use of NHK equipment. This study investigates the circumstances of these propaganda broadcasts. Although domestic laws prohibited foreign governments from using NHK equipment, directives issued by GHQ/SCAP made it possible. This continued even after Japan became independent again. The role of NHK as a public service was seriously compromised as a result of its being used for the purpose of the war.
