Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association

Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association, the "Nihon Shinbun Kyokai" (NSK), is an entirely independent and voluntary organization funded and operated by the mass media of Japan. NSK was established on July 23, 1946. Its express purpose is to elevate ethical standards in reporting and protect and promote the media's common interests.
