   Government denies interfering in state-owned media work

   By Shih Hsiu-Chuan
   STAFF REPORTER
   Sunday, Oct 12, 2008, Page 3
   The Government Information Office (GIO) yesterday released a
   statement, denying accusations made by the International
   Federation of Journalists’ (IFJ) that it has interfered in the
   nation’s state-owned media.

   The GIO said in a statement that an article posted on the IFJ Web
   site titled IFJ Condemns Government Interference in Taiwan Media
   had cited “unverified information” and was an “incorrect
   report.” The GIO said that it has instructed Taiwan’s
   representative office in Australia to “clarify the facts” and
   “demand a correction of the misleading article.”

   “Since the Chinese Nationalist Party [KMT] government took office
   on May 20, it has never interfered with personnel decisions at the
   state-owned Central News Agency [CNA], Radio Taiwan International
   [RTI] and Taiwan Public Television Service [PTS], their operations
   or news coverage by their reporters,” the GIO statement said.

   The GIO issued the rebuttal in response to a statement posted by
   the IFJ on its Web site on Oct 9.

   The IFJ said it had learned that the GIO demanded that CNA
   withdraw a story critical of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) and
   altered reports about milk powder imported from China that was
   contaminated with melamine.

   The GIO was also implicated after Cheng Yu (鄭優), the chairman of
   RTI, Taiwan’s state-owned broadcaster, claimed that the
   government had asked RTI not to broadcast reports that were too
   critical of China, the IFJ said.

   The IFJ also criticized the KMT government for appointing Lo
   Chih-chiang (羅智強), a former spokesperson for Ma’s campaign, to
   the position of deputy president of CNA and nominating four KMT
   legislators to new positions on the supervisory board for PTS.

   The IFJ condemned the apparent interference in state-owned media
   and urged government authorities to refrain from further acts that
   could jeopardize editorial independence.

   In its rebuttal, the GIO said Lo was appointed by the board of CNA
   and not the GIO, adding that Cheng had expressed the intention to
   resign since May 20 and offered his resignation on Oct. 1.

   The GIO said the IFJ’s accusation that the government had
   interfered in personnel decisions at PTS was not true because the
   four lawmakers were appointed to a commission in charge of
   reviewing the board members of PTS. The commission members were
   chosen in accordance with the percentage of seats in the
   legislature held by political parties and were decided by the
   legislature.
