MAEBASHI, Gunma Pref. -- A Nagoya professor urged a national lawyers' group Thursday to establish a council to specifically deal with victims of the media.
During a symposium here on human rights sponsored by the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, Munenobu Hirakawa, a law professor at Nagoya University, said the best way to protect people from the media is for the media to set up a press council themselves.
