[The Hankyoreh, July 30 2008] Prosecutors indicts “PD Notebook” producers

‘Prosecution is the proxy of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries,’ MBC says

Prosecutors have announced that “The Producer’s Notebook,” the current affairs television program produced by national broadcaster MBC, distorted certain facts in an investigative report about mad cow disease broadcast on April 29. The investigation began after the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries asked the prosecution to look into whether the program had defamed the agriculture minister. Prosecutors were believed to have indicted the program’s producers without arrest on charges of defamation.
