In his book ''Broadcasting Politics in Japan: NHK and Television News'', Ellis S. Krauss states: 'In the 1960s and 1970s, external critics of NHK news were complaining about the strict neutrality, the lack of criticism of the government, and the 'self-regulation in covering events'. Krauss claims that little had changed by the 1980s and 1990s.<ref>{{cite book |first=Ellis S. |last=Krauss |title=Broadcasting Politics in Japan: NHK and Television News |publisher=Cornell University Press |date=2000 |pages=39–40}}</ref> After the [[Fukushima nuclear disaster]] in 2011, NHK was criticised for underplaying the dangers from [[radioactive contamination]].{{Failed verification|date=September 2023}}
