Newspaper Business Act

Japanese: 新聞事業令 - しんぶんじぎょうれい

Imperial Ordinance No. 1107 of 1941. This is a regulation on the newspaper industry that was issued in December 1941 as part of the strengthening of wartime control. After the promulgation of the National Mobilization Law in 1963, control on the newspaper industry was further strengthened. However, the newspaper industry association "Shinbunren" (Newspaper League), which was established in May 1966, was not necessarily cooperative with the government's proposal for one newspaper per prefecture. Therefore, the government issued this Newspaper Business Order based on the National Mobilization Law, and promoted newspaper integration with the aim of one newspaper per prefecture. It was abolished in October 1945.

昭和 16年勅令 1107号。戦時統制強化のなかで 1941年 12月に公布された新聞界の統制法規。 38年の国家総動員法公布後，新聞界でも統制が一段と強化されていた。しかし，41年5月に設立された新聞業界団体「新聞聯盟」は，政府の1県1紙の提案などに必ずしも協力的でなかった。そこで政府は国家総動員法に基づいてこの新聞事業令を公布し，1県1紙を目指す新聞統合を促進した。 45年 10月廃止。
