Taiwan Status: Free Legal Environment: 7 Political Environment: 7 Economic Environment: 6 Total Score: 20
Taiwan is known for having one of the freest media environments in East Asia because of its firm commitment to judicial independence and economic freedom. The constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press, and the government generally respects these rights in practice. However, the government announced in February that Taiwan reporters, notorious for their aggressive behavior towards visiting officials and celebrities, will be denied access into restricted areas of CKS International Airport to help protect the island’s image.
In April, a court in Taipei sentenced Kao Nien-yi, a journalist for the United Daily News, to a fine of NT$30,000 (US$1,000) per day for refusing to reveal his sources for an article that allegedly caused the stock of a company to lose two-thirds of its value. The sentence was applied for three days before it was suspended. In September, four journalists were attacked by supporters of President Chen Shui-bian during a pro-Chen demonstration in Taipei. At the same demonstration, a presenter for the satellite channel CTi was physically assaulted for interviewing two deputies in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. In October, the Constitutional Court held that freedom of publication is not an absolute right, stipulating that certain sexually explicit materials are protected only as long as they are properly packaged and labeled. In December, leaders of the ruling party said they were refusing to reply to questions from the China Times, a pro-opposition daily. Print media are completely independent, but electronic media have been subject to government influence through the Government Information Office’s (GIO) authority to regulate broadcast programming and the radio and television licensing process. However, the politically independent National Communications Commission (NCC) replaced the GIO in 2006. Taiwan has over 360 privately owned newspapers, 169 radio stations, and widespread availability of cable and satellite television. Given that most Taiwanese can access about 100 cable television stations, the state’s influence on the media is, on balance, minimal. Legislation approved in 2003 barred the government and political party officials from holding positions in broadcast media companies. Government entities and political parties were required to divest themselves of all radio and broadcast companies by December 2005. In April 2006, the government donated its 70 percent share of China Television System (CTS) to the Public Television Service (PTS). The two companies merged into the Taiwan Broadcasting System (TBS), which was privatized in July.
The government refrains from restricting internet access, which is currently accessible to approximately 63 percent of the population. However, in October 2005, the GIO announced regulations that restricted access to certain internet sites based on an internet content rating to persons 18 years of age or older. Homosexual rights advocacy groups claim that government law enforcement agencies monitored nternet chat room and bulletin-board exchanges between adults. Several NGOs reported that law enforcement officials prosecuted and punished adults for posting sexually suggestive messages.
