00:00If we refer to the ethical code of journalism that has been established, we do affirm that journalists have the right to confidential sources.
00:12It is not a problem.
00:14At the same time, as I have mentioned before, I appeal to the police to cooperate.
00:21Because in terms of regulation, if there is a police report, the police need to conduct an investigation.
00:28So some argue that the questioning is not necessary in the first place.
00:32They have the right to question.
00:35Even though the police have the right to question, but won't this make our press freedom of speech look bad?
00:42Even though the ranking has fallen?
00:45No. Reporters Without Borders have informed me that honestly,
00:52there are some reporters who disagree with the ranking.
00:57Because if we are on the same level in terms of metrics,
01:01but if there are other countries that have shown progress,
01:05we have fallen in the ranking.
01:08So the ranking does not truly reflect what is actually happening in the country,
01:13rather it is a reflection of everything that is happening in the world.
01:17So if you stay in one place but certain other countries move up,
01:21then it looks like you have gone down.
01:23So we need to know and understand that this ranking is not purely based on the performance of the country.
01:31But it is a relative performance compared to other countries in the RSF.
01:38Second, I insist that reporters have the right to report.
01:44But based on the law, the police also have the right to investigate.
01:50It is not a contradiction.
01:53If we report, and you stand by your report, and you stand by your source,
01:59then when asked, you answer.
02:03There will be no issue.
