記者指名「ＮＧリスト」　ジャニーズは関与否定

　故ジャニー喜多川氏の性加害問題を巡り、ジャニーズ事務所が２日に開いた記者会見で、特定の記者らを指名しないようにする「ＮＧリスト」が存在していたことが４日、分かった。同事務所は関与を否定している。
　同事務所は時事通信の取材に対し、９月３０日の会議で、会見運営を担った外資系ＰＲ会社に「ＮＧ」と書かれた媒体リストを示されたことを認めた。「絶対に当てないとダメです」と事務所側が指摘すると、ＰＲ会社は「では前半ではなく後半で当てるようにします」と答えたという。
　同事務所は「弊社は誰か特定の人を当てないでほしいなどという失礼なお願いはしておりません」としており、ＰＲ会社に謝罪するよう求めたという。（2023/10/05-01:06）

A list was created containing names of some journalists who were not allowed to ask questions at a press conference held by Johnny & Associates Inc. on Monday, it has been learned.
   The Japanese talent agency, currently embroiled in a scandal over sexual abuse by its late founder, Johnny Kitagawa, has denied its involvement in the creation of such a list.
   Talking to Jiji Press on Wednesday, a Johnny & Associates official said that the talent agency was presented with the blacklist at a meeting on Saturday by a foreign-affiliated public relations firm that managed the press conference.
   The official said that the Johnny & Associates side had said that the people on the list must be given the chance to ask questions. The PR firm responded that it would allow questions from the blacklisted journalists in the second half of the press conference, instead of the first half.
   "We've never made any disrespectful requests, such as asking for certain individuals to be ignored during questioning (time)," the official said, adding that the talent agency asked for an apology from the PR firm.
