Some of my conversations in Richard Kim for Governor, e.g. regarding Media Reform.

Kandie Kato: I want to know How and What you intend to reform with the media. And what basic right are you speaking of. How, specifically, would you address any problems?

Richard Kim for Governor:
Specifics can always be changed, if, after I get elected.
That is why I don’t want to go in to much details, although I do have some ideas.
For example, (which is only my thought at this time), in media reform, we can think of a rating system like health dept rating on restaurants.
But, among other things, we may need to be careful who and which dept would determine the rating. Because, I don’t want any government agency to handle them, due to possible conflict of interest.
Maybe, third party like, my prospective non government agency, “Aloha Dept” may be a good choice.
But, there are tons of sensitive corresponding and/or other issues we may have to deal, in order to make it work; so I would not state any more at this time.
One reason is because we may also need to find a way to guarantee media’s free press right and freedom of speech, while we control and make sure that they do not overuse or abuse their power.
Simply, it can become very sensitive; so I would want to not discuss details til and after I get elected. But, the need of “media reform” is no question, and is very necessary; and it would be one of my priorities.
Thanks for your question.
