Over the decades, evolving models of international broadcast television and their overt promotion of ‘public sphere’ engagement have sought ‘balance’ in their documentary, news, and current affairs programming, often allowing aggrieved corporate parties a ‘right of reply’. The more controversial and anti-establishment a documentary is perceived, the greater the pressure exerted to censor, discredit, or minimise its impact. Drawing from this larger context, this chapter demonstrates how repeated tropes and patterns of public/private interest have been contested in the arena of nuclear energy policy, most recently evident in the independent documentary responses to the earthquake, tsunami, and reactor meltdowns in Fukushima. It also discusses the problems resulting from this complex balance of power.
