読売新聞は、福島第一原子力発電所の事故の避難指示解除をめぐって、福島県・いわき支局の男性記者(25)が取材せずに他紙の記事を後追いし、楢葉町の松本幸英町長の談話を捏造していたとして、3月15日付朝刊におわび記事を掲載した。談話部分を削除し、記者を懲戒処分するとしている。

同紙によると、記者が談話を捏造したのは、7日付夕刊と8日付朝刊一部地域で掲載された「帰還しない職員 昇格・昇給なし 楢葉町長」という記事。東京電力福島第一原発事故による避難指示が2015年9月に解除された松本町長が、2016年11月の庁議などで「避難先から帰還しない職員は昇格・昇給させないようにする」との趣旨の発言をしたという内容だった。

記者は7日朝、他紙の朝刊に掲載されたこの内容の記事を参考に、町や町長などに確認しないまま記事を捏造した。記者は「締め切りが迫る中、取材しないまま安易に書いてしまった」と話しているという。

読売新聞は「重大な記者倫理違反と認識している」とする15日のおわび記事で「さらに記者教育を徹底して再発防止に取り組み、信頼回復に努めます」と記した。

楢葉町はハフィントンポストの取材に対し、町側が7日昼に読売新聞のウェブ版に掲載された記事の談話に疑問を持ち、同社側に問い合わせたと説明。同町は「誠に遺憾であります。震災以降、マスコミとは互いに信頼、協力のもと取材対応をしてきましたが、その信頼を失い、さらに被災地から発信される情報の信憑性へも影響しかねないと考えます。今後とも報道倫理に基づき、適切な取材をされることを希望します」とのコメントを出した。

Caption: John wears his grandson’s bowler hat\nStory: It was in the afternoon. I was sitting on my grandpa’s couch. The door was slightly open, and I saw light coming through, washed out between the white door and white walls. All of a sudden it all started making sense. I could relate what I was seeing with what I felt. John and Prova, my grandparents. Growing up, I found much love and care from them. They were young and strong.\n\nAs time went by, it shaped everything in its own way. Bodies took different forms and relations went distant. Grandma’s hair turned gray, the walls started peeling off and the objects were all that remained. Everything was contained into one single room. They always love the fact that I take pictures of them because then I spend more time with them, and they don’t feel lonely anymore. After Prova passed away, I try to visit more so John can talk. He tells me stories of their early life, and how they met. There are so many stories. Here, life is silent, suspended. Everything is on a wait; A wait for something that I don’t completely understand.\n (credit:Sarker Protick, Bangladesh)

Caption: When spores of the fungus land on an ant, they penetrate its exoskeleton and enter its brain, compelling the host to leave its normal habitat on the forest floor and scale a nearby tree. Filled to bursting with fungus, the dying ant fastens itself to a leaf or another surface. Fungal stalks burst from the ant\'s husk and rain spores onto ants below to begin the process again.
