The purpose of this paper is to analyze the qualification system for journalists in Japan by examining the interwar period. Once the newspaper industry became large-scale, journalists claimed the socioeconomic status governed by the license, as had happened in the United States. But protection and control are two sides of the same coin. Journalist protections could be transformed into restrictions, as happened in Germany and Italy, when war approached. This system was introduced in Japan at the time of World War II.
