The system of remedies for harm caused by the press lets citizens demand correction of false reports when a news report infringes their reputation, rights or other legal interests.

It is known for short as the Press Arbitration Act. Its purpose is to harmonize press freedom with the press's public responsibility by establishing effective remedies, such as mediation and arbitration, for disputes over reputation, rights or other legal interests infringed by press reports or their distribution.

Under it, people can seek correction through correction reports, reply reports and the Press Arbitration Commission. A correction report revises a report so that it matches the truth when all or part of it is untrue. A reply report is a demand that the outlet publish a rebuttal, regardless of whether the original report is true. The Press Arbitration Commission is the body that mediates and arbitrates disputes over reports and deliberates on infringements; it is provided for in Article 7 of the Act. Through these three, there are broadly three kinds of remedy: administrative, civil and criminal.

Note: The Press Arbitration Act was enacted on January 27, 2005 and took effect on July 28, 2005. Article 14 says a claim for a correction does not require intent, negligence or illegality on the part of the outlet, but under Supreme Court case law the person seeking the correction bears the burden of proving that the report was untrue. The correction, reply and follow-up claims the paper calls 'administrative remedies' are not administrative procedures but remedies created by the Press Arbitration Act, and Article 764 of the Civil Act provides for measures to restore reputation in defamation cases, not a right to a correction report.
