Description
Beginning in the 1970s and continuing until this past year, there has been a strong and consistent tendency at the FCC to move away from program content regulation--and to place primary reliance on marketplace forces and on editorial decision-making within the private sector. In 2004, however, the Commission has moved on a number of fronts to consider the possible implementation of new and more rigorous policies governing content. In this brief Essay, the Authors will discuss: (1) the deregulatory trend that began in the 1970s, (2) beefed-up regulatory actions taken in the past year (specifically, in the fields of indecency and children's TV) and (3) other regulatory initiatives that are slated for consideration in the areas of violence and localism.
