About this title

Synopsis

New edition of a coursebook that examines the opinions and decisions of the governmental bodies most directly responsible for the laws and regulations that apply to the electronic mass media: Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and the courts. In the first chapters, Carter (mass communication, Boston U.), Marc A. Franklin (law, Stanford U.) and Jay B. Wright (journalism, Syracuse U.) present the legal, technological and economic structure that has produced our system of electronic media regulation. Subsequently, they detail the laws and regulations that apply specifically to the electronic media, and outline some of the more important laws applicable to both print and electronic media.
