Regulating Broadcast Programming (AEI Studies in Telecommunications Deregulation)

By Thomas G. Krattenmaker and Jr. Krattenmaker, Thomas G. and Lucas A. Powe

Broadcast content regulation has failed miserably, and will continue to fail, claim the authors of Regulating Broadcast Programming, in their comprehensive review of past and present efforts to regulate the content of radio and television. They argue that such regulation should be based on the same principles used for print media, where control of editorial content lies in private hands instead of the government. Access - the ability to reach the willing recipient by the communicator willing to pay the costs - should not be controlled by a third party.
