Following witness testimony, the commissioners heard comments from private citizens. The FCC is required by law to hold a public hearing every two years in order to determine which rules governing broadcast ownership are still in the public interest, and eliminate any rules that cannot be properly justified. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/175278-2 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/175278-2 Fri, 28 Feb 2003 22:22:23 GMT The panel was moderated by Mr. Wiley, a former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Seven months after the FCC repealed the Fairness Doctrine, the panelists analyzed the decision. Kamp said the commission decided that the doctrine was a violation of the First Amendment and that it had decreased rather than increased coverage of controversial issues. Schwartzman posed the question, "whose First Amendment right is it?" He argued that it is the right of the public to receive information, not the right of broadcasters. Herwitz commented that the constitutionality of it will be decided in the courts. The panel went on to consider the broader question of broadcast deregulation. After their presentations they responded to audience members' questions. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2577-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/2577-1 Tue, 05 Apr 1988 12:17:51 GMT
