González Gaurav Laroia Free Press 1025 Connecticut Avenue, N.W., Suite 1110 Washington, D.C. 20036 Re: Free Press Emergency Petition for Inquiry Into Broadcast of False Information on COVID-19 Dear Counsel: Free Press has filed, under section 1.41 of the Federal Communications Commission’s rules,1 an emergency petition requesting an investigation into broadcasters that have aired the President of the United States’ statements and press conferences regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and related commentary by other on-air personalities. The Petition claims that the President and various commentators have made false statements regarding COVID-19, which Commission licensees have broadcast to the public, and which allegedly have caused or will cause substantial public harm.2 Free Press asks the Commission, under its section 309 public interest authority3 and its rules prohibiting broadcast hoaxes,4 to investigate these broadcasts and adopt emergency enforcement guidance “recommending that broadcasters prominently disclose when information they air is false or scientifically suspect.”5 We deny Free Press’s petition. For the reasons explained below, the Petition misconstrues the Commission’s rules and seeks remedies that would dangerously curtail the freedom of the press embodied in the First Amendment. Free Press, an organization purportedly dedicated to empowering diverse journalistic voices, demands the Commission impose significant burdens on broadcasters that are attempting to cover a rapidly evolving international pandemic in real time and punish those that, in its view, have been insufficiently critical of statements made by the President and others.

  • Reporting Facts: Free from Fear Or Favour
    Reporting Facts: Free from Fear or Favour PREVIEW OF IN FOCUS REPORT ON WORLD TRENDS IN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND MEDIA DEVELOPMENT INDEPENDENT MEDIA PLAY AN ESSENTIAL ROLE IN SOCIETIES. They make a vital contribution to achieving sustainable development – including, topically, Sustainable Development Goal 3 that calls for healthy lives and promoting well-being for all. In the context of COVID-19, this is more important than ever. Journalists need editorial independence in order to be professional, ethical and serve the public interest. But today, journalism is under increased threat as a result of public and private sector influence that endangers editorial independence. All over the world, journalists are struggling to stave off pressures and attacks from both external actors and decision-making systems or individuals in their own outlets. By far, the greatest menace to editorial independence in a growing number of countries across the world is media capture, a form of media control that is achieved through systematic steps by governments and powerful interest groups. This capture is through taking over and abusing: • regulatory mechanisms governing the media, • state-owned or state-controlled media operations, • public funds used to finance journalism, and • ownership of privately held news outlets. Such overpowering control of media leads to a shrinking of journalistic autonomy and contaminates the integrity of the news that is available to the public. However, there is push-back, and even more can be done to support editorial independence

  • Design, Construction and Testing of a Low Energy Digital Frequency Modulation (FM) Transmitter
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 1, January-2020 534 ISSN 2229-5518 Design, Construction and Testing of a Low Energy Digital Frequency Modulation (FM) Transmitter JP. C. Mbagwu, F.M.Ezike, J.O.Ozuomba Abstract---- A rapidly growing demand for the use of Frequency Modulation (FM) transmitter exists within institutions and individuals. The FM transmitters are however a complex equipment demanding high power supply, high voltage system design, critical maintenance and exorbitant price. These problems of the transmitter constitute major impediments to institutions and individuals that may wish to adopt radio broadcast as means of electronic media. This study was therefore carried out to design and construct an FM transmitter that is of low cost, and simple in maintenance, efficient in use and yet operating on low power supply. The FM transmitter is designed to be received at a range of about 100metres in free air. The transmitter has a capacitor microphone which picks up very weak sound signals, a transistor, resistors, inductor, and capacitors. The design procedure involves the modification of an output of the transmitter. Based on the procedures adopted and the tests carried out, the specific findings include a range of 102.2MHz of transmission from a 9V DC battery. The work indicated that the practical frequency modulated (FM) transmitter requiring a low power can be designed and constructed. Index Terms----Frequency Modulation, FM Transmitter, Radio Broadcast, Antenna. 1.0 INTRODUCTION combined in one unit are called a transceiver. The In electronics and telecommunication, a transmitter term transmitter is often abbreviated ‘‘XMTR’’ or or radio transmitter is an electronic device which ‘‘TX’’ in technical documents.

  • The Basic Economics of Internet Infrastructure
    Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 34, Number 2—Spring 2020—Pages 192–214 The Basic Economics of Internet Infrastructure Shane Greenstein his internet barely existed in a commercial sense 25 years ago. In the mid- 1990s, when the data packets travelled to users over dial-up, the main internet T traffic consisted of email, file transfer, and a few web applications. For such content, users typically could tolerate delays. Of course, the internet today is a vast and interconnected system of software applications and computing devices, which society uses to exchange information and services to support business, shopping, and leisure. Not only does data traffic for streaming, video, and gaming applications comprise the majority of traffic for internet service providers and reach users primarily through broadband lines, but typically those users would not tolerate delays in these applica- tions (for usage statistics, see Nevo, Turner, and Williams 2016; McManus et al. 2018; Huston 2017). In recent years, the rise of smartphones and Wi-Fi access has supported growth of an enormous range of new businesses in the “sharing economy” (like, Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb), in mobile information services (like, social media, ticketing, and messaging), and in many other applications. More than 80 percent of US households own at least one smartphone, rising from virtually zero in 2007 (available at the Pew Research Center 2019 Mobile Fact Sheet). More than 86 percent of homes with access to broadband internet employ some form of Wi-Fi for accessing applications (Internet and Television Association 2018). It seems likely that standard procedures for GDP accounting underestimate the output of the internet, including the output affiliated with “free” goods and the restructuring of economic activity wrought by changes in the composition of firms who use advertising (for discussion, see Nakamura, Samuels, and Soloveichik ■ Shane Greenstein is the Martin Marshall Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, Boston, Massachusetts.

MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.

  • Five Principles of New Media: Or, Playing Lev Manovich by Madeleine Sorapure
    Five Principles of New Media: Or, Playing Lev Manovich by Madeleine Sorapure Introduction In The Language of New Media, Lev Manovich proposes five “principles of new media”—to be understood “not as absolute laws but rather as general tendencies of a culture undergoing computerization.” The five principles are numerical representation, modularity, automation, variability, and transcoding. I focus on Manovich’s work because I believe it effectively examines the materiality of new media—that is, the influence of the computer’s interface and operations, its logic and ontology, on the production, distribution, and reception of new media. This article offers an interactive explanation and demonstration of the five principles of new media, particularly as they apply to teaching writing, and drawing on work done by students in my Winter 2003 “Writing in New Media” course. Students in the course worked on three projects—two in Photoshop, one in Flash—and they wrote three project reports in which they commented on their own work as well as on theories of new media that we were reading and discussing in class. Text and images are included here with the students’ permission, along with links to some of the Flash projects they composed. The menu to the left allows you to navigate through the article. On all of the screens, you can rollover and/or click on buttons and images to make things happen and to make text visible. Directions at the top of each screen should help you determine how to proceed. 1. Numerical representation Because all new media objects are composed of digital code, they are essentially numerical representations.
