Piety* The commercial speech doctrine, the doctrine establishing a subcategory of protected speech under the First Amendment, has been under increased fire, most prominently in 2003 with Nike v. Kasky, but also in other cases around the country covering a variety of contexts. A key distinguishing attribute of the commercial speech doctrine is that it permits the government to regulate the speech that it covers for its truth. This is precisely what the government may not regulate in the area of political and expressive speech. Many critics would like to see the commercial speech doctrine done away with altogether. They argue commercial speech should be treated like political and expressive speech under the First Amendment. Professor Piety has argued elsewhere that subjecting commercial speech to the same strict scrutiny as political and expressive speech would have far reaching negative consequences. In this Article, Professor Piety addresses a narrower concern: the argument that (assuming efforts to eliminate it altogether fail) the commercial speech doctrine’s application should be expressly limited to “traditional advertising,” excluding corporate speech in the form of public relations. She proposes that this argument is misplaced because the purposes articulated by the Supreme Court in establishing the commercial speech doctrine would be better served by applying it to all marketing-related speech, including public relations.

CONCLUSION .........................................................................................412 Advertising is publicity that a firm pays for; public relations seek publicity that does not require payment to the media for time or space.1 Advertising is the continuation of public relations by other means and should be started only after a PR program has run its course.2 The commercial speech doctrine, the doctrine establishing a subcategory of protected speech under the First Amendment, has been under increased fire, most prominently in 2003 with Nike v. Kasky,3 but also in other cases around the country covering a variety of contexts.4 A key distinguishing attribute of the commercial speech doctrine is that it permits the government to regulate the speech that it covers for its truth. This is precisely what the government may not regulate in the area of political and expressive speech.5 Many critics would like to see the commercial speech doctrine done away with altogether.6 They argue commercial speech should be treated like political and expressive speech 1 MICHAEL SCHUDSON, ADVERTISING, THE UNEASY PERSUASION: ITS DUBIOUS IMPACT ON AMERICAN SOCIETY 100 (1984). 2 AL RIES & LAURA RIES, THE FALL OF ADVERTISING AND THE RISE OF PR xii (2002). 3 539 U.S. 654 (2003). 4 United States v. Wenger, 427 F.3d 840 (10th Cir. 2005) (First Amendment offered as a defense to securities fraud); Whitaker v. Thompson, 353 F.3d 947 (D.C. Cir. 2004) (marketers of saw palmetto who claimed on label that it might be beneficial for prostate condition asserted First Amendment as a defense to FDA action). 5 See, e.g., New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 271−72 (1964) (First Amendment may require government to tolerate even false or erroneous speech in some contexts). 6 See, e.g., Motion for Leave to File Amicus Curiae Brief for the Advancement of Capitalism Supporting Petitioners at 3−11, Nike v. Kasky, 539 U.S. 654 (2003) (No. 02-575) (arguing for reconsideration and abolishment of commercial speech doctrine). The Center for the Advancement of Capitalism actually argued for the reinstatement of the Valentine v. Chrestensen, 316 U.S. 52 (1942) standard which would arguably permit even more regulation of commercial speech than the current doctrine. See infra notes 31–76 and accompanying text.

Kasky case.13 The argument is that the form of communication should dictate its treatment under the doctrine.14 Thus, because the disputed communications in the Nike case were delivered in the form of press releases, letters to the editor, advertorials, issue ads, and the like, Nike and its amici argued that the statements contained therein should be treated as political, and 7 See, e.g., Samuel A.

  • James Beard As an Engenderer
    International Journal of Advances in Philosophy 2018, 2(1): 24-28 DOI: 10.5923/j.ap.20180201.03 James Beard as an Engenderer Marcia R. Pinheiro IICSE University, DE, USA Abstract In this paper, we talk about the existence and influence of James Beard, a very respected expert in food critique and American cuisine. We try to show his impact on our history and society. Keywords Beard, Cooking, Child, Culture 1. Introduction James Beard, or Beard for short, was born in Portland, America, on May 5, 1903 (The Oregon Encyclopedia 2018, para. 2), and died in New York, from heart failure, on the 21st of January of 1985 (The Oregon Encyclopedia 2018, para. 10). Beard’s last cooking class happened in Oregon, 1981, and his last book was Beard on Pasta (1983). The English Mary Elizabeth, and the American John Beard did not have any other kid (The Oregon Encyclopedia 2018, para. 2). The Dean of the American Cookery (The Oregon Encyclopedia 2018, para. 1) ran a cooking show, I Love to Eat, from 1946 to 1947 (The Oregon Encyclopedia 2018, para. 6), and that was the first televised cooking show ever [(American Masters PBS 2017, para. 6), (The Oregon Encyclopedia 2018, para. 1), (Polan 2010, p. 23)]. According to Collins (Collins 2010, p. 1), it was not really seen by many people even because very few had television sets back then (American Masters PBS 2017, 0:46). Beard’s cookbooks have a distinctive and compelling voice in appreciating seasonal and regional food done well, without pretension, for pleasure as much as for sustenance (Polan 2010, p.
