At a press conference in Washington with FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein, the groups called for a crackdown on stations that present corporate-sponsored videos as genuine news to an unsuspecting audience. CMD, which unveiled the results of a 10-month investigation, found scores of local stations slipping commercial “video news releases,” or VNRs, into their regular news programming. The new multimedia report released today includes footage of 36 separate VNRs and their broadcast as “news” by TV stations and networks nationwide, including those in the nation’s biggest markets. The full report -- “Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed” -- is now available complete with VNR and TV station video footage at www.prwatch.org/fakenews/execsummary.

  • NAB Reply Comments Re: Localism
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 ) In the Matter of ) ) MB Docket No. 04-233 Broadcast Localism ) ) REPLY COMMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS 1771 N Street, NW Washington, DC 20036 (202) 429-5430 Marsha J. MacBride Jane E. Mago Jerianne Timmerman Larry A. Walke Erin L. Dozier Scott A. Goodwin NAB Legal Interns Tyler Baker Maria Kaminska Erin McLauthlin June 11, 2008 Executive Summary The National Association of Broadcasters (“NAB”) hereby submits its reply comments in response to the Commission’s Report on Broadcast Localism and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Notice”). As NAB stated in its initial comments, and as thousands of commenters, both broadcasters and third parties, have now shown, radio and television broadcasters are closely connected with their local communities and provide a wealth of community-responsive programming. The record in this proceeding demonstrates that local stations acknowledge and embrace their obligation to serve the public interest every day. Local broadcasters offer valuable local and national news, political, public affairs and other informational programming, vital emergency information and entertainment to viewers and listeners free of charge. They also provide additional, unique community service, including giving a voice to local organizations and raising monies for charities, local groups and causes and needy individuals. Broadcasters actively participate in their local communities – they work hard to understand the needs and interests of their audiences and to provide programming every day to address those needs. Moreover, as demonstrated by commenters in this proceeding, serving the needs of local communities is the cornerstone of the broadcasting business.

  • History of the Liberty Corporation
    History of The Liberty Corporation 1905 On November 3, Southeastern Life Insurance Company was chartered with offices at 47 Morgan Street in Spartanburg, South Carolina. 1910 In March, Southeastern moved their headquarters to Greenville, South Carolina. 1919 On October 13, W. Frank Hipp, a former Southeastern agent, established the Liberty Life Insurance Company, with its home office in Greenville, South Carolina. 1926 Liberty Life had almost $6 million insurance in force. 1929 With the help of his long-time associate H. L. Vogel, Hipp had built the new firm into the one of the largest weekly premium insurance companies in the nation by this time. The company had $28 million insurance in force. 1930 In January, Liberty Life absorbed the Great American Life Insurance Company, and later that year, Charleston's People's Life became part of Liberty Life. In November, Liberty Life purchased radio station WIS in Columbia, South Carolina. (Liberty Life briefly owned three other radio stations during the 1930s: WCSC in Charleston, South Carolina; WTFI in Athens, Georgia; and WNOX in Knoxville, Tennessee.) Hipp created the new Independence Insurance Company to handle a small line of health and accident insurance that had become unpopular with Liberty agents. 1931 In March, Hipp rescued Southeastern Life Insurance Company from financial ruin when he purchased the controlling interest of the company from the huge Tennessee investment firms of Caldwell and Company who went bankrupt. 1933 A joint management team brought Southeastern Life and The Liberty Life together. W. Frank Hipp served as president of both while the companies continued to operate separately.
