Robert Pitofsky is in a Position to Influence a New Doctrine 695 Conclusion 698 Introduction In today's information-hungry society, the mass media is a powerful industry that impacts the lives of most people.1 Almost everyone is exposed to the mass media on a daily basis by reading the newspaper, listening to the radio, or watching television broadcasts. Routinely, the topics of public debate reflect the issues that are addressed by the mass media through its various outlets. When the ownership of media outlets is widely dispersed, the range of new and distinctive ideas is increased. However, this range is greatly restricted when media ownership is highly concentrated. One problem that occurs with a highly concentrated mass media is that journalists are no longer "watchdogs" for society. Historically, journalists have investigated and exposed incidents of illegality in business. When the media is highly concentrated, critics warn that it will not be able to continue this effective "watchdog" role since the trail of some stories will often lead to their own parent companies.

NORTH CAROLINA LAW REVIEW [Vol. 35 Service of Process--Jurisdiction Over Foreign Corporations Three recent decisions, one by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit' and two by the North Carolina Supreme Court,2 focus attention on conflicting views concerning a foreign corporation's amenability to suit in a state where it conducts some activities but is not licensed to do business.3 The North Carolina General Assembly pro- vided by statute for service of process on foreign corporations "not trans- acting business in this State," but which engage in certain specified activity.4 In two of the afore-mentioned decisions, the courts took a restrictive view of state jurisdiction over such corporations and held the statute unconstitutional as applied to the facts of each case;, in the third decision, the statute was upheld.0 An examination of these cases should perhaps be prefaced by a brief consideration of the judicial history of state jurisdiction over foreign corporations.

INSTITUTION Federal Communications Commission, Washington, D.C. PUB DATE 10 Aug 73 NOTE 173p. JOURNAL CIT Federal Communications Conmission Reports; v42 (2d Series)N1 August 10,1973 EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Industry; Certification; Citizen Partic4.pation; Commercial Television; *Equal Opportunities (Jobs); Evaluation; National Surveys; *Networks; Performance; Performance Criteria; *Programing (Broadcast); Television; *Television Surveys IDENTT_FIERS FCC; *Federal Communications Commission; Johnson (Nicholas); United States of America ABSTRACT This report represents the final attempt by outgoing Commissioner Nicholas Johnson to draw attention to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) automatic renewal of licensees guilty of substandard performance. The report analyzes the performance of network affiliates in the top 50 television markets with respect to programing, female and minority employment, and ownership. It seeks to demonstrate the kind of analysis which can be made, to develop minimum standards, and to design an alternative to government regulation by using public disclosure of :;nformation to spur the industry to improve its performance and to motivate the public to challenge substandard licensees. The analyses of performance are based upon public data supplied by licensees to the FCC; in three separate chapters criteria on programing, employment, and ownership are developed from inspections of the data and the stations are rank-ordered according to their performance.it fourth chapter discusses what citizens can do to improve television in their community. Six appendixes and 17 tables provide detailed data on approximately 150 stations.
