  • The Rise of Controversial Content in Film
    The Climb of Controversial Film Content by Ashley Haygood Submitted to the Department of Communication Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Communication at Liberty University May 2007 Film Content ii Abstract This study looks at the change in controversial content in films during the 20th century. Original films made prior to 1968 and their remakes produced after were compared in the content areas of profanity, nudity, sexual content, alcohol and drug use, and violence. The advent of television, post-war effects and a proposed “Hollywood elite” are discussed as possible causes for the increase in controversial content. Commentary from industry professionals on the change in content is presented, along with an overview of American culture and the history of the film industry. Key words: film content, controversial content, film history, Hollywood, film industry, film remakes i. Film Content iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support during the last three years. Without their help and encouragement, I would not have made it through this program. I would also like to thank the professors of the Communications Department from whom I have learned skills and information that I will take with me into a life-long career in communications. Lastly, I would like to thank my wonderful Thesis committee, especially Dr. Kelly who has shown me great patience during this process. I have only grown as a scholar from this experience. ii.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2015 Elvis Duran: Hosts ‘More Important Than Ever.’ Streaming music services may have stiffened competition for radio’s share of ear but they’ve done nothing to diminish the role of on-air personalities. In fact, the opposite is true, according to Elvis Duran, radio’s most listened-to top 40 morning man, in an exclusive interview with Inside Radio. “It makes us radio hosts more important than ever,” says the “Z100” WHTZ, New York-based Duran of the syndicated “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.” “Even though we have a whole world of music at our fingertips, having a human connect you to the music is still very important. We are the people who add the human connectivity to music and musicians.” Duran also extols digital platforms in the discussion, praising them for giving personalities more ways to connect with the audience. Snapchat is a favorite among his show’s cast members. “It really is as close to the radio experience as you can get with any social media right now,” he says. “It is personable and it is of the moment; it is on and then 24 hours later it is gone. There is a sense of urgency to it.” Duran, who will be inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame Nov. 5, explains how he and his cohosts work product mentions into the show so seamlessly. “A lot of times, we go to the sales department and say, ‘I have found myself using this product more and more.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACTS: March 12, 2004 Janice Wise (202) 418-7450 COMMISSION PROPOSES STATUTORY MAXIMUM FORFEITURE OF $247,500 AGAINST CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS FOR APPARENT VIOLATIONS OF INDECENCY RULE Washington, D.C. – The Federal Communications Commission today issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture against three subsidiaries of Clear Channel Communications for apparently airing indecent material. The material at issue was aired in connection with the “Elliot in the Morning” program on Stations WWDC(FM), Washington, D.C., WRXL(FM), Richmond, Virginia, and WOSC(FM), Bethany Beach, Delaware. The Commission proposed the statutory maximum forfeiture of $27,500 for each of nine apparent indecency violations. The Commission found nine apparent indecency violations that involved graphic and explicit sexual material, and were designed to pander to, titillate and shock listeners. The Commission proposed the statutory maximum forfeiture amount because of Clear Channel’s history of violations relating to the broadcast of indecent material.

    631 RICHARD & WEINERT 2/28/2013 3:57 PM PUNTING IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT‘S RED ZONE: THE SUPREME COURT‘S ―INDECISION‖ ON THE FCC‘S INDECENCY REGULATIONS LEAVES BROADCASTERS STILL SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS Robert D. Richards* & David J. Weinert** I. INTRODUCTION Just one week before rendering its controversial landmark decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act1— arguably the most anticipated ruling of the October 2011 Term—the U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped the longstanding question of whether the First Amendment, given today‘s multifaceted media landscape, no longer permits the Federal Communications Commission to regulate broadcast indecency on the nation‘s airwaves. The Court‘s narrow ruling in FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc.2 (―Fox II‖) let broadcasters off the hook for the specific on-air transgressions that brought the case to the Court‘s docket— twice3—but did little to resolve the larger looming issue of whether such content regulations have become obsolete. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for a unanimous Court, instead concluded that ―[t]he Commission failed to give Fox or ABC fair notice prior to the broadcasts in question that fleeting expletives and momentary nudity could be found actionably indecent.‖4 As a result of this lack of notice, ―the Commission‘s standards as applied * John & Ann Curley Professor of First Amendment Studies and Founding Director of the Pennsylvania Center for the First Amendment at The Pennsylvania State University.
