    Media Ownership Rules

    05-Sadler.qxd 2/3/2005 12:47 PM Page 101 5 MEDIA OWNERSHIP RULES It is the purpose of this Act, among other things, to maintain control of the United States over all the channels of interstate and foreign radio transmission, and to provide for the use of such channels, but not the ownership thereof, by persons for limited periods of time, under licenses granted by Federal author- ity, and no such license shall be construed to create any right, beyond the terms, conditions, and periods of the license. —Section 301, Communications Act of 1934 he Communications Act of 1934 reestablished the point that the public airwaves were “scarce.” They were considered a limited and precious resource and T therefore would be subject to government rules and regulations. As the Supreme Court would state in 1943,“The radio spectrum simply is not large enough to accommodate everybody. There is a fixed natural limitation upon the number of stations that can operate without interfering with one another.”1 In reality, the airwaves are infinite, but the govern- ment has made a limited number of positions available for use. In the 1930s, the broadcast industry grew steadily, and the FCC had to grapple with the issue of broadcast station ownership. The FCC felt that a diversity of viewpoints on the airwaves served the public interest and was best achieved through diversity in station ownership. Therefore, to prevent individuals or companies from controlling too many broadcast stations in one area or across the country, the FCC eventually instituted ownership rules. These rules limit how many broadcast stations a person can own in a single market or nationwide.

    A USER ENVIRONMENT FOR SYNDICATING AND AGGREGATING MAP-INTEGRATED AUDIO TOURS: MAPODWALK CASTER Ken’ichi Tsuruoka [email protected] Masatoshi Arikawa [email protected] Center for Spatial Information Science The University of Tokyo Kashiwanoha-5-1-5, Kashiwa City, Chiba, Japan Abstract In this paper, we focus on providing users new environment for syndicating and aggregating audio tours with animated maps over the Internet. Geotagged photos nowadays are getting popular as one of the spatial content on the Internet in the revolution of Where 2.0. However, this single media of photo often has some difficulty to represent users’ sequential stories and their context. On the other hand, audio streams are able to contain sequential stories and their context effectively. But users have difficulty on syndicating place-related audio streams compared with geotagged photos because there is no user-friendly environment for sharing audio streams with geotags. We have implemented maPodWalk Caster to solve the problems of syndicating and aggregating geotagged audio tours. The platform provides a place-related aggregation by storing geotagged audio stream and new experiments on place-related audio stream sharing opportunities for geospatial communication. 1. Introduction There are web-based broadcasting content called Podcast. It allows people to create and distribute various kinds of audio content for their interest such as ones for introducing a person’s interest. The large number of free Podcast is increasing on the Internet for commercial and non-commercial purposes. Some Podcast is made for guiding and telling stories about the real world. This kind of Podcast is often called PodWalk.

Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. “Blog” can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Facebook Facebook is a social networking site, allowing individuals, companies, organizations, and associations to post text, video, pictures, links to other web content and combinations of all these electronic media.

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.
