  • Social Checks and Balances: a Private Fairness Doctrine
    ESSAY Social Checks and Balances: A Private Fairness Doctrine Michael P. Vandenbergh∗ This Essay proposes a private standards and certification system to induce media firms to provide more complete and accurate information. It argues that this new private governance system is a viable response to the channelized flow of information that is exacerbating political polarization in the United States. Specifically, this Essay proposes development of a new private fairness doctrine to replace the standard repealed by the Federal Communications Commission in 1987. A broad-based, multistakeholder organization could develop and implement this private fairness doctrine, and the certification process could harness market and social pressure to influence the practices of traditional and new media firms. A growing literature demonstrates how private governance initiatives can perform the functions of government in the environmental, labor, gun control, animal welfare, and fair trade areas. This Essay argues that private governance initiatives such as the new private fairness doctrine can also bolster the social checks and balances that support the processes of democratic governance. Any intervention into the flow of information creates risks, but so does inaction, and the private fairness doctrine holds out the possibility of improving the information available for public discourse while limiting the risks of government intervention. In the long term, the concept of private governance can also stimulate ∗ Professor and David Daniels Allen Distinguished Chair of Law, Vanderbilt University Law School.

  • The Fairness Doctrine Today: a Constitutional Curiosity and an Impossible Dream
    COMMENTS THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE TODAY: A CONSTITUTIONAL CURIOSITY AND AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM THOMAS G. K.RATrENMAKER* AND L. A. POWE, JR.** I. THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE Immediately following the Supreme Court's opinion in Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC,' which sustained the constitutionality of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) Fairness Doctrine,2 a flurry of articles appeared describing how to apply the doctrine vigor- ously to new and different situations.3 Subsequently, especially after the Court's decision in CBS v. DemocraticNational Committee 4 curtailed ac- cess possibilities, and Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo5 refused to sustain right to reply laws for candidates attacked by the print media, most discussions of the Fairness Doctrine have addressed its constitu- tionality.6 While initially interesting, this debate has grown as predict- ably repetitious and unilluminating as a tenth rerun of "Kojak." Furthermore, the debaters appear to have lost track of what the Fairness Doctrine is and how it works. Our purpose is quite simple. We seek to rectify these oversights and, in the process, demonstrate that the Fairness Doctrine is incoherent and unworkable. We will also demonstrate that the doctrine as it oper- * Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center. ** Windfohr Professor of Law, The University of Texas.

FCC'---The fairness doctrine in broadcasting imposes a twofold obligation on television and radio broadcast licensees: licensees must broadcast material concerning controversial issues of public importance, and they must broadcast differing views on those contro- versial issues. 2 The doctrine attempts to ensure that a licensee's total pro- gramming presents balanced coverage of important public issues. 3 The fairness doctrine was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission),`' and was later incorporated into the Communications Act' and validated by the Supreme Court!' While the FCC considered applying the fairness doctrine to commercial advertising for over thirty years,' it did not do so until 1967.

  • Keli Edwards
    Journal of Undergraduate Research Volume 4, Issue 10 - July 2003 Televangelism and Political Ideology: A Study of Content and Ideology in The 700 Club Keli Edwards INTRODUCTION International Christian broadcasters play a significant role in the distribution of both ideological and religious messages and have attracted significant scholarly attention. By far, the international religious broadcaster that has received the most attention from scholars is the Christian Broadcasting Network and its flagship program, The 700 Club. The program has been described as a carrier of right-wing ideologies by several researchers who have examined its content (Gifford, 1991). Its creator, Pat Robertson has skillfully combined religion with politics to form a show that disseminates conservative opinion and news coverage on current events. A framing analysis of this program reveals the conservative political bias of the news stories, while a content analysis offers a numerical description of the extent to which program content deploys this ideology. This study will attempt to answer the following questions: 1) What are the salient content categories of the 700 Club program? 2) What ideologies (political, economic, cultural, religious and social) are emphasized in the 700 Club? METHOD The first step included the viewing and analysis of the 700 Club program for recurring themes and to identify the distinct segments of the show. Once these program segments were identified, a set of categories was created into which each of the program segments could be classified. One constructed sample week of 700 Club programming was selected and recorded for the pilot study. This constructed week included shows aired from May to November 2002, taking care not to repeat any day in the week.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST LESBIAN AND GAY PARENTING Victoria Clarke Loughborough University, Women’s Studies Research Group, Department of Social Sciences, Loughborough, Leicestershire LE 113TU, UK Synopsis — In this article, I explore arguments commonly used to support the claim that lesbians and gay men should not be parents. Thematic analysis of recent media representations of lesbian and gay parenting and six focus groups with university students highlighted the repeated use of a number of ar- guments to oppose lesbian and gay parenting. I critically discuss the six most prevalent in this article. These are: (1) “The bible tells me that lesbian and gay parenting is a sin”; (2) “Lesbian and gay parent- ing is unnatural”; (3) “Lesbian and gay parents are selfish because they ignore ‘the best interests of the child’”; (4) “Children in lesbian and gay families lack appropriate role models”; (5) Children in lesbian and gay families grow up lesbian and gay; and (6) “Children in lesbian and gay families get bullied.” I examine these themes in relation to other debates about lesbian and gay and women’s rights, and high- light the ways in which they reinforce a heterosexual norm. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights re- served. INTRODUCTION from feminist research and theorising on mar- ginal parenting in this paper, by focusing on Feminist research has noted that while moth- the construction of lesbians and gay men as in- erhood is socially constructed as fulfilling and appropriate parents.
