The Expanding Constitutional Protection For The News Media From Liability For Defamation: Predictability And The New Synthesis, Michigan Law Review
The Expanding Constitutional Protection For The News Media From Liability For Defamation: Predictability And The New Synthesis, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The tort of defamation has a long and complex history dating back to the sixteenth century. Though this tort from the very beginning did not find favor with the law courts, it has managed to survive into the second half of the twentieth century. But this survival may not endure much longer since the Supreme Court has found a deep conflict between the law of defamation and the first amendment. The reasons for this conflict and the Supreme Court's basic resolution of it in favor of first amendment values have been the subject of much scholarly comment, but the Court's …
Comparative Broadcast Licensing Procedures And The Rule Of Law: A Fuller Investigation, Michael Botein
Comparative Broadcast Licensing Procedures And The Rule Of Law: A Fuller Investigation, Michael Botein
Scholarly Works
Professor Botein examines the validity of Professor Fuller's widely read but seldom criticized theory that traditional administrative adjudication is unsuited to resolve certain kinds of social tasks, which Fuller had labeled "polycentric problems." Professor Botein focuses upon Professor Fuller's example of the FCC's comparative licensing procedure as a problem unsuited to adjudication. Taking as his starting point Professor Fuller's criticism of the FCC -- a criticism Fuller never tested against the Commission's actual operations -- Professor Botein examines Fuller's theory of polycentricity by analyzing its contents, applying it to concrete situations, and exploring whether there exists any alternatives better than …
The New Catv Rules: Proceed On Delayed Yellow, Roscoe L. Barrow
The New Catv Rules: Proceed On Delayed Yellow, Roscoe L. Barrow
Vanderbilt Law Review
Elites largely govern our nation's current decision-making process.The average citizen's failure to participate in that process perhaps derives largely from his inability to inform himself adequately on all the issues. However, the ability of cable television (CATV) to place each person in complete command of his informational and entertainment environment has thrust society upon the threshold of an electronic communications revolution. Indeed, if CATV is allowed to develop its full potential, the individual will not have to receive information and entertainment passively. Rather, CATV's virtue of two-way communication will permit him to transmit as well as receive information. His access …

Broadcasting's Fairness Doctrine- An Illogical Extension Of The Red Lion Concept
Broadcasting's Fairness Doctrine- An Illogical Extension Of The Red Lion Concept
University of Richmond Law Review
Television and radio advertising is fully accepted in our society as part and parcel of the American way of life. The business community of this country spends billions of dollars annually on commercials, attempting to convince Americans that they have an immediate and pressing need for products as diverse as panty hose and snow tires, roll-on deodorant and chain saws. In bad taste to some, boring or amusing to others, one thing these commercials have not been, is controversial. Should the United States Supreme Court uphold a recent District of Columbia Court of Appeals decision, the day may not be …
Broadcasting, The Reluctant Dragon: Will The First Amendment Right Of Access End The Suppressing Of Controversial Ideas?, Donald M. Malone
Broadcasting, The Reluctant Dragon: Will The First Amendment Right Of Access End The Suppressing Of Controversial Ideas?, Donald M. Malone
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The scope of this article will be limited to one aspect of electronic media programming-the extent to which the public is and should be exposed to an accurate cross section of public opinion and a broad range of controversial ideas. Many people, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), have acknowledged that a desirable goal for the broadcast media, particularly television, is to provide a marketplace for controversial ideas. Part II of this article will identify the principal reasons why that goal has not been achieved. Part III will examine the fairness doctrine, the antecedents of which have been traced back …
Drug Songs And The Federal Communications Commission, Sammuel Bufford
Drug Songs And The Federal Communications Commission, Sammuel Bufford
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
A "public notice" concerning the broadcasting of drug-related popular songs by radio stations issued from the Federal Communications Commission on March 5, 1971. While this notice could be generally taken to prohibit the playing of such songs, its actual message, upon further analysis, is more complex and less direct. This article will examine the notice to ascertain its likely meaning, determine its legal status, and examine three constitutional issues it raises: whether the songs are protected as speech under the first amendment; whether the statement of the prohibition (if that be the import of the notice) is sufficiently precise to …
