The Unfairness Doctrine - Balance And Response Over The Airwaves, Steven J. Simmons

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The "fairness doctrine" requires broadcast licensees to devote a reasonable percentage of their programming to controversial issues of public importance, and to present contrasting viewpoints when such issues are aired. The author concentrates on the requirement to present contrasting viewpoints, discussing the case law and policy guidelines that have emerged and concluding that in its present form the doctrine operates unfairly to both viewers and broadcasters. He suggests specific proposals for improvement.

The Equal Opportunities And Fairness Doctrines In Broadcasting: Should They Be Retained, Roscoe L. Barrow

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The author recently testified in the current hearings conducted by the U.S. House Subcommittee on Communications in which repeal of the Equal Opportunities and Fairness Doctrines is being considered. In this article the author discusses the constitutional bases of these doctrines, the governmental action issue in the event of their repeal, and whether the Fairness Doctrine inhibits broadcast journalism. He suggests a differential equality of access solution to the present problem of application of the Equal Opportunities Doctrine and argues that the need of the people to know should continue to be a right through the Fairness Doctrine.

Libel: Taskett V. King Broadcasting Co.--A New Washington Standard, Roy W. Kent

Seattle University Law Review

In Taskett v. KING Broadcasting Co., the Washington Supreme Court reevaluated the constitutional limits on libel law with regard to private individuals involved in matters of public interest, and held that private individuals can recover damages "on a showing that in publishing the statement, the defendant knew or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known that the statement was false." In adopting the reasonable care standard, the Washington Supreme Court sought to achieve an equitable balance between the media's first amendment rights of free speech and press and the state's interest in compensating private citizens for harm …

The Future Of Evidence Law: Or, Some Prophecies About Proof, John W. Reed

Other Publications

I am honored to participate in this seminar that is part of the celebration surrounding the dedication of Colorado's new State Judicial Building. But that feeling of honor is tempered by an awareness of the responsibility and perils of the role I have been asked to play. With the assignment, "The Future of Evidence Law," I have been asked to play the prophet, to be a seer of sorts, and to suggest what rules and principles will govern proof at trials at some date in the future. Exactly what date was not specified in the invitation-a decade, perhaps? A generation? …

Fred E. Inbau: 'The Importance Of Being Guilty', Yale Kamisar

Articles

As fate would have it, Fred Inbau graduated from law school in 1932, the very year that, "for practical purposes the modern law of constitutional criminal procedure [began], with the decision in the great case of Powell v. Alabama."1 In "the 'stone age' of American criminal procedure,"2 Inbau began his long fight to shape or to retain rules that "make sense in the light of a policeman's task,"3 more aware than most that so long as the rules do so, "we will be in a stronger position to insist that [the officer] obey them."4

University of Dayton Law Review

State ex rel. Dayton Newspapers v. Phillips, 46 Ohio St. 2d 457, 351 N.E.2d 127 (1976).

Sensational crimes are often the focal point of extensive news coverage. If the media's reporting is objective, it may not significantly infringe upon the defendant's right to a fair trial as guaranteed by the fifth and sixth amendments. Extensive pretrial publicity, however, necessarily raises the possibility of prejudice, even though the information reported may be true. Despite the fact that the coverage may have resulted from the defendant's misdeeds, he is nevertheless entitled to be tried by persons who have not prejudged his case. …
