Missed Connections: One Failed Attempt To Ease Restrictions On Bell Operating Companies, Jeffrey Walker Dec 1994

Missed Connections: One Failed Attempt To Ease Restrictions On Bell Operating Companies, Jeffrey Walker

Federal Communications Law Journal

The divestiture of AT&T in 1983 began a revolution in telephone service, ending the communications giant's monopoly and sparking industry competition and lower telephone rates for consumers. However, the Modified Final Judgment, the court decision governing the Bell Operating Companies created in the wake of the divestiture, severely limits phone companies' ability to offer diverse communications products and to pursue customers outside their immediate geographic area. More than a decade after the landmark decision to limit AT&T's monopoly, the District Court for the District of Columbia remains the sole regulator of this segment of the communications industry. This Note argues …


Privacy Vs. Convenience: The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tax System Modernization, E. Maria Grace Dec 1994

Privacy Vs. Convenience: The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Tax System Modernization, E. Maria Grace

Federal Communications Law Journal

The Internal Revenue Service has launched the Tax System Modernization (TSM) program, a $23 billion plan to modernize its computer and information systems. TSM will be the largest computer upgrade ever undertaken by the federal government. Like any other computer network, TSM will inevitably be threatened by computer viruses, professional eavesdroppers, power outages, natural disasters, and human error. Given the sensitive nature of tax returns, the IRS has the difficult task of modernizing its data collection procedures and telecommunications facilities without risking the privacy of taxpayers and offending the security measures required by the Privacy Act of 1974, Computer Security …

"Even My Own Mother Couldn't Recognize Me": Television News And Public Understanding, Jane Rhodes Oct 1994

"Even My Own Mother Couldn't Recognize Me": Television News And Public Understanding, Jane Rhodes

Federal Communications Law Journal

Broadcast journalists face conflicting responsibilities: the need to attract a large audience through visually entertaining products versus the need to present information that enhances public understanding. The Author argues that the media's social responsibility has become blurred in recent years as competition within the broadcast industry has increased. To keep the ratings up, many journalists are trying to force information into catchy sound bites without thinking about how such dissemination distorts that information. The Author argues that in spite of the increasing competition faced by broadcast journalists, they need to examine their professional practice and personal biases closely, with an …


The Soul Of A News Machine: Electronic Journalism In The Twenty-First Century, David Bartlett Oct 1994

The Soul Of A News Machine: Electronic Journalism In The Twenty-First Century, David Bartlett

Federal Communications Law Journal

As new technologies reshape elemental aspects of our nation's communications system, the basic assumptions about how the system will be used to gather and distribute the news will, by necessity, need to be reexamined. Some working in journalism and communications are excited by the opportunities arising from the changing circumstances, while others fear the repercussions of setting new precedent. Whatever the perspective, it will be impossible for anyone to escape the relentless process of change. The Author begins with an intuitive vision of the landscape of electronic journalism in the twenty-first century. While the pace of change will herald an …


The Fairness Doctrine: A Solution In Search Of A Problem, Adrian Cronauer Oct 1994

The Fairness Doctrine: A Solution In Search Of A Problem, Adrian Cronauer

Federal Communications Law Journal

The "Fairness Doctrine" refers to a former policy of the Federal Communications Commission wherein a broadcast station which presented one viewpoint on a controversial public issue had to afford the opposing viewpoint an opportunity to be heard. The FCC ceased to enforce the doctrine in 1987, reasoning that the doctrine actually decreased the viewpoints heard by discouraging broadcasters from covering controversial issues out of fear of censure by the FCC. The Author explores the historical development of the Fairness Doctrine and examines the flaws with the different rationales upon which the doctrine is based. The Autho concludes that today's marketplace …
