Abstract
The profiles outlined analyze the impacts of individual advocates and advocacy groups on network television content and advertising support. Two media reform issues are discussed in depth: content-blind commercial purchasing and advocacy-staffed standards departments. The author asserts that though the described incidents demonstrate that advocacy group boycotts have had varied success in influencing the programming content of network television, their aggregate impact has been substantial.
