Low power television and the doctrine of localism: The need to reconcile a medium with its message

Journal Article

Eric D. Berkowitz
University of San Francisco Law Review
18 505-533

Topic(s) of work
FCC

Abstract

In this article, Berkowitz places the (then) new technology of low power television within the context of the localism principle. The article provides a useful (if somewhat dated) grounding in the FCC’s approach to localism, particularly in terms of illustrating the FCC’s traditional (though increasingly questioned) assumption that programming services based locally will be more effective in terms of producing content that addresses local interests and concerns.
