Document Summary
Cse 3801: chapter 3: freedom of speech- dr. barbara mcnamara. The traditional three-part framework for first amendment protection and government regulation of communications media that developed in the united states in the 20th century is composed of three categories: Print media (newspaper, books, magazines, and pamphlets) This first category has the strongest first amendment protection. Licenses for broadcasting must meet government standards of merit --- a requirement that would not be tolerated for publishers because of the obvious threat to freedom of expression. The federal government frequently promises requirements to reduce violence on television or increase programming for children, but the government cannot impose such requirements on print publishers. Common carriers (telephones, telegraph, and the postal system) Common carriers provide a medium of communication and must make their service available to everyone. In some cases, the government requires them to provide universal access (i. e. , to subsidize service for people with low incomes).
