Equal time: Origins of section 18 of the radio act of 1927

This study examined the effects of television network affiliation switches that took place in the Miami market in January, 1989. Results indicate viewer loyalty to local news, especially early local news, although not necessarily to local stations, and probably little to network news. Network affiliation results in primetime audiences significantly larger than those of independent stations. The findings demonstrate that structural variables are stable and predictable indicators of audience behavior.     

The impact of ownership rules and the telecommunications act of 1996 on a small radio market

The change in radio ownership rules in 1992 had the greatest effect in markets ranked above 100. The Telecommunications Act could have similar effects. One such market was investigated for this study. A proposed station purchase in this market would give an ownership group four of seven stations in the market, depending on how a market is defined. Petitions to deny were filed. These statements and replies by station owners were analyzed and related to radio in a small market. The ultimate impact was found on the negotiation of advertising rates. Other effects could emerge over time.     

Getting the actor to act

The hypothesis that a self‐contradictory communication is less persuasive than a non‐contradictory one was tested. The data supported the hypothesis only for those subjects who perceived the contradiction; neither open and closed‐mindedness nor initial attitude toward the policy advocated in the communication accurately distinguished the perceivers of the contradiction from the non‐perceivers.     

March music and the German radio audience

Liking for military bands and march music is sometimes asserted as an indication of nationalist or militaristic feeling. In a postwar, demilitarized German, some researchers have become interested in current attitudes toward march music and to what extent liking for such music is affected by the militaristic connotation it may have for listeners.

This study presents a penetrating insight into the conflict of emotional and rational behavior on the part of German audiences.     

Employment outlook in radio and television

Excerpts from “Employment Outlook in Radio and Television Broadcasting Occupations,”; a 16‐page reprint extracted from the Occupational Outlook Handbook, 7957 Edition, of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, pp. 554–64. The reprint was issued as the Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 1215, 1958, and is available upon request from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D.C.     

Sale and value of radio stations

Appraisal of a broadcasting station for the purpose of sale is an activity involving considerable risk and even more guesswork. It is very hard to determine value, particularly when the purchase price is determined more by intangible assets and prospects than real property, and a cursory examination of the public record of the purchase price yields insufficient information about these prospects, assets and attributes.

Most of the important information desirable is available, however, in the public records of the Federal Communications Commission, on file in Washington. Obtaining the desired information from these records requires considerable effort, from first finding out just what is available and then performing the time‐consuming task of abstracting from the records. In this activity, knowledge of FCC procedures is a valuable asset. In the report that follows, data were gathered by Dr. Walter B. Emery, former FCC staff member and presently Professor in the Television and Radio Department of Michigan State University, while spending much of the summer of 1960 at the FCC under a research grant from Michigan State University. The correlational analyses and composition of the report were conducted by Dr. Paul J. Deutschmann, Director of the Communications Research Center at Michigan State University.     

Doctoral dissertations in radio and television

The perceived social realism of television series featuring families with children and adolescents was studied. For the two family series they watched the most, 460 2nd, 6th, and 10th graders indicated the percentage of real‐life American families they believed were like the television family on 13 different characteristics. Findings suggest that perceived social realism judgments are sensitive to content, as are developmental patterns in judgment. They further suggest that disparate findings among previous studies of age changes in perceived social realism may be explained by age, the content judged, the realism criterion used for judgment, and familiarity with both the content and its real‐life referents.     

Fee or free: Public interest and the freedom of information act

This article examines Executive agency fee waiver guidelines for public interest requesters, including scholars, the media, and public interest groups, within the larger context of F.O.I.A.'s costs and benefits to the public. Information transmitted to the public by these requesters enhances citizen oversight of government activities and assists Congress in formulating public policy. However, arbitrary interpretation of the statute's fee waiver provision and the lack of standard and consistent fee waiver guidelines clearly inhibit use of the Act by public interest requesters. Continuing efforts by some Members of Congress and Executive agency personnel to further limit certain types of information available under the F.O.I. A. prompted renewed consideration of the economic aspects of Federal information policy in general and, in particular, the Freedom of Information Act.

Political party use of radio and television in the 1960 campaign

Although only about 1% of all broadcast revenues in 1960 could be attributed to time purchased for the Presidential election campaign, the total (close to $14 million) was enough to put a very‐large dent into political party treasuries. At the same time, broadcasting stations and networks reaped a quadrennial bonanza. The following article describes and discusses the trends in party expenditures for political broadcasting, as well as the regional distribution of the amount of broadcasting time purchased by the two major parties. It is primarily an analysis of the Federal Communications Commission's 1960 Survey of Political Broadcasting.

Communication and power: Popular radio in Nicaragua

This essay investigates the relationship between media and society by applying three evaluative criteria: media ownership and control; professional practices; and social function of the medium. An historical study of Nicaraguan radio from 1930–1990 provides empirical grounds for theoretical claims. In particular, the practice and function of the community radio network Corporación de Radio Difusión del Pueblo (CORADEP) from 1980–1990 suggests that democracy in the public sphere depends on broad public access to and popular participation in media production and distribution.     

Some reactions to the advent of campaigning by radio

Public files were examined at selected commercial broadcast stations to evaluate broadcasters' compliance with FCC rules and to measure public use of the files.     

陈绍宽与南京国民政府海军建设(1927—1932)

军阀专国的统治下,陈绍宽跟随闽系海军加入国民革命,在北伐、西征等战事中逐步晋升,得以为海军建设建言献策。然而,一·二八事变中海军的不作为,将其推至舆论的风口浪尖,建设更觉艰难。纵观这一时期的海军建设,虽然取得了一定成绩,但在南京国民政府错误的国防建设方针下,陈绍宽注定无法建成一支充分完备的强大海军。     

民国广告的自律与他律:以医药广告为中心的观察(1927-1949)

随着近代商业的日益发达,医药广告的重要性日益凸现。广告一方面使得医、药可能通过媒介以致天下通晓,但另一方面,虚伪夸张的医药广告也对社会造成重大危害。因医药广告中存在着明显的虚伪夸张现象,南京国民政府时期,政府、媒介及医药界都试图对医药广告进行规范,并为规范医药广告采取了一系列措施,但因种种原因,民国医药卫生广告泛滥的问题并没有得到明显改善。
