About this Quote

This quote is from a speech offered by Charles W. Pickering, a former united state agent from Mississippi, on the subject of tv programs as well as the regulation of indecent web content. In his speech, Pickering highlights the need for the cable and satellite sectors to take obligation for the web content they broadcast, specifically concerning family-friendly programming and also culturally suitable items.

Pickering's referral to "public airwaves" is a nod to the fact that tv broadcasting is regulated by the government, especially the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which has the authority to apply particular requirements of content and also language. However, cable television and satellite programming falls beyond the FCC's jurisdiction, as it is delivered over exclusive networks as well as not via public airwaves.

As such, Pickering is advising the wire and also satellite markets to take an aggressive method to the policy of their shows. He suggests the development of a "household tier" of programming, which would certainly use material without indecent product as well as customized particularly to families as well as kids. Additionally, he motivates the development of "culturally responsible" items, which would be delicate to the needs and worths of diverse communities.

On the whole, Pickering highlights the significance of responsible broadcasting and the role that media companies can play in promoting favorable social values through their programs.
