I chose to use the databases as my main sources because I was looking at specific case studies and examples for media restraints.
ReplyDeleteI used the SCU library's database access to Omnifile where I found articles about Howard Stern and his disputes with the FCC.
I also quickly googled known cases (such as Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction) in order to find articles from newspapers that covered the event.

ReplyDeleteI used Chapter 3, Political Influences in Media, as my main source in this project because as a textbook for a Mass Communication course, the material was up to date and relevant to the appropriate/inappropriate media content. There was important historical background that I found helpful, too.
The FCC website is a government site therefor a trustworthy source for information about our topic. I wanted definitions directly from the government's perspective of inappropriate content in order to build an understanding of why certain materials are regulated.
ReplyDeleteThe article titled Internet Content Regulation: Is a Global Community Standard a Fallacy or the Only Way Out? provided relevant information for our group project because it gave a good overview of U.S. regulation laws of inappropriate content for the protection of children and it also explores the possibility of global standards for Internet content.
