So say the authors of Regulating Broadcast Programming in their com- prehensive review of past Thomas G. grattemnmar and present efforts to regu- late the content of radio and television. Thomas G. Krattenmaker and Lucas A. Powe, Jr., argue that such regulation should be based on the same princi- ples used for print media, where control of editorial content lies in private hands instead of in the government. Krattenmaker and Powe look at the wide variety of constitu- tional, historical, economic, and common-sense issues that content control generates. They begin by explaining the origins of broadcast regulation and show how normative economic theory might portray the appropriate role of government regulation of a public good. The authors then review the principal content regulations and the statutory and constitutional standards under which broadcast licensees operate. After critically analyzing such regulation, they outline a radically dif- ferent set of legal and regulatory policies and principles for regulating the content of broadcast. These are the rules that govern all other mass media in the United States. Thomas G. Krattenmaker is Dean and Professor of Law at the Marshall-Wythe School of Law, College of William and Mary. Lucas A. Powe, Jr., is Anne Green Regents Chair, Professor of Law, and Professor of Government at the University of Texas.
