Summary
PBS' Frontline executive editor Louis Wiley, FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, attorney Stephen Weiswasser, and Executive Director of the PTC, Tim Winter, on this edition of Fresh Air. Louis Wiley is executive editor of the PBS Frontline documentary series. He will discuss how they have been affected by the FCC's crackdown on indecency in broadcasting. The FCC has increased fines tenfold for material they deem indecent. A single incident can warrant a fine of $325,000. The FCC crackdown has had a chilling effect on broadcasters, forcing them to self-censor. Then, FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein, who was appointed in 2002. Previously he was senior legislative aide to Senator Tom Daschle. Next, attorney Stephen Weiswasser who advises stations on what material may be deemed indecent. He is a partner in law of Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C. He says the FCC guidelines are difficult to interpret. Finally, Tim Winter, who is the Executive Director of the Parents Television Council (PTC). The PTC's stated mission is to "promote and restore responsibility and decency to the entertainment industry in answer to America's demand for positive, family-oriented television programming." Last week, the PTC filed an indecency complaint with the FCC over the NBC broadcast of the Emmy Awards because of language used by actresses Helen Mirren and Calista Flockhart.
