Author(s): Fontenot, Maria; Martinez, Michael T. | Abstract: Lawmakers and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have implemented policies, many at the urging of special interest groups and parents, aimed at restricting content on broadcast television and radio and the Internet in the interest of protecting children.
