Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fairness doctrine, which was a policy introduced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1949, required that holders of broadcast licenses present controversial issues of public importance and do so in a manner that was, in the FCC's view, honest, equitable, and balanced. This would have made it challenging for radio stations to exclusively air programming from a single perspective, such as conservative talk shows, without presenting opposing viewpoints. The doctrine was eliminated in 1987, not 2012, and it never applied to print media, only broadcast media.
