[THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA LANDSCAPE] Traditionally, media in the United States have been regulated by one of three models:print, broadcasting, and ''common carrier'' (e.g., telephone and telegraph), with cableTV treated as something in between print and broadcasting.
[THE WHEN AND WHY OF BROADCAST REGULATION] The three most frequently invoked reasons for regulating broadcast media more strictly than print are the scarcity of the electromagnetic spectrum, the pervasiveness or intrusiveness of TV and radio, and the stronger potential for these media to reach children.
