Select all that apply.
the fairness doctrine covers which of the following media types and why?

newspapers; in order to make sure that no one viewpoint dominates.

radio; because there are fewer broadcasting licenses available than people who wish to broadcast. thus, it is necessary that the fcc step in to make sure that the viewpoints of people other than those who own licenses are represented in the media.

every media type (radio, television, and internet); to assure that no one viewpoint dominates.

television and radio but not the internet; because the internet is not regulated by anyone.

television and radio, but not print media like newspapers; because in theory, anyone can start his own newspaper and express his point of view whereas the number of people who can participate in radio and television is limited by broadcast frequencies.

The Fairness doctrine, US communications policy from 1949 until 1987 articulated by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) required that the radio and television broadcasters that have a license to go on air present impartial and balanced exposure of the debatable issues of interest to their publics, including equal airtime to differing points of view. With this explained, we can select C (Television and radio but not the Internet; because the Internet is not regulated by anyone) and D (Television and radio, but not print media like newspapers; because in theory, anyone can start his own newspaper and express his point of view whereas the number of people who can participate in radio and television is limited by broadcast frequencies.) as the right answers.

The Fairness Doctrine does not cover the following media types:

*Television and radio but not the Internet; because the Internet is not regulated by anyone.

*Television and radio, but not print media like newspapers; because in theory, anyone can start his own newspaper and express his point of view whereas the number of people who can participate in radio and television is limited by broadcast frequencies.

Explanation:

The Fairness Doctrine was a regulation that applied to Tv and Radio communications, where it was mandatory to give broadcasting time to different points of view to every topic that they were boarding, so the audience could have wider information, internet and printed media are not controlled by this rule, since it impossible to control who and where is giving an opinion about any topic as who has access to it.
