Kirtley on Clear Channel Communications' FCC Fine

Prof. Jane Kirtley was quoted in an Associated Press story on July 9, 2008, regarding a $12,000 Federal Communications Commission fine imposed on Clear Channel Communications, former owner of radio station KFGO, after the station aired a voicemail message without first obtaining permission of the caller. Prof. Kirtley said that "This is a classic example of how the FCC rules and regulations" may restrict broadcasters in ways that would be unconstitutional if imposed on the print media.
