The Indecent Screen explores clashes over indecency in broadcast
television among U.S.-based media advocates, television
professionals, the Federal Communications Commission, and TV
audiences. Cynthia Chris focuses on the decency debates during an
approximately twenty-year period since the Telecommunications Act
of 1996, which in many ways restructured the media environment.
Simultaneously, ever increasing channel capacity, new forms of
distribution, and time-shifting (in the form of streaming and
on-demand viewing options) radically changed how, when, and what we
watch. But instead of these innovations quelling concerns that TV
networks were too often transmitting indecent material that was
accessible to children, complaints about indecency skyrocketed soon
after the turn of the century. Chris demonstrates that these
clashes are significant battles over the role of family, the role
of government, and the value of free speech in our lives, arguing
that an uncensored media is so imperative to the public good that
we can, and must, endure the occasional indecent screen.
