Summary:"In The V-Chip Debate, Monroe E. Price has gathered an international set of contributors from government, academe, and industry to discuss the origins and development of the V-chip and its certain destiny to alter not just programming and broadcasting policies but law and public policy as well. The essays in this timely volume contrast the approaches in Canada and the United States in terms of the role of regulatory agency, industry, and government, as well as discuss existing television rating systems throughout the world." "While the concept of the V-chip is simple, its implications are varied and complex. For all involved in media policy and law, this volume provides a unique perspective on the V-chip debate, and brings to the forefront a critical topic certain to have monumental impact on public policy for years to come."--BOOK JACKET.
