CENTER FOR MEDIA AND DEMOCRACY, FREE PRESS FILE ANOTHER VNR COMPLAINT
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
The Center for Media and Democracy and Free Press filed their third complaint with the Federal Communications Commission over TV stations and cable systems airing unattributed video-news releases. The first two involved more than 100 stations, and the latest only one, WGTU in Traverse City, Mich., for airing three unattributed videos in its newscasts. The complaint was intended to remind the FCC that the practice of airing VNRs that mimic newscasts is still going on and to encourage it to take action on more than 100 pending complaints stretching back more than one year.
