Law and Policy Division
The Law and Policy division's mission is to assist fellow teachers,
researchers and practitioners in electronic media law and policy. Their
goals and objectives are to foster ownership of the process of educating
potential electronic media leaders and teachers about law; to prepare
electronic media students for leadership roles by providing meaning to
the phrase "the public interest, convenience and necessity"; to instill
the notion of the "public interest" among potential users and leaders of
the electronic media; to help new teachers of L & P by initiating
and continuing a dialogue about the process of teaching in this area; to
foster discussion about the nature of the curriculum of law and policy;
to educate potential users about their responsibilities to use the mass
media as mechanisms for social change and improvement; and to initiate
research into the fields of law and policy.
