In case you missed it, look at the Sunday posting about the 50th anniversary of The U.S. Supreme Court decision ruling there must be reckless disregard for the truth in a story/ad involving a public official.
This photo from the weekend crash of a Malaysia Air jetliner caught my eye...
I KNOW it is our job to report what is happening. I KNOW that the signs and sounds of tragedy are an integral part of that tragedy for 239 people and their families, but it sure looks horrible to see the cameras and recorders pointed at this women as she cries.
Perhaps it is a reminder to all of us in the business to do the job with sensibility to victims.
[ALSO: The Alabama Broadcasters Association issued a warning about a charcoal radio commercial. Really!
I looked, but I could not find the offending commercial online.
[AND: Connecticut may become the first state to require movie theaters to lower the volume of movies. The City of Montgomery, Alabama, has a noise ordinance---approved in 2001---to block noise in public...annoying sound, mostly from radios and music players, heard 25 feet away.]

The NAB has alerted us that there is a new radio commercial produced for Kingsford Charcoal that violates the FCC's guidelines for Emergency Alert System (EAS) tones.The FCC has made it clear that the EAS is a national public warning system to be used only during a national emergency, or to deliver important emergency information such as Amber Alerts and weather information, like tornado warnings.Just last week, the FCC announced fines of $1.9 million for use of the EAS tone by three entities. They are very serious about this violation.
