Editor's note.

Welcome to Volume 60, Issue 3, of the Federal Communications Law Journal, the official journal of the Federal Communications Bar Association, and the nation's oldest and largest distribution scholarly communications law periodical.

This Issue includes a wide range of communications law scholarship. In the first piece, Catherine Sandoval marshals social science research to evaluate the nexus between language and content as she explores the constitutional limits on using language to define a broadcast antitrust market. Michelle Ghetti, in the second article, outlines the problem created by the media's coverage of publicity-seeking crimes, and argues that the government should be allowed to experiment with remedies until it finds a workable solution. Finally, Randall Bezanson meditates on the nature of "art"--and the Supreme Court's treatment of it--through the memorable lens of NEA v. Finley.

In our Notes for this Issue, Jeffrey Peabody examines the FCC's approach to undisclosed video news releases, while Carly Brandenburg details the privacy problems facing users of online social networking Web sites. Lastly, Russell Hanser reviews Clifford Winston's Government Failure versus Market Failure: Microeconomics Policy Research and Government Performance as well as the essays collected in Creating Competitive Markets: The Politics of Regulatory Reform, Mark K. Landy, Martin A. Levin & Martin Shapiro, eds.
