Fairness Doctrine, 1983-1984

This subseries documents Fratkin's opposition, from 1983 to 1984, to the possible repeal of the "fairness doctrine," which required broadcasters after covering a story "to afford a reasonable opportunity for the presentation of contrasting views." In this endeavor, Fratkin worked with a group called the Friends of the Fairness Doctrine. Material includes correspondence, statements, press releases, newsletters, and notes.
