| Abstract: | It has been discussed on the appropriateness of media ownership rules for traditional TV and radio broadcast (henceforth as: b-c.) with the advancing technology in media communications. This article contributes to this debate by defending a set of principles for administration of the distribution of b-c. spectrum. Especially, defended are principles reflecting the 'public interest' constraint currently informing b-c. media ownership rules. It is argued against a free-market procedure for distributing b-c. spectrum use. As a result, the article has two aims: 1. defending a set of b-c. ownership principles, and 2. providing a model for how philosophers might apply constructivism to other subjects. |
