Description

From 1960 to 1990, Alfred R. Schneider served as head of standards and practices, or "chief censors," for the ABC television network. From his unique vantage point, Schneider managed issues of taste and morality that determined what millions of U.S. viewers watched. During his tenure the nation's attitudes changed drastically, as did the content shown on American airwaves. Controversies arose about TV's influence on children, its portrayal of violence, and its introduction of once taboo subjects.

Author Biography:

Alfred R. Schneider is an attorney and consultant in the communications industry and an adjunct professor at Fordham University's Graduate School of Business Administration. Kaye Pullen was a speech writer for President Gerald Ford and has served as director of Editorial Services for ABC.
