The fairness doctrine was a policy introduced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1949, requiring broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues of public importance. It aimed to promote balanced and fair coverage, ensuring that all sides of an issue were represented in the media. The doctrine contributed to the media landscape by encouraging diverse perspectives but was abolished in 1987, leading to the rise of more partisan media outlets.
