News reports say that Obama has selected his former Harvard Law School classmate Julius Genachowski to head the FCC.
Here’s his bio, according to the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Genachowski, 46 years old, is a former Harvard Law School classmate of Mr. Obama. He previously worked at the FCC during the Clinton administration. More recently, he co-founded LaunchBox Digital, a Washington, D.C.-based venture capital firm. He worked at Barry Diller’s IAC/InterActive Corp. in various executive positions for eight years after leaving the FCC.
I can’t seem to find anything that indicates his position on the “Fairness Doctrine.” Apparently, I’m not the only one:
Interesting. According to a Google News search, none of the articles on Julius Genachowski, Obama’s pick to head the Federal Communications Commission, mention the Fairness Doctrine. The issue has been mentioned in the online comments section underneath several news stories, but no one on the FCC or Obama administration beat has had Genachowski’s position regarding that issue on their radar.
We’ll keep watching.
