An appellate panel said Texas photojournalists were wrong to believe they have a sweeping First Amendment right to film private citizens on private property without permission.
(CN) — In a loss for Texas journalists, a Fifth Circuit panel on Monday ruled a state law restricting use of drones does not violate the First Amendment.
While flying his drone over a San Marcos, Texas apartment complex where several people had died from an arson fire in July 2018, San Antonio Express-News multimedia reporter Billy Calzada was approached by a federal agent.
The agent told him he was interfering with a federal investigation and called San Marcos police.
An officer told Calzada he was violating Chapter 423 of the Texas Government Code and could be charged with misdemeanors, with penalties of up to 180 days in jail and a $10,000 fine, if he continued to use his drone to report on the fire or if he published any of the photos or footage he had taken with it.
The kids are back at school, adults are back at work, and football season is officially here. Post-Labor Day marks the start of radio’s primetime as listening levels climb compared to the summer months as Americans resume their regular routines and normal listening behaviors return. For programmers, that means there are more quarter hours to be had, the pie is about to get bigger, and it’s time to capitalize on that.
Contesting shifts into high gear, including thousand-dollar giveaways for the big groups. On-air lineups get tweaked, new shows and new formats launch.
And with good reason. According to Nielsen PPM data, the highest months for radio listening are the October and November surveys, followed by September and May. Keep in mind, this reflects survey dates in which “October” means Sept. 14- Oct. 11 and November runs Oct. 12-Nov. 18.
Looking at every individual PPM survey since 2019 in the key persons 25-54 demo, seven of the top twenty largest months for radio listening were in the fall and six were in the spring.
