| Audiovisual Coverage of Administrative Hearings |
The following general principles will be observed in granting or
denying requests for permission to cover hearings audiovisually:
(a) Notice and comment and on-the-record rule making proceedings may
involve administrative hearings. If such administrative hearings are
held, we encourage their audiovisual coverage.
(b) Audiovisual coverage shall be excluded in adjudicatory
proceedings involving the rights or status of individuals (including
those of small corporations likely to be indistinguishable in the public
mind from one or a few individuals) in which an individual's past
culpable conduct or other aspect of personal life is a primary subject
of adjudication, and where the person in question objects to coverage.
(c) Certain proceedings involve balancing of conflicting values in
order to determine whether audiovisual coverage should be allowed. Where
audiovisual coverage is restricted, the reasons for the restriction
shall be stated in the record.
