ABA Journal: FCC's Revamped Website Doesn't Work as Intended

摘要

The FCC’s controversial revamped website was cited as an example of agency sites that don’t nwork as intended, in a report in the January issue of the American Bar Association’s magazine, nABA Journal. "In an irony perhaps only lawyers can appreciate, the Federal Communications nCommission's newly revamped, state-of-the-art website has ... a major communications flaw: nInformation on the agency's rule-making is as buried as a pirate's treasure," the article said n(http://xrl.us/bmm5ui). The journal cited a report by University of Pennsylvania Law School nProfessor Cary Coglianese (http://xrl.us/bmm5vs). "From the standpoint of making nrulemaking information accessible to ordinary citizens, it is striking the website is not as clear nand accessible as the agency’s former site," Coglianese wrote. "The new site does not list n‘rulemaking’ or ‘regulation’ prominently on the home page. Instead, the new site includes a ntab for ‘rulemaking’ as one pull-down option under the heading ‘Business and Licensing.’”
