For one of our authors, their kids' current favorite treat
is a chocolate bar sold by a popular YouTube personality (and
philanthropist!). The kids know about this particular chocolate bar
because the personality promotes it during his videos. On YouTube,

parents). On broadcast television, it would result in a fine.

Nationally, all eyes are on Washington as the presidential
contest heats up. The rules governing that contest are largely
outside the purview of the FCC (with the exception, of course, of
broadcast political advertising), but the agency continues its
oversight of another type of contest — those conducted on-air
by broadcasters. A recent enforcement action serves as an important
reminder that when a broadcaster conducts a contest, it must follow
the fine print.
