From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A continuity acceptance editor in North America, essentially, is a censor in broadcast media charged with filtering violence, sex, and untasteful humor that might exceed acceptable norms of the public or violate Federal, State, and local laws. The field covers "good taste" and accuracy.

History[edit]

Continuity acceptance editing, as a field, became prevalent around 1930, led by NBC Radio under the leadership of Janet MacRorie (maiden; 1887–1950) out of New York – and later, Andrew C. Love, who, from 1937, ran the NBC's Continuity Acceptance Division in Hollywood.
