President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore discussed media programming with communications experts, religious leaders, and representatives of several medical fields and law enforcement. The participants expressed concern about the violence and sexual content of movies, television, and popular music, and suggested ways of improving this without losing commercial sponsorship.
