Why doesnt CARA talk to the press about motion pictures that it rates?
The purpose of CARA is to provide parents with information about the level of content in a particular motion picture. CARA issues ratings and rating reasons for motion pictures to further that purpose. Once a movie is rated, CARA sends notification of that rating and the rating reasons to the public and the press to ensure it reaches parents. To safeguard the integrity of the rating process, discussions held by the Rating Board concerning a motion picture are confidential. The necessity for confidentiality is driven by the concern to protect the creative product of the submitter and to ensure that raters are not subject to outside influences in assessing the rating of a film. CARA does provide explanations to the submitter of each motion picture of the reasons for the rating assigned to that picture. However, any such discussions concerning a particular motion picture will be only with the submitter and are also considered confidential. Thus, the substance of discussions about a movie
