    Abstract: A kiosk system facilitates compliance with FCC-mandated Public File requirements for licensed media outlets such as radio and television stations. The system intelligently routes Public File documents to the appropriate field entity (kiosk) without human intervention. These documents are categorized, tagged and made available to the public satisfying the federal requirements. The kiosks can operate in an offline mode with a synchronization system from the parent server to update the kiosks with documents and system data. An alerting system can generate push-email reminders and notifications for key media outlet staff. Additionally, the present invention can provide a virtual workstation kiosk to embed into a media outlet's public-facing websites, providing virtual kiosk access to remote members of the public.
