This is just work we're going through in lesson. So 'Media Regulation' can be described in this way:
- Regulation/Regulator – set of rules or guidelines usually agreed between media organisations and public organisations in order to make media organisations more accountable for what they publish. Usually this is overseen by an independent regulatory body who may have the power to issue fines or warnings.
- IPSO regulate newspapers, voluntarily though. They may issue fines.
TV Stations - answerable to Ofcom:
- They have to have editorial standards which fall within Ofcom's code of conduct
- A government or court can place reporting restrictions on a case. So, for example, if a teenager is involved in a serious crime the court can order that his/her identity is not revealed.
- Celebrity super-injunctions: Ryan Giggs case.
User Generation Content: where the content is created by the person not just shared piece of reporting from a media organised (TV/News) - or re-tweeted.
BBFC Regulate Music Videos, voluntarily, it's not the law. Sony Music UK, Universal Music UK and Warner Music UK:
- Drug misuse
- Dangerous behaviour presented as safe
- Bad language
- Sexual behaviour and nudity
- Threatening behaviour and violence
