MIGRAIN: Industries - Regulation

 1.) Regulations are rules that organisations follow so that all organisations can be operated fairly. 

2.) Ofcom is responsible for regulating television, radio, telephone services and some aspects of the internet. 

3.) I think that the 3 most important parts of the broadcasting code is offensiveness, protecting and impartially because these are most likely to cover all basic level concerns that audience members may find offensive or wrong to be shown. 

4.) I believe that Chanel 4 was in the right for broadcasting Wolverine on a Sunday at 6.55 since it would assure that young audiences would not be exposed to the film since the films context would not be suitable for young audiences who would likely be getting ready for school the next day whilst older audiences would be available. 

5.) Accuracy, children, discrimination, privacy and harassment

6.) It wasn't completely enforced on companies so corporations could choose whether they wanted to follow those rules enforced by PCC or not.

7.) The Leveson Inquiry was a public inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the British press and it was set up to combat the phone hacking crisis at News of The World. 

8.) In 2014 the PCC was replaced by IPSO

9. I think ethics of press regulation is both good and bad. good because it can protect audiences from seeing harmful pieces of media but in the wrong hands bad since it could lead to the regulation press silencing thing with their bias in mind rather than protecting audiences. 

10.) The internet is difficult to regulate since because its a global platform and different regions have different regulations meaning that something could be shown in one country and not in another which wouldn't be fair for the audience and users since they all use the same platform. The internet is also run but many people so perhaps certain regulations do not sit well with all of them.
