Regulation in the media
Regulation
Regulation is the attempt to place limits by audiences and producers, upon the content, distribution and ownership of media production. We regulate the media so the audience don’t have to see things like death on the TV or hear swearing and there are age restrictions and censorship.

Gagging orders don’t always work and I feel that this law shouldn’t exist because unlike the privacy law this law is to protect what the person has done wrong, for example Ryan Giggs he slept with another woman and tried to hide it. With the recent hacking scandal, privacy laws and the way the media disobey them show’s how ruff the media industry can be. Not all laws are followed and not all gagging orders work.

It was then replaced in 1996 with the BSC Broadcasting standards commission. We have all seen some sort of court case in the paper to do with privacy for example The phone hacking scandal which ended News Of The World.
