1)Systems of regulation provide rules to ensure that organisations operate fairly. Also, they are there for people if the want to complain if they see something that the don't like therefore, regulators have consequences for organisations that break the rules. Media industries need to be regulated to ensure freedom of communication, diversity and universal provision as well as securing them for the people.
2)OFCOM is responsible for regulating TV, radio, telephone services and parts of the internet.
3)The three most important sections of the OFCOM broadcasting code are: harm and offence, fairness and privacy as they are the most relevant due to their links.
4)I agree that Channel 4 was wrong to hroadcast 'Wolverine' at 6:55pm on a Sunday evening as this is a typical time where families sit and watch TV together; Wolverine isn't suitable for all audiences and can offend some people with the violence.
5)-Accuracy
-Privacy
-Harassment
-Children
-Discrimination
6)The Press Complaints Commission was criticised due to the lack of statutory powers.
7)The Leveson enquiry was an inquiry into the 'culture, practice and ethics of the press'- it was held mainly because of the phone hacking scandal in 2011/2012. It also looked at other behaviours that are comsidered as questionable.
8)In 2014, the PCC was replaced by the Independent Press Standard Organisation (IPSO).
9)I believe that press regulation is important as it ensures that the public are satisfied with what they are watching/ reading/ listening to; if they disagree/ dislike what they are watching then they are able to complain to them jn order to fix it. Personally, I think that newspapers should face statutory regulation as this means that they would be controlled by the government. They could prevent false news from spreading also, they could maybe stop newspapers from being biased. On the other hand, some people may argue that they could make the political news biased.
10)The internet is difficult to regulate due to the wide variety of things that you are able to access. Although there are age restrictions on some websites, you are still able to pretend to be a certain age, meaning that it is easy to get around the rules. Also, there is no effective way for a computer system to regulate the internet efficiently.
