    Regulatory bodies must ensure any media meets standards before distribution. In the UK, OFCOM regulates TV, radio, and mobile content to protect viewers, especially children, from harmful or distressing material. Regulation aims to make media safe while allowing for creative freedom, but can force changes that alter products. For example, Big Brother received many complaints over an alleged assault, and audiences have a right to complain about content they view as overwhelming or harmful. Self-regulation alone is insufficient because productions must present accurate facts without misleading, and content must respect common morality and protect vulnerable groups.

    MEDIA AND ITS REGULATIONS :

    • BEFORE DIFFERENT MEDIA TYPES CAME BE PUT ON THE WEB , REGULATORY BODIES HAVE TO ENSURE THE PRODUCT
    MEETS THEIR STANDARDS . THE REGULATORY BODY FOR THE UK IS OFCOM , THEY REGULATE TV AND RADIO AND
    MOBILES . REGULATION IN MY EYES IS ENSURING THAT THE PERSON WHO IS CONSUMING THE PRODUCT IS FREE
    FROM SEEING ANYTHING OR HEARING WHICH MAY CAUSE THEM DISTRESS AND UNCOMFORT , REGULATION IS ALL
    ABOUT MAKING THE WEB A SAFE PLACE FREE FROM ANY HARMFUL CONTENT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE
    UNDER A CERTAIN AGE . WITH SOME TEXTS THIS REQUIREMENT OF TEXT CAN OFTEN CAUSE PROBLEM FOR THE TEXT
    AS IT CAN CAUSE CHANGES IN THE TEXT AND COMPLETELY CHANGE THE RPODUCT . E.G BIG BROTHER WAS THE
    MOST COMPLIANED ABOUT SHOW IN OVER 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF THE ALLEGED ASSAULT , THE AUDIENCE HAS A
    RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS AND COMPLAIN AND OFCOM HAS A DUTY TO THEN ACT UPON THOSE VIEWS AND
    PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM THIS TYPE OF OVERWHELMING AND HARMFUL CONTENT . SELF REGULATION WOULD BE
    DIFFICULT FOR MANY REASONS AS FIRSTLY YOUR PRODUCTION HAS TO BE ACCURATE WITH ANY FACTS/FINDINGS IT
    PRESENTS , THERE CANNOT BE NO MISLEADING INFORMATION .SECONDLY YOU HAVE TO ENSURE THAT WHATEVER
    YOUR SHOWING TO THE AUDIENCE FITS TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF COMMON MORALITY NOT JUST YOURS E.G SOME
    PEOPLE MAY DISAGREE STRONGLY WITH SOME ISSUES WHILE SOME MAY AGREE . YOUR PRODUCTION MUST
    PROTECT THE VULNERABLE FROM CONTENT WHICH MAY NOT BE PERMISSABLE .
