cuffs lesson 4

Tuesday 5th February 2019 

ofcom is a website that deals with complaints, an example of something that they have dealt with in the past is when the BBC was fined 400,000 pounds because they faked competition winners.this was the largest fine ever given to the BBC and shocked thousand of viewers.

In the cuffs episode there is a lack of swearing although this may not be realistic it broadens the amount of viewers and the age restriction on the series.The lack of swearing adds a lack of realism to the episode for example when the police officer is punched in the face he doesn't say anything where as in reality he most likely would have sworn.   

CREATE A NEW BLOG POST AND TITLE IT: MEDIA REGULATION

Copy and paste the Learning Objectives onto your new blog.

Copy the following questions below and answer them individually.

• WHAT DO WE MEAN BY REGULATION? Regulation is an abstract concept of management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends. In systems theory, these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society, but the term has slightly different meanings according to context
• WHY DO WE NEED TO REGULATE THE MEDIA?There is a contradiction intrinsic to the notion of regulating what are supposed to be the free means of expression and information in a modern society. Regulation by its very nature sets limits to freedom, which is the most basic principle of democratic societies. At the very least, this means that there have to be clear and convincing reasons for regulation, and although we can give general justifications for regulation that help to reconcile it with principles of freedom and democracy, we cannot escape from this underlying tension.

• WHAT TYPES OF MEDIA DO YOU THINK NEEDS REGULATION THE MOST? WHY?i think that think that involve death or sensitive subjects should defenatly have regulations because that way people can control what happens and the way people preseive it
