Notes for media: press regulation and freedom 

Question:

A lady's daughter us stabbed a and paralysed but survives and go onto have children etc

Science then, the lady and her family have been harassed terribly including turning up at doorstep

Press regulation is the idea of the government regulating the press, and putting boundaries on what and what they can do, and how far the press can go with getting information 

One one side of the argument, it says that press regulation is a form of government control and a regulatory system reiterating social control 

On the flip side, it could be said that its a parody of a social control agent, and a nosey money scheming institution

However in the lady's case

It's argued that the press violate their freedom by intruding people

Should the press be regulated? 

Freedom vs violating people's privacy 

Notes:

1: regulation and political bias

Payed for classification by bbfc, heavily biased regulation as its to do with money

People campaigned about breaches of the regular

Netflix content (Internet and online) stuff is still able to be uploaded with little regulation 

Media watch are a pressure group; they encourage people to complain about the decline in our moral standards 

Bbfc-everyone has freedom to choose what they watch, adults responsibility 

Media watch- we should take a moral stance to stop the decline of morality

Could be argued that we need to regulate what children see as it influences them, and children are the future 

Bbfc have become more liberal over the years, they don't work for the government 

2:

Why posters

Creativity vs conventions

We have conventions for marketing & legal reasons, blurb and copyright 

When we follow it. posters it becomes formulaic

Old posters focus more on creativity whereas new posters have to follow set set conventions more

Posters nowadays have too many legal obligations

Eg billing blocks have to be related to the image 

Slightly breaking away from modern posters by getting independent artists to do the posters, expanding the creative side

Following conventions too much limits creativity
