They are responsible for keeping an eye on TV, radio and on demand video.

Celebrity big brother received a lot of negative comments over the past few years, making it one of the most complained about shows. Recently it has come under fire after an incident with two contestants, resulting in one of them being 'punched' during a play fight.  This brought in 25,000 complaints on this incident alone with viewers complaining she 'overreacted to a playful punch.'

Over 8000 people complained after a row between Coleen Nolan and Kim Woodburn left Kim in tears as she said the treatment in the house reminded her of being bullied as as child. The show then cut to an ad break as she was seen storming off the set. ]]> 2019-01-28 14:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324948645 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324952523 2019-01-28 14:56:32 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324952523 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324952815 ASA is the Advertising Standards Authority and they are the UK's independent advertising regulator. They are responsible for ensuring adverts across the UK media stick to advertising rules. This ensures they are suitable to be broadcast to the public, child friendly and not misleading.

An advert that was banned for not sticking to the advertising rules was an advert by Rimmel London, promoting mascara but showing the model wearing lash inserts and post production techniques that were used too exaggerate the product. This was misleading and did not demonstrate the product accurately and for this reason it came under fire and was banned from TV. ]]> 2019-01-28 14:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324952815 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324962135 2019-01-28 15:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324962135 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324963624 Another advert that was banned by ASA was one created for the online retailer 'Nasty Gal' after claims that the model in the video was 'underweight.' These complaints said that they were 'socially irresponsible' and called the model 'unhealthily thin.' Towards the end there were scenes in which the focus was on the models chest where her rib cage was prominent. The ASA responded with ' The model appeared unhealthily underweight in those scenes and concluded that the ads were therefore irresponsible.']]> 2019-01-28 15:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324963624 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324966364 2019-01-28 15:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/324966364 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325296987 Television and film should give a balanced display of representation in the media, as this allows all religions, ethnicities, genders and abilities to be showcased and represented equally. This allows audiences to connect with a person or a character and gives them somebody to relate to. The communications act 2003 states that Ofcom are required to promote equality of opportunity amongst broadcasters. They must look at gender balance, different ethnicities and abilities.

An example of negative female representation in the media comes in the form of washing up adverts. In the past, women were seen as housewives, required to stay at home and look after the kids whilst her husband was at work. This 1955 advert shows a stereotypical housewife washing the dishes and doing the laundry, all whilst her daughters watch. Most likely learning her traits. This is negative as it shows women as incapable of work and are good for few things, such as housework and child raising. This suggests that women are dependent on men and unable to think and act for themselves.]]> 2019-01-29 09:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325296987 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325300648 2019-01-29 09:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325300648 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325300924 An example of positive female representation in media comes in the form of female superheroes. They are shown as strong, freethinking and able to make decisions themselves. This is positive as it reinforces the statement that women are just as strong as men and capable of the same, if not more. This representation allows the public to change their ways of thinking and see women as less of an object or a liability and more of a powerful figure with no limitations.

This prevented discrimination and in a lot of ways also prevented racist content being shown on TV and in media. A negative example of race being used in the media is shown in a film called 'Attack the Block.' This film shows a group of youths, with a black leader, harassing a white woman while she walks home. This is negative as it reinforces the stereotypical view that black people are dangerous and should be feared within society. This gives no positive representation to black youths and instead shows them the way society still views them. ]]> 2019-01-29 11:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325320922 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325322898 2019-01-29 11:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325322898 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325324902 2019-01-29 11:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325324902 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325329916 2019-01-29 11:42:56 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325329916 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325334048 2019-01-29 11:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325334048 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/325335351 Stands for  'British board of film classifications' and their role is to protect the public and especially children, from content which might raise harm risks.

Things that can be copyrighted include: ideas, footage, pictures, song lyrics and statistics. The benefits of this law are that: it protects the property of companies and protects profit which ultimately will lead to more investments in future products which will mean better quality. A lot of websites breach copyright law for broadcasting content which does not belong to them. Some examples of these sites include: movie shows such 123movies, or any other movie streaming site that allows you to watch movies for free. There are also a lot of music streaming sites that breach copyright laws as they allow you to download and stream music without purchasing it first. These breach copyright law as they do not have the permission of the company\label to share their work.

Tv shows and outlets have to be mindful of peoples privacy because everyone has the right to a private life, whether it's a celebrity or the public. This means that when covering a story, they cannot dig too far into somebody's personal life in order to create a story. Celebrities can ensure that their privacy is kept by getting something called a 'Super injunction.' This is a way of stopping the press from reporting on your private life. This will be granted by a court and is used to protect individuals.

It is especially empowering for black women as their representation in films was usually negative and showed oppression, whereas Black Panther shows them as warriors and incredibly powerful.]]> 2019-02-11 12:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329821972 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329822599 Article 9 of the human rights act permits the freedom of thought, belief and religion. This allows people to manifest their beliefs an religions as long as they coincide with the law or for the protection and freedom of others.

An example of negative representation of religion or belief is in the show Homeland . The clip shows an extremist holding a hostage as he tries to break into a vault. It depicts violence and shows muslims and the religion of islam to be violent , manipulative and hostile. This is negative as it paints the picture that all muslims are terrorists and that they should be feared.]]> 2019-02-11 12:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329822599 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329823024 An example of positive representation of religion or belief is shown through a BBC programme titled ' 7 questions muslims are tired or hearing.'  This programme shows muslims talking about questions that they hear a lot, based on stereotypes. Their responses help to show the public that they are just ordinary people and that extremists make up a tiny fraction of the population  and that they are just as disgusted by terrorism and extremists as the rest of the world. This is positive representation as it shows them in a better light, as kind and compassionate people that do not fit the stereotype in which they are given.]]> 2019-02-11 12:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329823024 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329823190 Libel law was brought in to stop the media from damaging a persons reputation. A show that was accused of breaking libel law is the show 'Who is America?' Hosted by Sacha Baron Cohen, the show is currently being sued £72 million by Roy Moore for defamation. During the skit, Moore was portrayed as a sex offender, which in turn caused a lot of anger and upset. This is classed as breaking libel law as it ruined Moore's reputation and portrayed him in a negative way.

The Joanna Yeates case was accused of breaking libel law, as the media falsely accused Christopher Jeffries over her murder. He was the landlord of the building that Jo lived in and because of this, mixed with people saying he was 'strange' he was accused of her murder. Reports in papers were shown to be making him out as a monster and disregarded his privacy and rights. The media dug into his life and even went so far as to say that he was the associate of a convicted paedophile and even linked him to a murder from 1974. The media made him out to be an evil and disgusting man who had no respect for anybody's privacy, but this was far from the truth. It turned out that he was innocent and he has sued the papers for his false arrest. This included papers such as 'The sun, The Daily Mirror, The Sunday Mirror, The Daily Record, The Daily Express, The Daily Star and The Scotsman.' If he had been charged with the murder, the articles could have prevented him from having a fair trial as they were extremely slanderous to the point that his whole life was affected.]]> 2019-02-11 12:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329823190 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329824470 Conflict of interest:
Conflict of interest is the ability to trust the BBC for TV shows and services. This impacts audiences as it allows them to be able to trust that they are not going to be lied to or deceived. They must ensure they are not influenced by outside parties and ensure that the TV shows are balanced. A show such as 'Newsnight' need to ensure that they are balanced and include both sides. For example if there was a political party involved, they must have an opposing side to ensure the show is balanced and both sides of an argument are raised.

Language:
The BBC must make careful judgements about their use of words. TV shows cannot show explicit language before 9pm. This also includes sexually explicit content. This allows audiences to not have to worry about inappropriate content being shown to children or using any language that they themselves may find offensive. Language would impact most shows as they all have to be cautious about the language they use and when they are shown. The overall decision is down to the producer.

Reporting statistics:
The BBC is responsible for avoiding using statistics at face value. They must ensure that all the statistics they use are accurate and if any are incorrect then they must  correct them as soon as possible. This allows audiences to rely on the statistics they are seeing and make up their own minds and judgements. This impacts the news, as so many people rely on their stories and statistics, they must be correct.]]> 2019-02-11 12:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/329824470 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/334826785 2019-02-25 13:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/334826785 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/334863031 2019-02-25 14:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/334863031 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/334887002 2019-02-25 15:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/334887002 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/335284789 2019-02-26 10:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/335284789 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/335306084 2019-02-26 11:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/335306084 nicholas_zabel https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128507 You have comprehensively explained the structure and ownership of the media sector with reference to elucidated examples ]]> 2019-03-22 09:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128507 nicholas_zabel https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128706  You have comprehensively explained ethical and legal constraints within the media sector with reference to elucidated examples ]]> 2019-03-22 09:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128706 nicholas_zabel https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128824  You have comprehensively explained the regulatory issues affecting the media sector with reference to elucidated examples ]]> 2019-03-22 09:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128824 nicholas_zabel https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128930  You have comprehensively explained employment opportunities and job roles in the media sector with reference to elucidated examples ]]> 2019-03-22 10:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/344128930 nicholas_zabel https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/365533459 2019-06-04 10:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/365533459 13016935 https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/366690011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSVECytdKh4&t=3s]]> 2019-06-10 12:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/13016935/vkwyi94gihas/wish/366690011
