understanding the regulation of the creative media sector

The Creative media Sector needs to be regulated and follow a series of rules about its content to decide what can and can not be shown.

This is  to avoid breaking laws of obscenity, copyright, libel, and cause offence on sensitive or ethical issues.

The industry has set up its own regulators to take charge of content, so they can keep up a sense of freedom of the press and publishing without the governement taken over and deciding what should be published.

The main regulators of the media industry are the  British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), Office of Communications (OFCOM), IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation formally PCC), Advertising Standards Authority(ASA).

Each of these bodies are covered in a separate post.
