What is regulation and why do media industries need to be regulated?
Regulation is about making rules for media. Media needs rules so people aren’t shown harmful or inappropriate stuff.

What is OFCOM responsible for?
OFCOM makes sure TV, radio, and media follow the rules and don’t show bad or harmful content.

What are the three most important sections of the OFCOM broadcasting code and why?

Protecting kids: So they don’t see violent or inappropriate stuff
Truthfulness: News must be honest.
Avoiding harm: So content doesn’t offend or upset people.
Was Channel 4 wrong to show 'Wolverine' at 6.55 pm on a Sunday? Why?
Yes, because kids could be watching, and it’s too violent for that time.

List five sections of the old PCC Code of Practice.

Privacy
Truthfulness
No harassment
Protecting kids
No discrimination
Why was the PCC criticised?
It wasn’t strict enough and couldn’t punish newspapers properly.

What was the Leveson inquiry and why was it set up?
It looked at how newspapers acted after they hacked people’s phones to get stories.

What replaced the PCC in 2014?
IPSO (Independent Press Standards Organisation).

What’s your opinion on press regulation?
The press should be free, but there should be rules to stop lying and invading privacy.

Why is the internet hard to regulate?
It’s huge, global, and people post too much for anyone to control.
