Analysis shows language in media has become more lax over time. The document also reviews cases and arguments regarding how consumers view obscene media, benefits of restricting violent/obscene content for youth, and targeting of advertisements. It concludes that media freedoms around "obscene" subjects are growing and censorship is often unnecessary or impossible.

Media effects debate
This document provides information about several media effects theories that should be researched: Cultivation Theory, Uses & Gratification Theory, Copycat Theory, Desensitization Theory, and Catharsis. It includes definitions and key points about each theory. For Cultivation Theory, it discusses how heavy media exposure can influence viewers' perceptions of reality. For Uses & Gratification Theory, it explains how people use media to fulfill cognitive, affective, personal identity, and other needs. The Copycat Theory suggests audiences may copy violent behaviors they see. Desensitization Theory proposes that repeated violent media exposure can make people less sensitive to violence. And Catharsis Theory argues that viewing violence can purge negative emotions.
The 4 topic prompts film
Contemporary media regulation compared to previous practice has changed due to shifting social attitudes. Regulators now take a classification rather than censorship approach, and guidelines are revised regularly to reflect social changes. While regulation aims to be effective, its ability to influence internet consumption is limited, and strict rules do not necessarily reduce crimes. Debates exist around the appropriate level of state control over media and whether regulation effectively protects audiences or restricts creative expression.
Contemporary Media Regulation Theory
The document discusses different perspectives on media regulation and the influence of violent or explicit content. It notes that a 2008 government-commissioned review found no evidence that playing violent video games causes desensitization or addiction. However, some researchers argue that violent media can increase antisocial behavior in children. Critics argue that the public should be responsible for their own media consumption rather than having regulators control content. Regulation of violent and explicit content in video games and films is an ongoing debate in the UK.
Media Impact
This presentation discusses the impact different types of media content have on society. Also covered are several media theories and studies that have been conducted over time.
Censorship And Regulation[1]
The document discusses the issues around censorship and regulation of films in the UK and US. It outlines the key viewpoints of advocates who argue censorship protects societal morality, versus critics who say it imposes viewpoints. The US system relies on ratings while the UK uses the British Board of Film Classification. Contemporary examples of censorship controversies are given, like reactions to Life of Brian and films addressed religious topics. Case studies of specific films are mentioned to illustrate these issues but not analyzed in depth. The conclusion questions if censorship will ever change given new media like the internet challenges imposed views of suitability.
Regulation social issues
This document discusses various challenges facing media regulators in the UK due to social and technological changes. It notes how the growth of new technologies like on-demand TV, social media, and the internet have made regulation more complex and fragmented efforts across different platforms and media. Several issues are highlighted like the struggle to monitor children's content consumption online, the difficulty regulating live or reality TV, and the need for film and game ratings to adapt to changing social views over time. Overall, the document examines how regulators must keep up with evolving media landscapes and societal trends to continue effectively protecting audiences.
UK film classification 2010
The document provides an overview of film classification in the UK, including a brief history and the current structure and process. It notes that censorship trends have liberalized over time from moralistic paternalism to child protection. Key decades included the 1920s-1940s which established the British Board of Film Censors and symbols, and the 1960s-1970s which saw social changes and the ratings become more permissive. Today the BBFC aims to empower viewers while protecting children.
Media regulation powerpoint
Media regulation aims to protect the public in three main ways: regulating content, access/distribution, and ownership. It has evolved from strict censorship to a more liberal classification system. Debate remains around balancing freedom of speech with protection, and whether regulation effectively prevents harm or merely restricts choice. New technologies challenge traditional regulators to control unclassified online content.

The document discusses legal and ethical considerations for print media products in the music industry. It defines key terms like copyright and royalties and explains how they could impact print works. It also lists several regulatory bodies in the music industry like BASCA, MPA, PRS, and OFCOM and instructs students to research what they do and how their regulations may affect print products. Researching these organizations is part of the learning outcome to understand legal and ethical issues for music industry print works.

He has held several positions advocating for progressive causes, including senior staff attorney for Philadelphia City Council where he drafted important gun violence prevention and predatory lending legislation. He is licensed to practice law and remains actively involved in his community.
Regulation effectiveness
This document discusses the effectiveness of various media regulators in the UK, including OFCOM, BBFC, PEGI, and PCC/IPSO. It provides arguments for and against their effectiveness based on factors like their ability to protect vulnerable groups, enforce codes of conduct, regulate new technologies and formats, and adapt to social changes over time. Overall it examines whether these bodies are adequately fulfilling their aims of regulating media content and business practices while balancing freedom of expression.
Mass Media and Cinema
Cinema, or movies, can have both positive and negative impacts. It is an important form of mass media that influences many people, especially youth. Positively, movies can teach good behaviors and values, as well as provide educational or inspirational stories. However, they can also negatively influence viewers by glorifying unhealthy or dangerous behaviors that some may try to imitate. It is important to be discerning and use cinema responsibly by limiting viewing time and choosing movies that provide value rather than just entertainment.
Censorship & regulation ocr
The document discusses the history and challenges of regulating media in the UK. Historically, regulation was medium-specific but the internet has complicated this approach. There is a debate between censorship and self-regulation, with moves toward the latter. However, regulating the internet is difficult due to its global nature and borderless sharing of content. The future of regulation may focus more on interactive and video game media as these mediums continue to blur boundaries between platforms.
Illegal downloading and copyright
This document discusses the problems and opportunities that new media technology poses for record labels, artists, and consumers in terms of illegal downloading and copyright issues. It notes that record labels are losing money due to illegal downloading, but artists now have wider consumer bases and can more easily release and promote their music. The document asks for alternative solutions to restricting internet access to address illegal downloading and provides examples such as making music and live shows cheaper or offering free music with purchases.

Audience perception of sexual contents in nigerian movies
This document summarizes a research study that examined audience perceptions of sexual content in Nigerian movies. The study utilized a survey research design to collect information from 337 respondents across four local governments in Ogun State, Nigeria. The results showed that most audiences consider sexual content in movies to be bad, unhealthy, excessive and irrelevant. Based on these findings, the researchers recommend that movie producers should include sexual scenes sparingly and tactfully. The document provides background on the growth of the Nigerian movie industry, defines key terms like sexual content, and discusses factors that can influence different interpretations of sexual content among audiences.

Transparency, Purpose, and the Empowered Consumer: A New Paradigm for Advertising
[bsr.org 23.03.15]
In the past several years, the advertising industry has undergone dramatic changes that have created an array of challenges and opportunities:
-The use of “big data” to target consumers has raised government and consumer concerns about the collection and use of personal information.
-The rise of “native advertising,” in which ads appear as content, has triggered questions about whether consumers are being misled.
-Digital advances have given brands direct connections to their consumers, with the power to gain insights and build loyalty.
-New advertising approaches appealing to consumers’ core values have given brands an opportunity to engage consumers on a deeper level.
-Advertisers using their creative power to share messages related to social, environmental, and cultural issues have built strong brands and are having a positive influence on the world around us.
In context of these developments BSR and Participant Media embarked on research to explore how the major trends in advertising intersect with ideas related to corporate social responsibility.

This document provides an overview of power analysis and mapping for advocacy and influencing work. It discusses why power matters for development and change, different forms and spaces where power is exercised. It also provides examples of power analysis maps and discusses how to develop a theory of change. A theory of change explains how and why a desired change is expected to happen in a particular context, what actions need to be taken to influence relevant stakeholders, and what assumptions are being made about how change happens. Developing a theory of change involves defining the desired impact, identifying outcomes and strategies, and mapping the context and key players to determine how change can be influenced and sustained.

Measuring Impact: The Importance of Evaluation for Documentary Film Campaigns
Beth Karlin, John Johnson
Abstract
Introduction
Documentary film has grown significantly in the past decade, with high profile films such as Fahrenheit 9/11, Supersize Me, and An Inconvenient Truth garnering
increased attention both at the box office and in the news media. In addition, the rising prominence of web-based media has provided new opportunities for
documentary to create social impact. Films are now typically released with websites, Facebook pages, twitter feeds, and web videos to increase both reach and
impact. This combination of technology and broader audience appeal has given rise to a current landscape in which documentary films are imbedded within
coordinated multi-media campaigns.
New media have not only opened up new avenues for communicating with audiences, they have also created new opportunities for data collection and analysis of
film impacts. A recent report by McKinsey and Company highlighted this potential, introducing and discussing the implications of increasing consumer information
being recorded on the Internet as well as through networked sensors in the physical world. As they found: "Big data—large pools of data that can be captured,
communicated, aggregated, stored, and analyzed—is now part of every sector and function of the global economy" (Manyika et al. iv). This data can be mined to
learn a great deal about both individual and cultural response to documentary films and the issues they represent.
Although film has a rich history in humanities research, this new set of tools enables an empirical approach grounded in the social sciences. However, several
researchers across disciplines have noted that limited investigation has been conducted in this area. Although there has always been an emphasis on social impact in
film and many filmmakers and scholars have made legitimate (and possibly illegitimate) claims of impact, few have attempted to empirically justify these claims.
Over fifteen years ago, noted film scholar Brian Winston commented that "the underlying assumption of most social documentaries—that they shall act as agents of
reform and change—is almost never demonstrated" (236). A decade later, Political Scientist David Whiteman repeated this sentiment, arguing that, "despite
widespread speculation about the impact of documentaries, the topic has received relatively little systematic attention" ("Evolving"). And earlier this year, the
introduction to a special issue of Mass Communication and Society on documentary film stated, "documentary film, despite its growing influence and many impacts,
has mostly been overlooked by social scientists studying the media and communication" (Nisbet and Aufderheide 451).
Film has been studied extensively as entertainment, as narrative, and as cultural even ...

This document discusses institutions, audiences, ownership, convergence, and new models of media consumption. It addresses how media institutions are businesses seeking profit and how ownership affects their output. It also describes how convergence has merged technologies and industries and allowed audiences to become producers through interaction with media. Finally, it introduces the concepts of audiences fragmenting across niche interests and new models of "pull media" where consumers decide what and how they engage with media content.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentation
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Arbitrary Censorship: An Analysis of Changes in Obscenity Law Due to Entertainment and Media
- 1. Arbitrary Censorship: An Analysis of Changes in Obscenity Law Due to Entertainment and Media By: Zach Swoboda
- 2. Analysis of Law Changes ● Courts typically side in favor of sides looking to expand and grow acceptable values for non-obscenity ● Our language has become more lax in media (ex I Love Lucy - South Park)
- 3. Recent Case Law ● 2017, Am. Entertainers, L.L.C. v. City of Rocky Mount - Prosecution believe defendants business is obscene due to employees wearing revealing clothing/swimwear - Case decided in favor of Defendant ● 2011, Brown v Entertainment Merchants Association - Prosecution believed defendant was not complying with new California Laws on coverings and sales of “obscene” media - Case decided in favor of Defendant
- 4. Case Reviews ● Jennifer Kinsley (2015) ○ Main Argument: Media and how consumers determine obscene media is changing, and becoming more open, free, and nonrestrictive for creators of media ● Alan Wilcox (2011) ○ Main Argument: Restriction or censorship of certain violent or obscene subjects and actions in videogames may be to benefit youth and those developing with these pieces of media ● Federal Trade Commission (2000) ○ Main Argument: while the self-regulations in media industries help keep youth from experiencing inappropriate media, the advertisements for said media are generally targeted toward those of lower age than the media’s target demographic.
- 5. Real World Effects of Unnecessary Censorship ● The Motion Pictures Association of America ○ This Film Is Not Yet Rated – Expose film on the terrible practices conducted by the association over their ratings values and their arbitrary nature ○ Little to no consistency on point values given to films during ratings process, over valueation of light sexual activity vs low valuation of graphic violence ○ Seemingly unfair towards positive portrayals of the LGBT community, and litle regard toward films that demean and insult LGBT values/ways of life
- 6. Conclusion ● Media freedoms in relation to subjects seen as “obscene” is growing and expanding ● Censorship is typically an unpopular, unnecessary, or impossible action ● Media producers do what they can to ensure the safety and well mindedness of their consumers while also ensuring they can be free to create and publish their works without undo interference.
