Regulatory Issues:
Ownership
It's important in the media not to have companys that overpower others. We dont want to end up in a world where just one media company owns all the media and becomes powerful than the rest.

Monopoly
The term 'Monopoly' mean where there is only one company who owns the worlds media. The problem with this is that it leads eveyone to beleive that what they tell you on the news is all true, when in reality it isn't. the issue with this is that oen company can become overpowerful.
Access
We pay TV liscences in the UK. Regulating bodies need to make decisions on what can be accessed by the public. For example, we pay a TV liscence for the BBC and because the BBC is so diverse and so many different channels, if these cant be accessed then people start to wonder what they are payign the liscence for.

Censorship
Regulating bodies are the people that decide what is said. For example radio stations bleep out swearing words on air becasue it will be classed as offensive or people may complain. This does link in with taste and decency as it determines what is accpetable and what isn't.
Taste and Decency
This links in with consumer choice in the way that it's important for pwopleto have a choice on what they want to watch and listen to. But also what is classed as 'decent' enough to be shown before or after certain times. If someone thinks something id being shown at an inappropriate time, then it is OFCOM who will deal with these problems, and they will review what was wrong.
