Unit 1: Task 9
Legal/Ethical Issues and
Regulation
Alice Mutch
Possible impact on audience
 There is no swearing or inappropriate language during Miranda as
its at 8pm, which is classed as day time television so its got to be
suitable for people of all ages to watch.
We must not include the strongest language before the watershed
 No violence is aired on the Miranda show due to the time of the
programme and as the genre is a comedy theres no need for
violence.
Violence, its aftermath and descriptions of violence, broadcast in pre
watershed programmes, it must be appropriate to the likely
audience and editorially justified.
 Nudity is forbidden on Miranda
Nudity before the watershed or in online content likely to appeal to a
significant proportion of children
Relevant Laws
 General Laws: what effect breaking the law might have on the BBC, and
what the effect might be on the people concerned.
There may be occasions where providing accurate, impartial and fair
coverage in the public interest involves possible conflict with the law.
 Defamation: This is when an individual can sue for damage to their
reputation caused by material broadcast to a third party, including
material published online.
If involved in an action for defamation there are a number of possible
defenses but, generally, broadcasters will need to have good evidence to
back up what they say
 Privacy: When broadcasting a story which contains private
information, each piece of private information will need to be considered
separately.
If there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, the court will seek to balance
the individuals right to privacy against the medias right to freedom of
expression
 Contempt: contempt of court is the body of law which
protects the integrity of the legal process from outside
influence.
These rules apply to all courts and tribunals exercising the
judicial authority state
 Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Rights: This
includes copyright, moral rights, performers rights, trade
marks, patents and designs and rights to prevent passing
off and breach of confidence.
Advice must be sought from the Talent and Rights Negotions
Group (TRNG) in Rights and Business Affairs about the
commissioning or clearance of copyright for use in BBC
programmes or the contracting of performers.
Relevant Regulatory Bodies
There are a range of regulatory bodies in the UK that
oversee different parts of the Media
 Ofcom  the Communications Regulator responsible
for regulating TV and radio  eg. enforcing the
watershed
 BBFC  British Board of Film Classification 
responsible for providing age ratings for films
 The BBC  as a Public Service Broadcaster, has its own
very strict guidelines about what it can and cannot
broadcast
