Governing bodies:
OFCOM:
OFCOM is the office or regulations were everything that gets broadcasted for example TV, Radio and other services such as broadband, home phone and mobile services. OFCOM is responsible for what the public gets to see or hear in any these services and ensure that the content that gets broadcasted is not harmful in any way. I do not believe that OFCOM needs to regulate my Personal Media Profile or my coursework blog as the images and videos displayed can be viewed by anyway and wouldn’t cause any harm to anybody. If my advertisement products did air on the television they would have in that case to ensure that content does meet their criteria and if it would be pre–watershed or watershed.
Copyright:
The Copyright act gives the respectful owner the right to regulate how their work can be used or reproduced. All of the work that is on my blog has been produced by me and no copyright acts have been breached. The Lucozade advertisement was created for promotion purposes which I believe doesn’t hurt Lucozade’s name or branding.
Libel Slander Defamation:
Libel and slander are both types of defamation. Libel is an untrue defamatory statement that is made in writing. Slander is an untrue defamatory statement that is spoken orally. These Defamations are made in order to damage the reputation of a person or organisation.
I haven’t made any false statements or published wrong information within my work and I haven’t mislead any viewers or caused any harm to the products or companies that have been mentioned.
ASA:
The Advertising Standards Authority is the UK’s independent advertising regulator that makes sure Advertisements stick to the advertising rules they have created.
My Lucozade advertisment is targeted towards the age of 15 and above because of it being an Energy Drink which it would be unsuitable for audiences younger than 15 years old.
IPSO:
IPSO or Independent Press Standards Organisation is UK’s largest independent Newspaper and Magazine regulator. I do not believe that my advertisement poster beaches any of the regulations set by the IPSO and it would be suitable for Newspaper or Magazine use.
Ethical Issues:
Plagiarism :
Plagiarism is the representation of someone else’s work and ideas without naming the owner as the source of information.
All of the work published on my blog was made by me therefore does not plagiarise anyone else’s work or content.
Cyber Bullying:
Cyber Bullying is a form of bullying using Electronic Devices as a means of communication mostly by messaging or by uploading harmful content against someone.
Brand Mentioning:
Brand Mentioning is when a Brand is mentioned in forms such as Social Media Posts, BlogPosts and other forms of content. My Personal Media Profile does use Brand Referencing due Lucozade being part of my advertising campaign.
Internet Hacking:
Hacking is the unauthorised access to or control over computer network security systems for illicit purpose.
Data Protection :
Data Protection is process of employees or individuals of safeguarding data from corruption or loss.There is no data belonging to others that has been shared on either my Personal Media Profile or Coursework Blog.
