READ AND WRITE YOUR INTERPRETATION OF THE INFORMATION BELOW:
Media producers are always looking for ways to grab our attention and even try to influence how we live our lives.
This makes the media a powerful force in the modern world.
Therefore, regulation is essential to ensure that the media operates within clear guidelines and its ability to change the way we perceive the world, is kept in check.
An organisation can regulate itself internally (the magazine and newspaper industries do this), or an external agency can independently regulate it (the British Board of Film Classification regulates the film industry).
