Essay: Statutory Regulation - What are the arguments for and against statutory regulation of the newspaper industry?

What are the arguments for and against statutory regulation of the newspaper industry?  The first and most obvious is against the statutory regulation of newspapers as many people wouldn't trust the government, and some would argue that the government is corrupt and secretive enough. This would also potentially silence 'accountability journalism' and therefore the elite (those in power) will not be called out as often for their wrongdoings.

Representation Theory

1) Why is representation an important concept in Media Studies? Representation is important because it portrays people on what they are like and so if the media portrays people or a group of people in a bad way then it could lead to them people getting stereotyped and not being shown to how they truly are. There is so many cases where this is true but as time go's on some stereotypes on people tend to break. 2) How does the example of Kate Middleton show the way different meanings can be created in the media? It shows the media uses an image or a story to portray someone in however they want to be in a good light or a bad light and with the Kate Middleton example they could imply if they wanted choose the pictures that made her look bad and use the ones and make it seem like she had a drinking problem. But also if they wanted to make her look good then they could say how respectful and well manured in the way she is drinking the wine making her look good. 3) Summarise ...
