Regulatory Bodies in Radio


Regulatory bodies are legal bodies that ensure that adverts being broadcast are suitable and appropriate. They are able to find content that is deemed inappropriate, sends out a bad message, or is too explicit for a wide audience, and prevents them from reaching the airwaves. Some of the things that these regulatory bodies check for include the use of children, tone, ethics and profane language.

When I create my own commercial radio advert, I shall ensure that my content won't offend anybody. I will bear in mind the fact that throughout the day my advert could be heard by younger or more vulnerable listeners. Due to this, I shall make sure that the advert is suitable for the general public.

I have attempted to write several novels, though I have never managed to make it to the end of them as I tend to find myself either losing confidence in the plot or becoming distracted by other projects. I do, however, write poetry and self-publish them of the story-sharing plat...

Sample Article - The Hunger Games Franchise

This is a sample article to demonstrate the type of content that will appear in my action film magazine titled 'Spotlight'. - The Hunger Games film franchise broke box office records and made large amounts of money across the globe. Three years later, it is still one of the most popular franchises in the world. The four-film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' trilogy has made just under three billion dollars in total, with the highest ranking instalment being Catching Fire. Released in late 2013, the film follows Katniss Everdeen - portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence - as she embarks on a tour of the districts of Panem succeeding her victory in the 74th Hunger Games with her district partner, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). It is during this tour that we discover the extent of Katniss' effect on the rest of the country, and she starts to work out the fact that an uprising is brewing. Shortly after the conclusion of her expedition, the series' famous protagonist discov...

The Appeal of Film Magazine Covers

The cover of film magazines tend to be a little busier than those of magazines from any other genre. Perhaps this is because they aim to highlight the explosive nature of hit new action films or due to the excitement of a cinematic masterpiece. They usually feature a leading character from the newest releases in front of an interesting background - often some sort of explosion. By featuring a celebrity in character on the cover page, fans are more likely to purchase the product, thus making it more successful. The name of magazines usually falls behind the head of whoever is on the cover as it is often the celebrity, not the actual magazine itself, that sells the product. Text on the cover must stand out so as to allow readers to know what content can be found inside, but shouldn't take away from the cover image. Colour schemes play a key part in this as they ensure that the magazine has a polished and professional finish. Cover pages also tend to use lots of positive adjectives an...
