It has become a common practice for the online media to make live broadcasts of the Stakeholders Congresses.

Electronic media content can be viewed differently according to personal opinions, but the First Amendment Rights of the United States Constitution lay the foundation for the legal system that is to be followed. These rights form a guide that help citizens have a stronger grasp on what is and isn’t acceptable within the eye of the law. Narrowing down to electronic media content, there has been a rise of tension involving first amendment rights of content regulations. The spectrum scarcity rationale has made it possible to control licensing schemes, along with direct content control to make sure rules are being followed according to the First Amendment. The differences between cable TV

In this digital age, however, the internet has provided opportunities allowing the public to share information directly. For this reason, it has brought about many controversies, and it is considered a break of the fair use exception. People can freely share files and videos over the internet (Doctorow, 2006).

In the article,” The Growing Impact of Social Media On Today's Sports Culture” by Anthony DiMoro, discusses the influence that Social Media has on the Sports Industry. Social Media has many different online communications. For example, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram just to name a few. DiMoro mentions his thoughts on Social Media,” We have all seen the good and the bad that can come from Social Media. But regardless if you are a casual user, have your mobile device attached to the hip so you can instantly access your social media profile(s) or don’t use social media at all, there is no denying the impact that Social Media has had on both our culture and on industries around the world.” Additionally, he addressed that,” The way that Social

At the beginning of 2012, a series of coordinated protests occurred online and offline against Stop Online Piracy Act Bill (SOPA) that expands U.S. law enforcement’s ability to combat online copyright infringement. As this protest involved many influential websites like Google and Wikipedia, it certainly draws national attention on SOPA. Whether censorship should be used online against online materials infringing property rights, as included in SOPA, is the controversial issue. Even though SOPA eventually was terminated by the Congress, things behind SOPA cause further debates. The relationship between censorship, free speech and copyrights in this bill is worth discussing. In SOPA,

It was necessary to revise the existing law on broadcasting services to take into account that broadcasting service plays a significant role in the political, economic and social development of the country by providing information, education and entertainment programs to the public. Moreover, broadcasting plays a major role in exercising the basic constitutional rights such as freedom of expression, access to information and the right to elect and be elected. It is then essential to ensure proper and fair utilisation of the limited radio wave wealth of the country. It seems ad well essential to clearly define the rights and obligations of persons who undertake broadcasting service.

Iosifidis starts the article by discussing in detail his first topic- social networks as a new public sphere. His main argument is that while social media spaces create new public spheres of both “democratizing and empowering functions” (2011), the Internet is also capable of both informing individuals and manipulating them. He argues that the public sphere is still a strong analytical instrument in today’s societies, as it “helps us help us make sense of the relationship between the media and democracy (civic engagement)” (2011). Iosifidis brings up several interesting and debatable reasons why social media is mostly overstated and represents hopefulness in the ability to be a public sphere. His six reasons are: open participation of social media may turn

As the media world keeps evolving, new forms of content delivery systems are constantly being made and interlaced into the entire spectrum of mainstream media. and one of the biggest systems to emerge from this technological advancement and convergence is the ‘Participatory Culture’

Media convergence refers to the services and activities emerged through the development of the Internet, where it has allowed for interlink between communication networks and media contents (ALRC, 2015). The establishment of ‘Internet’ has drastically changed the overall communication model in the society in the past 15 years. Where today the communication model has shifted from a mass communication into a networked communication model (Cardoso, 2008). The Internet has allowed for access to both the old and new media, which refers to communication through broadcasting (e.g. radio, newspaper, book etc.) and through the Internet, to be able to access any digital devices (e.g. blogs, social media, online newspapers etc.). This process has enhance human’s understanding of the world today and allowed people to gain greater knowledge of the world through media convergence, it has allowed for interconnection between all types of media through technologies such as mobile phones and SMS technology.

The main source of information, alongside legislature, that the American Judicial System uses in determining a judgment in a case is previously determined court cases that have relevance in the topic at hand. A great way to discover the legal realm of Social Media is to look at past judgments and measure them to the laws that currently exist. This measurement will give us an understanding of where Social Media stands in terms of legality. The following section will cover precedent cases that deal with the topic of Social Media and if it is protected by the First Amendment.

With $2 million marketing budget designated for Social Media, Video and Mobile in 2011, it is important to allocate the money according to the nature and return on investment (ROI) of each categories. In summary, out of the $2 million, $450,000 should be allocated to Social Media (22.5%), $500,000 to Videos (25%), $500,000 (25%) to Mobile, $250,000 to social partners (12.5%) and $300,000 (15%) to Store Kiosks. The detailed breakdown is shown in Table 1 below.

Just as one issue has been identified the next comes up; a market is finally defined just in time to watch it morphing into something else. The main regulatory challenge is to provide a future-proof framework which maintains its relevance no matter how the market develops. Key words here are technology-neutrality and ex post rather than ex ante regulation. Competitive imbalances between traditional providers and new market players must be evaluated and, as far as necessary and possible, be reflected in new regulation. The governance problems raised by digital technologies threaten to further erode state autonomy, as non-state actors are empowered to resolve major societal disputes (Rosenau and Singh, 2002). Alongside facilitating the development of the communications market to the benefit of the country, the basic rights of individuals and society must also be protected by legal and regulatory measures. And a last, but vital, aspect of regulation is that it should provide the market players with business security – they must be able to understand and trust the framework in which they

However, as the processes of new media involves a vast amount of personal information therefore its freedom of expression vis-à-vis to the right to data protection. As previously noted, when drafting the Directive, the tension of the two rights have been appreciated by introducing a number of exemptions and derogations. First of all, Article 3 exempts processes of individuals relating to their private, everyday life and those that falls outside the scope of Community law. Further, Article 9 introduced the special purposes clause regarding to traditional media activities which has now clearly extended to online surfaces, therefore it is rational to require the introduction of domestic derogations under Article 13 but only “if they are necessary to reconcile the right to privacy with the rules governing freedom of expression.” At last, Article 8 allows the derogations from restrictions if the content is in the public interest and subjects are appropriately safeguarded. However, these did not provide sufficient scope for the DPAs to scrutiny and act upon the conflict. In fact, the only state who was successfully able to utilise this exemption was Sweden where it substantially amended the Directive allowing the unrestricted collection of personal data for journalistic purposes.

The diversity of media systems around the world leads the media and communication industries in different countries and areas to different directions. As an overall background for every media and communication company in a certain area to innovate new products/services and develop, the media system plays an important role during a product/service’s lifecycle from its concept design to its growth and maturity. In this case, this essay will take a Chinese social network service (SNS) WeChat as example to analyze how does China’s protectionist model influence WeChat’s major features and

The media is considered a central part in enabling communication and of late very significant information is conveyed through the internet. There is a changing trend in the media that is used as traditionally one would think of the radio, television, newspaper when the name media was mentioned. There is however a growing trend in the use of the internet to substitute or compliment the services that were traditionally provided by the above traditional media.
