ITC, BSC and Radio Authority Say That Audiences Still Want Regulation
Audiences want television and radio content to be regulated, but they can imagine a future in which a ‘multi-layered’ approach to regulating channels might be possible, according to unsurprisingly favourable research published yesterday by the BSC, ITC and Radio Authority.
The report – ‘Broadcasting Standards Regulation’ – claims to provide opinions from groups of adults about current regulatory codes for radio and television. The researchers interviewed groups of 20 participants during a series of three one-day participative forums.
Of course the validity of the report will rest on exactly how many people were actually interviewed (thereby assessing the strength of the inference), what questions they were asked and in what form they were asked them and how the interviewees were selected. Expect an analysis of the analysis from our audience research and media effects svengali – Russ Taylor.
