    You begin with the important Levenson Inquiry and this enables us to understand both ethical and regulatory issues which impact media practices. You then identify the different regulatory bodies for each media sector. Please note that radio is regulated by Ofcom NOT RAJAR- THE LATTER GATHERS DATA BUT DOES NOT REGULATE PRACTICES. Action: for each sector and its corresponding regulatory body identify one possible issue which may be the point of debate around media practices. E.g BBFC and a violent film which must be given an 18 age rating.
