Media regulation refers to the rules and guidelines that govern how media organizations operate. These regulations are designed to ensure that content is accurate, fair, and appropriate for various audiences. They can cover areas such as advertising standards, broadcasting rights, and the protection of intellectual property. Regulatory bodies, like the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, oversee these rules to promote responsible media practices. Media regulation also aims to protect consumers from harmful content and ensure diversity in media ownership, fostering a healthy public discourse in society.
