Book Synopsis Regulating Audiovisual Services by : Thomas Gibbons
Download or read book Regulating Audiovisual Services written by Thomas Gibbons and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 711 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the changing nature of audiovisual services has had a significant impact on regulatory policy and practice. The adoption of digital technology means that broadcasting, cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony are converging, enabling each of them to deliver the same kinds of content and allowing users to exercise much greater choice over the kind of material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays examine the implications for regulatory design, asking whether there is still a role for traditional-style state controls, or whether other techniques, such as competition in the market and self-regulation, are more appropriate. They also explore how, in the digital era, structural issues of media ownership and control become problems of access and interconnection between services and how content regulation focuses more on problems raised by the interactions between providers and users, the relationship between freedom of information and technologies to control it and the international reach of the new media.
Book Synopsis Audiovisual Regulation under Pressure by : Thomas Gibbons
Download or read book Audiovisual Regulation under Pressure written by Thomas Gibbons and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of globalization and new media technologies, can policy makers and regulators withstand deregulatory pressures on the ‘cultural policy toolkit’ for television? This comparative study provides an interdisciplinary investigation of trends in audiovisual regulation, with the focus on television and new media. It considers pressures for deregulation and for policy in this field to prioritise market development and economic goals rather than traditional cultural and democratic objectives, notably public service content, the promotion of national and local culture, media pluralism and diversity. The book explores regulatory policy in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe. The book focuses on a range of instruments designed for promoting pluralism and cultural diversity, particularly the role of public service broadcasting and the range of measures available for promoting cultural policy goals, such as subsidies, scheduling and investment quotas, as well as (particularly national) media ownership rules. The book draws on findings of two research projects funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council and is written in an accessible style by leading scholars of media law and policy, who bring to bear insights from their respective disciplines of law and political science.

Book Synopsis The Regulation of On-demand Audiovisual Services by : Council of Europe
Download or read book The Regulation of On-demand Audiovisual Services written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2012 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of 2011, the European Commission will report for the first time on the application of the Audiovisual Media Services Directive. The Commission's letters to member states asking for information in this connection were unusually long and detailed, thus indicating the difficulties experienced in incorporating the Directive into domestic law. These difficulties mainly arise with respect to regulating non-linear audiovisual media services. For this reason, in April 2011 the European Audiovisual Observatory and the Institute for European Media Law invited 25 experts on audiovisual media law to a workshop at which an assessment was made of the situation with regard to the regulation of on-demand audiovisual services. The principal questions for discussion were how the new provisions on the scope of the Directive have been incorporated into domestic law and how member states have handled the possibility of promoting the self- or co-regulation of on-demand audiovisual services. The papers on which the workshop was based and a detailed report on the discussions that followed the various contributions are summarised in this IRIS Special and form a comprehensive overview of the possible regulation. After reading this IRIS Special, the somewhat provocative question in the title, "Chaos or Coherence?", can probably be answered by establishing that the regulatory landscape in Europe is characterised by both chaos and coherence
Book Synopsis Co-regulation of the Media in Europe by : European Audiovisual Observatory
Download or read book Co-regulation of the Media in Europe written by European Audiovisual Observatory and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is based on the discussions of a workshop organised by the European Audiovisual Observatory in September 2002, in collaboration with the Institute of European Media Law and the Institute for Information Law. It examines co-regulation as an alternative to traditional forms of media regulation (parliamentary acts, EU directives etc) in Europe, current examples of its use and possible areas of application, characteristics and legal requirements, benefits and risks associated with it. Topics discussed include: a comparison of co-regulation systems in relation to self-monitoring and self-regulation regimes, protection of human dignity, distribution of racist content, technical standards, the EU legal and policy framework, the Council of Europe approach, the implementation and enforcement of co-regulation codes in a transfrontier context, example texts for self-regulation and co-regulation in advertising, youth protection, hate speech, the independence of journalists and technical standards.
Book Synopsis The Regulatory Framework for Audiovisual Media Services in Russia by : European Audiovisual Observatory
Download or read book The Regulatory Framework for Audiovisual Media Services in Russia written by European Audiovisual Observatory and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia is by far the largest European television market outside the area where EU law applies. The country's approximately 17% share of the entire European population means that the Russian television market has remarkable economic potential. Against this background, it is also all the more considerable how little information has been published outside Russia on the legal bases of, and conditions applying to, this market. This publication entitled "The Regulatory Framework for Audiovisual Media Services in Russia" in the IRIS Special series closes this gap. It provides a detailed analysis of the bases and regulatory framework for broadcasting in Russia and discusses in this context the adaptation of the legal framework to new audiovisual media services, drawing attention to the big differences between the EU and Russia and pointing out that these difference are due to the fact that the pace of development of digital media services in Russia is still slow. The publication, which has been written by Andrei Richter, Director of the Moscow based Institute for Media Law and Media Policy and one of Russia's outstanding media specialists, provides a comprehensive and precise picture of the regulation of broadcasting in Russia.

Book Synopsis Implementing the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive by : Jenny Weinand
Download or read book Implementing the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive written by Jenny Weinand and published by . This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of continuing media convergence, the present volume critically examines the EU's legal framework for audiovisual media services. To this end, it analyses measures taken by the French, German and British national regulatory authorities to implement and apply a certain number of rules set out in the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD). It focuses in particular on the rules defining the Directive's scope of application and those protecting minors in an on-demand environment. This book pinpoints the similarities and differences of national regulatory processes, from which it derives best practices, and it takes a clear position in the current debate on the revision of the AVMSD, offering concrete suggestions for the future design of the EU legal framework for audiovisual media services.
Book Synopsis The Regulation of Subsidies Within the General Agreement on Trade in Services of the WTO by : Pietro Poretti
Download or read book The Regulation of Subsidies Within the General Agreement on Trade in Services of the WTO written by Pietro Poretti and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) extends the multilateral trading system to services. Little is said In the GATS about subsidies, beyond stipulating that subsidies are subject to the existing provisions, including the most-favoured-nation and national-treatment principles, and that Members shall enter into negotiations with a view to developing the disciplines necessary to avoid the trade distorting effects of subsidies." "This timely book provides a comprehensive analysis of services subsidies under the GATS. It begins with a description of services and trade in services, and of the salient characteristics that make regulation of services subsidies more complex than those associated with agricultural and industrial goods. It then analyzes the economic arguments underpinning the need for regulation, as well as the need for governments to retain sufficient latitude to implement non-trade-related policy measures. A description of the information available on services subsidies is followed by a classification of services subsidies according to their distortive effects, and by a detailed analysis of those elements that may form a definition of services subsidies for the purpose of a future regulatory framework." "A key section is devoted to the analysis of those existing provisions of the GATS that may exert a certain measure of discipline on services subsidies, and to the question of the desirability and technical feasibility of countervailing measures. Rules on services subsidies contained in regional trade agreements and the need for special and differential treatment for services subsidies by developing countries are also discussed. Finally, and prior to the conclusion, two sectoral studies deal with the question of subsidies aimed at attracting foreign direct investment and subsidies to the audiovisual sector." "This work represents the first extensive and comprehensive analysis of the issue of services subsidies in the context of the GATS, and includes numerous references to relevant European Union State Aid legislation and jurisprudence." --Book Jacket.
Book Synopsis Media Freedom and Pluralism by : Beata Klimkiewicz
Download or read book Media Freedom and Pluralism written by Beata Klimkiewicz and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addresses a critical analysis of major media policies in the European Union and Council of Europe at the period of profound changes affecting both media environments and use, as well as the logic of media policy-making and reconfiguration of traditional regulatory models. The analytical problem-related approach seems to better reflect a media policy process as an interrelated part of European integration, formation of European citizenship, and exercise of communication rights within the European communicative space. The question of normative expectations is to be compared in this case with media policy rationales, mechanisms of implementation (transposing rules from EU to national levels), and outcomes.
Book Synopsis Audiovisual Media Services Without Frontiers by : European Audiovisual Observatory
Download or read book Audiovisual Media Services Without Frontiers written by European Audiovisual Observatory and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2006 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current ongoing revision of the EC's Television without Frontiers (TVwF) Directive clearly raises major questions for the future of the regulation of linear and non-linear services. However, it also gives rise to reflection concerning the Council of Europe's European Convention on Transfrontier Television (ECTT), a parallel regulatory instrument concerning cross-border broadcasting. At a time of major transformation of the European legal instruments which are applied to broadcasting and new audiovisual services, this new report from the European Audiovisual Observatory takes stock of recent and current problem areas in broadcasting regulation in the light of the challenges these will raise for the new extended regulation. The report analyses issues of the practical application of the TVwF Directive and the ECTT in their current form. It also raises the question of the future cohabitation of the two instruments following the completed revision of the TVwF Directive, not forgetting that there will clearly be a period where the two instruments will be "out of phase" with each other.

Book Synopsis The EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive by : Mark D Cole
Download or read book The EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive written by Mark D Cole and published by Beck/Hart. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European audiovisual industry is one of the most dynamic markets in the European Union. The Audiovisual Media Services Directive is the bedrock of the EU's audiovisual and media policies. It regulates diverse aspects for providers of television broadcasting and on-demand services and entered into force in December 2007. Due to the volatility of a market facing convergence of media and important policy choices, for instance whether to allow product placement, Member States have struggled with the transposition of this Directive. This completely new commentary employs an innovative approach: Based on English translations, the study systematically examines the national implementing measures of the future 28 Member States (including Croatia). It sets out, article-by-article, the original provisions contained in the Directive before analysing domestic transpositions. National measures are grouped in order to reveal similarities and differences and examined for compliance with the Directive. This comparative perspective contributes to the discussions on reforms of the Directive or the EU's approach to new media services.

Alongside full legislative analysis and article-by-article commentary, the Commentary illustrates the underlying basic principles of free movement and non-discrimination and provides insights into the influence of copyright on other areas of EU policy, including telecoms and bilateral trade agreements.

Download or read book Media Law in Botswana written by Charles Manga Fombad and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this analysis of media law in Botswana surveys the massively altered and enlarged legal landscape traditionally encompassed in laws pertaining to freedom of expression and regulation of communications. Everywhere, a shift from mass media to mass self-communication has put enormous pressure on traditional law models. An introduction describing the main actors and salient aspects of media markets is followed by in-depth analyses of print media, radio and television broadcasting, the Internet, commercial communications, political advertising, concentration in media markets, and media regulation. Among the topics that arise for discussion are privacy, cultural policy, protection of minors, competition policy, access to digital gateways, protection of journalists’ sources, standardization and interoperability, and liability of intermediaries. Relevant case law is considered throughout, as are various ethical codes. A clear, comprehensive overview of media legislation, case law, and doctrine, presented from the practitioner’s point of view, this book is a valuable time-saving resource for all concerned with media and communication freedom. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Botswana will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative media law.
