i have been giving presentation to certain content owners recently saw their mouth open

No matter what, “bad guys” will allways find new ways to do their job

Existing media spaces have not been appropriately regulated and we are discussing “new media”?

It Sounds good that now government and industies are taking some pain in regulation them....I heard that now government is coming up with new broadcasting bill ......so atleast government is woked up agfter a great sleep of around 15 years. i would like to share some view on that as well:

Content regulation being proposed is not unique to India
In UK, OFCOM regulates content and advertising in a similar manner as is proposed in India. In USA, FCC has strict content and viewer ship time guidelines.

Youth are very susceptible to TV programming
It has been established that the youth are very susceptible to TV programming. They live in a world of illusion created by misleading stories on TV. The recent trend of motor cycle racing, doing stunts is a reflection of illusory view life created by irresponsible media.

Regulation of content should be extended to IPTV media as well
The European regulators are taking a serious move towards regulating TV content as well as content delivered via online media such as IPTV. Regulation is being seen as essential as IPTV numbers grow to millions. In India the content regulation is a welcome step and should be extended to IP TV.

well i agree with the above article and comment on that even i just to share up some more views on this about content code ......there should me a strong content code or regulatotory body to maintain this....as it effects our society and people as well......

Socially important programs are now totally relegated to obscurity
We support the content bill as it proposes to bring back socially important programming. Today it has become rare to see any program which holds upright social causes, rural development or social integration except on the Doordarshan channels. With the increasing popularity of private channels, a reasonable time should be devoted to social programs.

Broadcasting content regulation is a norm rather than exception
Regulating broadcasting content is a norm rather an exception. No country allows unregulated sensationalization of events, endless repetition of violent scenes or presenting one sided views.

Media Complaints is a welcome step
We welcome the proposed content regulation where members of the public will have a forum for lodging complaints against excessive violence, sex, unrated programming or showing of non permitted content. All foreign regulators have such complaint sites such as the Australian regulator, Ofcom or FCC.

so it should be regulated.

well its good to see lots of comments are there regarding new policies on content code and broadcasting bill......i have also heard the broadcasting bill is due to release very soon and i suppose its a good move by governmenrt after a very long time to regulated TV CHANNELS AND SPECIALLY NEWS CHANNELS.

I would like share my views on some point about news channels as they arre just diverting from there basics....

1. Channels are not above showing banned content such as faces of criminals who are yet to be presented for identification parade, minor victims or under trials, witnesses etc. This has resulted in the courts throwing out cases. In many cases the witnesses are then compromised or threatened. This practice is a result of the race between the channels to out do each other.

2.  News channels while showing an event often mix the content with the clippings of similar events such as terrorist attacks, fires or killings. This serves to give impression of a much higher severity and damage as against what might have happened.

so there must be some thing to regulate them.

I agree with the above comment on regulation and monitoring all TV and News channels strongly ...... i would like to add some more points on the above discussion......  As now most of the news channels are r4acing for increasing their TRP’s by showing all irrelevent contents (like Comedy, more bollywood stuff etc).

TRP race has made shocking content essential for survival
In a race to garner the TRPs, which translate into advertising revenues, the channels have now been forced to show shocking content, which stuns the viewer and keeps him glued with violence and horror. Self regulation is not working. The proposal of oversight regulation on the basis of international standards is welcome.

Self regulation is not happening in the industry
Those who oppose the broadcast bill and the content regulation code are preaching about self regulation. However if we see the current state of news channels, the self regulation is not working. Channels are being forced into showing more and more horrific content because other channels are showing the same. It has become a matter of survival. Content regulation will allow all channels to revert to normal reporting.

needs to be regulated.

I fully agree with the above comments by our dear friends , I feel that the government is trying to keep the media sector under pressure by putting up a bill of such quality. I feel that there is a need to regulate the obscene TV shows but it should not be decided by a government officer or a politician. there should be regulatory body to be set up fpr all this. I am just listing out some of my observation in regards of this.

Presenting one sided views is dangerous for a democratic polity
We welcome the proposed provision in the bill to present both side views in any debate or political or social reporting. At present political parties are launching channels merely to project one sided views.

Complaints site for advertising is a welcome step
Many of the advertisements, in order to be catchy carry the performance of dangerous events or stunts or show shocking violence or mistreatment. If the public can have a widely advertised site where we can complain, perhaps such events will be reduced.
