Media Ownership
Public services Broadcasting: When lord Reith first set up the BBC he saw that in American radio the main source of money was from adverts. He didn't like this system and said, 'public service, rather than public exploitation'. So, he made a broadcasting service that would inform and benefit the public rather than exploit them.
Commercial broadcasting: Commercial broadcasting is when the audience is the product that companies such as ITV and Sky1 sell to the advertising companies. the higher the number of viewers at a time the higher the advertising slot will cost. the other variable that increases cost is the class of the audience watching, 'Morse' for example was a high budget detective series and attracted a middle-class audience which meant the advertising slots during Morse cost more.
Corporate and private ownership:
Corporate ownership means a company that is not owned by an any one individual and can be commercial or PSB. An example of one of these companies is news corporation.
Private Ownership is a company that is owned by (group) of individual(s)
Global Companies: This is when companies expand their products to a global audience, for example the Simpsons, it would be hard to go anywhere in the world without people knowing who the Simpsons are. companies do this to get bigger audiences to buy their products.
Concentration of Ownership: In the media industry, very few companies have control over all the worlds media, News Corp These companies have all this control to minimalize competition and they can advertise within the same company, this is called synergy.
Vertical integration: Vertical integration is when a parent company owns other companies in each sector of the industry. For example, the Warner brothers franchise. this decreases the cost massively as they are using their own company.
Studio
Warner Studios
Company
Warner Distributors
Cinemas
Warner Villages
Horizontal Integration/ Monopolisation: This is when a company will expand and buy other companies of the same field. For example, Disney recently bought Lucas arts. This allows the company to knock out the competition and can be a very healthy investment.
This License Fee: The licence fee is a payment that everyone in the United Kingdom with a television must make. the license fee funds the BBC. lord Reith chose this system instead of advertisements and government funding. he thought that using advertisements would be exploiting the public rather than informing them. he didn't want the government to fund the BBC because he thought that they would pressure the news into becoming biased.
Subscription: Subscription is when the audience must pay a monthly (or even weekly) fee for having certain channels. the most well-known company in the UK to do this is Sky.
One off Payment to own product: These are products such as BLU Rays and DVD’s and digital copies.
Pay per view: This is when someone will pay to watch a media text such as boxing or a film on the television.
Sponsorship: this is when a company pays to have its name at the start or the end of a show, for example Mercedes sponsors 24: Live Another Day
Advertising: This is the source of funding for channels other than the BBC. Advertising companies pay to get the best slots while shows are on. They want big audiences with large amounts of money (slots with these two factors would be more expensive than other slots).
Product Placement: this is when companies pay to have their product in a media text as a type of advertising. For example, James Bond’s product placements are Aston Martin, BMW and Sony phones/computers.
Private Capital: this is when you get people to invest in your project, like friends and family. However, an exceptional case of this is Robert Rodriguez’s Film ‘El Mariachi’, he funded it by selling his body to science.
Crowd Funding: This is when members of the public throw in relatively small amounts of money.
Development funds: These are companies that give money to the media industry for filmmaking, these companies include the national lottery and the BFI

Complaint letter
Dear Flipside media
I am writing to inform you that your job description for the apprentice digital video production producer has several errors throughout the job description. The letter has several contractual errors and employment legislation errors. Work contracts should comply with privacy clauses and exclusivity clauses. The exclusivity clause is an optional clause that requires both parties to keep the being of the confidentiality agreement a secret. The confidentiality clause is a legal document that only allows the model to work for one agency, and not work for any other agencies. There have been several examples heard around the world where these two clauses have been broken. One of which was when a black worker (Emmanuel Obikwee) was laid off from an immigration office leaving only white British workers left there, Emmanuel was awarded over £65,000.
In this letter, the equality act of 2010 is broken. The equality act is when any discrimination against race, gender or age is illegal, this is to be considered when employing staff, cast and crew and when individuals, groups and related issues. It is broken on your letter when you say that the age should be ‘Below 30’, which is age discrimination and breaks the equality act. In addition, the last part of the employment details it says ‘Religious views: Christian’ which in my opinion is absurd. This statement breaks employment equality rules (religion or belief) and discriminates heavily against people of other religious alignment. Another part that draws my attention is where the salary says between ‘£15,000 – £35,000’. What strikes me about this statement is that there is a £20,000 gap between the two salaries. My question is what is the difference between earning £15000 and £35000? Will there be discrimination involved to separate between the two salaries? There are trade unions set up to make sure that the integrity of the trade is kept. I do not think that the trade unions would look upon this salary statement kindly.
Also employment legislation may be a problem as you, the employer are responsible for the well-being of your employees, this means that you are liable for any physical or emotional harm as well as any employee acts or omissions while under their employment. The content of the documentary could cause some emotional harm to your employees. If the employee believes that, you are responsible for any social or physical they are entitled compensation as of the compulsory insurance act of 1969.
In the details of the job it concerns me because of the rather offensive material it could affect the codes of practice that are there to protect the consumer and the employee. The next thing that disturbs me in the letter that there will be ‘re-enactments’. This jumps out at me as a massive problem as the main theme of the media text is rape! This will be extremely upsetting to the audience and possibly the people involved on and offset and infringes several rules in the obscene publications act.
The obscene publications act of 1959 is an act passed by parliament to make sure that media that has been deemed as obscene is not shown to the public in the UK and Wales. This significantly improved the containment of obscene material on the television and I think that this documentary would be breaking this law.
Then once again I have to come back to the fact that it ‘religious views: Christian’ At this time in the media that could cause massive problems as different religious views other than Christian are already frowned upon so this would be another racial blow. Ridiculous statements such as this one could cause uproar in the UK as these groups have been stepped on already many times before.
The final element that strikes me as a bit strange is it says that this film/documentary will be screened to. This breaks many OFCOM codes, as this will be screened to youths in a school this particularly violates the regulations to do with under eighteens and harm and offence. The ones that mostly apply to our violations are these
1.1: material that can seriously impair the physical, mental or moral state of people under 18 cannot be broadcast.
1.2: in the provision of services broadcasters must take all reasonable steps to protect people under eighteen. For television services, this is in addition to their obligations resulting from the audio-visual media services directive.
1.3: children must be protected by appropriate broadcasting schedules so they are protected from media that may be inappropriate for them.
Your job letter breaks all three of these regulations as you intend to show this media text to under eighteens. OFCOM exists because of the communications act (2003) and the broadcasting act (1990). It also dis-obeys the obscene publications act, as the subject matter will be deemed too obscene to show to schoolchildren.
I think that the publication would be given a 15 if it were given to the BBFC to regulate this is because the documentary will most likely have these three bullet points as content:
'Strong verbal references to sex'
'Sexual nudity'
'Brief scenes of sexual or verbal references to sexual violence'
The rating of 15 would be an inappropriate rating to show to school pupils.
Yours sincerely,
Reece Woodhouse
