Media Term Thursday #33
/Censorship
When a government body or someone else not involved in a media production decides that some elements of the production must be changed or removed so it doesn’t offend a particular group’s values or break the law.
In Australia, The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) regulates television and radio while the Classification Board oversees films, DVDs, computer games and print media.
Self-censorship occurs during production when the selection process takes into account these external constraints.
