The paper attempts to outline the Polish National Broadcasting Council’s establishing and evaluating its activities. The author observes that after 1989, one of the most essential achievements of the Polish media market was the creation of the National Broadcasting Council (Krajowa Rada Radiofonii i Telewizji KRRiT), that laid the foundations for a new media landscape in Poland. In a broader perspective, despite being criticized, the National Broadcasting Council is to meet high expectations for the electronic media regulation, its impact on state policy in implementing cultural and educational tasks by the Polish community broadcasters. Concurrently, making mistakes and handling criticism was partly caused by the Council politicization bias, a large executive subordination that doesn’t comply both with the Law “On Television and Radio Broadcasting” and European practice. Notable, the success of community broadcasters, who value interaction with viewers and listeners, should be a model for audiovisual sector to emulate.

Central Term

During 1999–2000, the Productivity Commission's inquiry into Broadcasting, together with the ABA's ‘cash for comment’ inquiry, painted the old shibboleth of media influence in a new light. Influence has been a central term in government media regulation, but the term has rarely been interrogated from first principles in the policy domain. Assumptions have been made about the greater influence of television compared with radio, in spite of ongoing controversy centring around the cash for comment inquiry that has spotlighted both the power of talkback radio kings and their potential to misuse it. Policy-makers and politicians have also been overly optimistic about the potential of new media forms to ameliorate concentration of influence in the hands of media oligopolies. After examining the complex flows of influence within and between media organisations, this paper lists several recommendations for future directions in research on the subject.

As an extension of my earlier work on ‘Internet Regulation in Singapore’ (Lee and Birch, 2000), this paper provides an update on Singapore's relentless drive towards new media regulation and ideological/political control. Taking on board the discourse of auto-regulation — that regulating the internet in Singapore is really about ensuring an ‘automatic functioning of power’ for the sake of political expedience and longevity — this paper offers some new insights into the politics of internet auto-regulation in Singapore, from its humble beginnings of censorship and ‘sleaze’ control (in the mid-1990s) to recent attempts at restricting free flows of information via new laws governing foreign broadcasters and the ‘liberal’ stifling of online political campaigning and debates (in 2001). I conclude that, despite its authoritarian leanings, the ‘success' of Singapore's internet and cultural policy of auto-regulation gives it the potential to become the global-accepted regulatory mindset.

This article explores the role of privacy policies on internet sites as a newly emerging news gatekeeping factor as well as part of the new web world wars between regulators and internet giants' privacy policies, like the one of Google. All these developments are related to both innovation excellence and customer experience, in every aspect of life, business and entertainment, and therefore of the news industry. One of the most important fights of these recent wars is raging between Google and the EU on the field of customers' experience and their privacy protection. The author argues that even the updated news gatekeeping model by ICTs influences should be mapped more precisely in every one of its traditional pillars, focusing on the consumer's data protection. Their potential exploitation by search engines and advertisement industries from one side and the privacy protection claims from international institutions from the other, indicate the need of new variables in the equation of the updated media gatekeeping model, as derived from global regulations on the issue. The reactions of the EU to the actions of Google indicate the momentum of wars in citizen–customer's experience, which is the most reliable key performance indicator in the e/m commerce sector. A convenience sample's data show that the policy adopted by the EU and the one applied by the global content industries would remap the audiences' preferences and therefore the news industries strategies.

Data Privacy Protection

With the rapid development of cloud storage technology, the cloud storage platform has gradually been used to store data. However, the privacy protection strategy provided by public cloud storage platform is hard to be trust by users. Moreover, they are unable to customize their own storage strategy according to their demands. This study proposed a consistency-availability-partition tolerance (CAP) theory -based data privacy protection strategy, which firstly employed CAP theory to provide privacy data protection for users and then offer users with choice to select corresponding privacy strategy to store data. Moreover, a total of three privacy protection strategies were put forward, focusing on the balance between data consistency and response time, data consistency and data availability, as well as response time and availability respectively.

Written by a specialist team of academics, judges and practising lawyers from the UK and abroad under the editorial direction of Dr Nicole Moreham and Sir Mark Warby, The Law of Privacy and the Media gives expert guidance for practitioners working on cases relating to privacy and the media, and will be of value to academics with an interest in this field. The first two editions of this book quickly established themselves as the leading reference works on the rapidly developing law of privacy in England and Wales. They have been frequently referred to in argument in privacy cases, and extracts have been cited with approval in judgments of the High Court and Courts of Appeal. Following the Leveson Inquiry, the laws and regulations governing the English media have come under intense scrutiny. This work has been revised and updated to incorporate discussion of both those debates and the continually changing landscape of privacy protection. The book offers an overview of English media privacy law, outlining key legislation and legal rules. It includes comparative perspectives and addresses current debates about the form and scope of modern privacy protection. The Law of Privacy and the Media provides detailed but accessible chapters on the various forms of wrongful publication of personal information, as well as intrusion into physical privacy, before considering justifications and defences, remedies and the procedure to be followed in such cases. This edition includes new chapters giving separate consideration to new media and harassment by publication. The Law of Privacy and the Media is essential reading for all those who act for or against the media or who have a general interest in the subject.
