What issues may there be regarding media effects and /or regulation/ censorship as a result of changes due to new and digital media?
Media regulation is the control or guidance of mass media by governments and other bodies.
Media effects: affect how their audiences think and behave.
The issues due to the change of new and digital media can be that audiences may not feel safe on social media sites because they cannot freely express their opinions. For example, in Greenford High School, students have been in trouble for posting their opinions on Twitter/ Facebook and this is an issue because why should you get into trouble for saying something harmless on a SOCIAL MEDIA SITE (links with censorship). Isn't that what social media is all about? So the issues with regulation might be a problem with audiences as they can't say what they really feel without getting into trouble. However, this could affect how audiences behave and think (media effects) as they are in fear of getting punished.
With Media regulation, the audience may respond negatively because they go on social media for escapism and to be controlled on the internet and to be controlled in reality will create frustration.
