Copyright in the exclusive and assignable legal right, given to the originator fir a fixed number of years to print, publish, perform, film or record literary, artistic or musical material.
Copyright is a big issue the media industry faces. Legal protection is advised so that their original material cannot be used in somebody else's name. However copyright can only be applied on the application of the idea, not the idea itself.
Ethics in media are the moral principles that define how a group or person acts. However there are some issues in the ethical side of the media industry such as:
- Privacy
- Truth
- Trust
Exploitation and sensationalism have to be considered and taken into account. Offensive material such as privacy and copyright are not usually enforced by the law. Regularity bodies and codes of practice exists often within the industry.
Vogue has to be very careful regarding Accuracy. They have to make sure that they do not mislead their audience's, with inaccurate information presented in the magazine. They must also make sure that they do not alter or change any facts as this will undermine the audience's trust in their content.
If Vogue does fail with their accuracy, the PCC (Press Complaints commission) can help with complaints to the company fir their inaccuracy. The PCC is an independent body, which has been set to examine complaints about the editorial content of UK newspapers and magazine, such as Vogue.
Here is an example of someone who sent in a complaint to the PCC about an inaccuracy mistake by Vogue.
The complaint stated that an article on the scarf inaccurately claimed they were 'produced only in Kashmir' But Elaine Burnell clarified that pashmina were produced in countries and regions bordering the foothills of the Himalayan mountain range, including Nepal.
Vogue failed with Truth and Accuracy, meaning they were misleading their audiences.
Information produced in Vogue magazine must be well-sourced, supported by strong evidence, examined and tested, clear and unambiguous. Verified facts must form the basis of all news, not rumour and speculation otherwise issues will arise with the misleading of the audiences.
Accuracy is essential for Vogue when informing their audience.
Vogue need to ensure they have a reliable magazine for information, or else they will lose many viewers.
