Media Regulation Timeline Activity

You are going to create a graphic representation timeline of major media regulation developments to present back to the class.

This needs to be within a NZ context. 


At the end of the lesson, you will present back to the class what you've found and what you've included - and why you think it's significant. 


Include:

  • press regulation (laws introduced in NZ of note)
  • film classification
  • broadcasting codes
  • internet regulation
  • AI moderation developments

Also include:

  • establishment of The Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA)
  • The New Zealand Media Council
  • emergence of platform moderation
  • privacy laws
  • Online Safety legislation
  • Office of Film and Literature Classification

Questions to answer 

  • Has regulation become stronger or weaker?
  • Why is regulating digital media harder?
