The Media
group sets out to investigate the role and influence of the
media and information communications technology.
The group
is fortunate in having the participation of NCW Affiliates,
whose contribution is a key element in its work.
The group has strong links with the BBC, which endeavours
to send a representative to meetings. The group also
maintains close ties with the Voice of the Listener and
Viewer and supports its events.
We welcome speakers to our meetings and receive reports from
our group members and affiliates on a wide range of issues,
such as advertising, broadcasting, film and video, the
Internet, Parliament and the Press. The group also organise
visits and seminars.
The group
is currently working on :
Standards in broadcasting
TV advertising aimed at children
Press standards
Classification of films
Communications & Licensing Bills |
At recent

The work of MediaWatch-UK
The teenage magazine arbitration panel
