Regulations

IPSO - the organisation responsible for regulating newspapers and magazines in the UK.

Digital technology makes it pretty much impossible for regulation to be effective;

Problems with the regulations being broken by big organisations like the times is that power and money can get you out of anything, they would be able to pay anything off if they were to be sued, etc.

Woman magazine doesn't break any regulatory guidelines despite its controversial ideologies. It was harder to break rules and regulations at the time because of how digital technology didn't exist.

Oz Magazine cover :

- Full frontal nudity
- 'school kids issue' we can't tell if it's a children's magazine;    implying maybe the naked girls in the front cover are young in an    attempt to be controversial.
- Deliberately broke the law, but didn't care; exercising the right    to freedom of speech?

ASA - advertising standards authority

Condé Nast Traveller :

Might promote false ideas; that people might see the image of the 'unhealthily thin' girl and want to be like that, even though it's dangerous.

Cultivation theory can be used in the sense people might see this over and over and further manipulate the audience into wanting a dangerously thin body with the idea that it's physically appealing.
