Attitude Industry: Flashcards
Regulation- Livingstone & Lunt
It is very difficult for a nation to regulate the internet, websites are available across the globe so what may be regulated in the UK is ineffective as the site can be accessed overseas. The website has a ‘get in touch’ feature which allows audiences to send queries or complaints to the company, which could influence the content posted.

The website layout is very similar to a tabloid newspaper - taking less risk. Lead intros are short and snappy, brief summaries meaning they are shareable - increase readership. Attitude is fairly dependant on naked men and sexual desire to sell their magazine, given covers. Rely on exposure to social media to fund the brand but there is limited radical potential of the internet, there is no share button - possibly because of regulation? They are limiting audience input. All articles are equal importance, same size, audiences can pick what is important to them.
