October 9, 2017 by Neville Hobson

The Guardian reports on a rise in complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the UK advertising regulator, who says ‘influencers’ on social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter fail to declare that they are being paid to publicise products. The newspaper defines 'influencers' thus: Social media celebrities who have large and engaged followings online.

PCC seeks to regulate press Twitter feeds

May 8, 2011 by Neville Hobson 

The Guardian's report on plans by the Press Complaints Commission (PCC), the UK's mainstream print-media regulator, to include tweets made by journalists in its regulatory remit shouldn't be a surprise to any observer of the contemporary and rapidly-evolving media landscape. As the Guardian reports, the PCC thinks some tweets by journalists would be considered as part of a newspaper's editorial content and, therefore, subject to existing regulation covering such content. It wants media … [Read more...] about PCC seeks to regulate press Twitter feeds
