News Lesson- Regulation and the press

the regulatory body of the press is considered weak and has little to no clout in stopping papers, For example, the daily mail ran a story of a murder. In march 2021, they ran a story on the murder of Sarah Everard, in which they constantly pinned the murder on the police officer who was suspected to have commuted the crime. In which, they gave the mans name, address and many other details which would normally result in complaints.

The daily mail is a very pro-royal paper, one of the main reasons is because of their owner, Viscount Rothmere

This is due to the fact that Netflix are entirely concerned with maximizing profits and must be as appealing to mass audience as possible. Whereas with DRs the killing, they are more fixated on only using the Nordic Noire genre, appealing to a far more niche ABC1 audience. Because of DR being a Public Service Broadcaster with a goal of being a refection of he country and point out social flaws in Denmark, DR are able to take risks and not be con
