Introduction. This publication analyzes the urgent problem of state regulation and functioning of broadcasting in the border areas of Ukraine bordering the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic (TMR), the russian federation and the Republic of Belarus. This study focuses on the role of state regulation of information security in these areas, and possible ways to improve the situation by improving the receiving of terrestrial broadcasting. The aim of the study. The purpose of this article is to find and substantiate proposals for improving the state regulation of television and radio broadcasting in the border regions of Ukraine. Methods. The research is based on the analysis of scientific works by Ukrainian scholars on the problems of broadcasting in border areas and on a comparative analysis of regulations and laws and highlights important aspects of the impact of geopolitical factors on the media environment in these border areas. The article describes the results of field research in the border areas of Odesa region, but the study of regulatory documents and reports revealed that the situation with broadcasting in the border areas is a national problem, not a problem of a particular region. It is established that the problem of broadcasting in the border areas is not only that in some settlements there is uncertain reception or no reception of Ukrainian television and radio, but also that in these settlements there is a stable reception of the multichannel network of Russian television and radio stations. Results. In addition to the need for technical solutions to provide border areas with coverage of Ukrainian television and radio broadcasting, the author emphasizes that in order to protect the national information space, it is additionally necessary to create conditions under which domestic national content will be more attractive to viewers than Russian content, both in terms of the number of channels and the quality of content. The author substantiates the directions of improvement of the State regulation in the field of television and radio broadcasting in the border areas of Ukraine in the field of development of cellular television systems, which maximizes the benefits of cellular technologies; in terms of obtaining permits for the use of frequencies to cover the territory (rather than installation points) of cellular television systems; and in terms of creating a favorable environment for local businesses to enter the field of cellular television systems. Perspectives. Further research can be conducted in the direction of substantiation, development and improvement of legislative norms that regulate the coverage of the territory of Ukraine by television and radio broadcasting. At the same time, it is expedient to carry out research on mechanisms that make it possible to introduce alternative broadcasting technologies and alternative ways of regulating the process of issuing broadcast permits.

TONING DOWN OR ADAPTATION? A STUDY OF ENGLISH-INDONESIAN TRANSLATION ON AN ONLINE STREAMING PLATFORM

The study of translation remains an exciting field for language and linguistics experts. Its process involves many factors to consider. For example, the translation process for films' subtitles must consider the broadcasting regulations. Furthermore, the translation process will be more complicated if it involves a cultural-specific concept such as swearing. Theoretically, adaptation is used to translate a cultural-specific concept, and since swearing is one, adaptation should be applied. However, this method might not be ideal for translating swearing in films. This study was descriptive-qualitative research with a recording technique. Twenty data on English-Indonesian swearing were collected from two American films on an online streaming platform in Indonesia. The results show that eight data used a toning down strategy to acceptable words/expressions, seven were adapted, 4 data were omitted, and one used an unrelated word

The policy implications of 'thinking problematically': problematizing Big Food's role in obesity policymaking.

Practitioners need to engage with the contested nature of public health policymaking. This study, stemming from a concern that the involvement of Big Food is not widely problematized in health promotion practice, used 'What's the Problem Represented to Be?' discourse analysis to examine how Big Food, as a discursive actor, reacted to and shaped a problem representation of childhood obesity. Analysis of Big Food documents, including Coca-Cola and Burger King, developed during the regulation of broadcast advertising to children in Ireland found that Big Food constructs the problem of childhood obesity in a way which privileges its role as policy actor; it draws on and undermines public health discourses of obesity; and it negates the impact of corporate practices on obesity and on related policymaking. An in-depth analysis of Big Food's own documents provides access to the processes of knowledge production and governing undertaken by Big Food. The study offers two tools of resistance for health promotion practitioners to interrogate and challenge Big Food-problematization as a policy tool and 'corporate influence' as a critical public health discourse.

From Public Service to Public Interest and Beyond in British Broadcasting Regulation

This article will focus on the evolving rationale for broadcasting regulation and understandings of the national interest in the UK, deconstructing the ongoing reconfiguration of the terms ‘public service’ and ‘public interest’, as well as ‘public control’ and ‘public value’, within regulatory documents, to argue that there has been an increasing marginalisation and reconstruction of the notion of ‘public service’ in favour of an approach that privileges competition above all else.

Broadcast Regulation and the Irrelevant Logic of Strict Scrutiny

This Article focuses on traditional FCC regulation of the content of broadcast entertainment television. Recent litigation involving Fox Television and other broadcasters has raised a number of constitutional issues. This Article, however, makes a fundamental and largely practical point: the basic assumptions underlying traditional FCC regulatory policies have been rendered technologically obsolete. The Article simply assumes, for the sake of argument, that the basic FCC policies are in some respects constitutionally sound. In particular, the Article assumes that the federal government has a sufficient interest in regulating the broadcast entertainment material to which children and young adults are exposed, and in supporting parents’ efforts to control their child’s exposure to such material. The crucial constitutional problem, though, is that the FCC must show that its regulations sufficiently advance the cited interests. This, it turns out, the FCC can no longer do, in light of recent widespread technological developments. Realistically, children and young adults now have convenient alternative forms of access to the sorts of content the FCC continues to seek to regulate. Typically, alternative access can be gained through time-shifted viewing, or through an increasing variety of mainly Internet-based alternatives to real-time television broadcasting received on a TV set. Typical FCC regulations thus now burden broadcaster speech without adequately promoting any sufficient government interest, and are thus in at least this respect unconstitutional.

Beyond the branch plant: Capitol-EMI’s first Canadian record press and national music industries in the 1970s

ABSTRACT This paper explores the wider political economy surrounding the opening of Capitol Records’ first Canadian record pressing plant in 1976. This celebrated facility encapsulates much of the optimism for Canadian music during this period. As a site of research it reveals a great deal of the complex relationship between a multinational corporation and an evolving national record industry. Further, this paper explores the materiality of popular music and places it within the context of national industrial and cultural policy. This material history brings forth a different account of the role of government policy in the development of this industry, with a greater emphasis on Canadian trade policy than on broadcast regulation. The plant began operation a few years after Canada’s broadcasting regulator, the Canadian Radio-Television Commission, implemented Canadian Content regulations in 1971 for the programming of music created by Canadians on Canadian radio stations. ‘Beyond the branch plant’ draws from archival materials from the EMI Music Canada Archive, housed at the University of Calgary, to offer primary accounts of the development of this plant as well as the economic externalities beyond the music industry that were shaped by this new facility. The conclusions of this study call into question long standing positions regarding the place of national broadcasting content quotas and the growth of cultural industries. It highlights an industrial logic that was largely American in structure and one that indicates that the legacy of these content regulations is more complicated than it is often assumed to be.
