Descripción
Sumario:In spite of a new general law regarding Audiovisual Communication, the regulatory framework of the audiovisual sector in Spain can still be defined as huge, disperse and obsolete. The first part of this paper provides an overview of the major challenges of the Spanish audiovisual sector as a result of the convergence of platforms, services and operators, paying especial attention to the Audiovisual Sector in Catalonia. In the second part, we will present an example of self-regulation through the previous research work done for the future Code of Best Professional Practices of the Catalan Audiovisual Union. Some issues regarding protection of minors and youth, privacy, general public right of access to digital content on line,intellectual property, pluralism, harm and offence content are examined in the light of self-regulation instruments.
