Explain the modes of mass media regulation.

Mass media — the many-reaching communication: the channels carrying the messages to the mass audience. The classical triad (the print (the newspapers-and-magazines), the broadcast (the radio-and-television), the cinema); the fourth (the internet-and-cyberspace (the social-media era (the everyone-a-publisher world))); the functions (the information (the news); the education; the entertainment; the watchdog (the fourth-estate's self-image (the public's watchdog over the powerful))). The media law's field (the definitional core): the regulation-and-rights of the mass communicators — the freedom's frame (the constitutional guarantees (U2)) + the regulation's frame (the licensing-and-content rules (U3)) + the accountability (the crimes-and- remedies (U7-U8)).
