"The objective of this document is to outline a framework for a communication policy (content regulation) that can tackle portrayal and representation issues. The main obstacle in the way to do sensible content regulation concerning stereotyped representations is that these portrayals perform their ... effect in a longitudinal and cumulative way – features that make these phenomena as social facts easy to analyze for social scientists, but make it rather difficult to be addressed by media regulators, because content restrictions –on human dignity, privacy, and professional standards– seek to address content issues through the portrayed individual’s right to appropriate media treatment. This discrepancy results in serious moral and justice-related concerns especially in the case of the portrayal of economically disadvantaged groups by television factual entertainment programs, such as current affair entertainment and human interest magazines, confessional chat shows, police magazines, crime buster shows, docusoaps, ambulance and hospital reality programs, etc; programs which have occupied solid positions in commercial stations’ prime time program."
