It is important to adhere to legal and ethical issues because the company could be fined thousands of valuable money if not millions, also can be sentenced to jail time
The following legal issues apply to magazines and newspapers.
OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS ACT: Any materials that are seen as harmful or offensive, this includes words and images to the reader, this is relevant to the magazine so that our content does not negatively strike to any reader. For example don't advertise alcohol or cigarettes as my magazine is for 14+ and these products are age restricted for 18+ and would be highly inappropriate to advertise to young readers. I would also not advertise any violent games as they will be aimed for 18+ and my target audience shouldn't be seeing violence or any offensive content inside my magazine.
LIBEL LAW: Publishing content about a person that can negatively effect their reputation, it is illegal to publish defamatory (harmful) content or publish untrue information.
Link to my magazine: In my magazine I will have to release everything that the artist says in the interview without adding or removing any content to make them sound in the wrong or as if they were talking bad about anyone, if I were to do so I could be in trouble under the libel law. I will also have to not add any information that the artist/bands haven't said, E.G. adding information about them slagging other bands/artist off as they haven't said any of this.
COPYRIGHT: Copyright is an act of protecting a creators work, including books, films, graphics and many more. Copyright makes sure the creator is taking full credit for their work and is protected from other people taking it and making money or credit from it. For my magazine I shouldn't take credit for any artists music or artwork when releasing, or anything taken without permission. I will have to get permission for showing the band/artist artwork, the logos/any graphics created by any creators. I will get permission via email as it will be a copy I can have on me at anytime or to send to anyone in the post/pre-production stages.
