Censorship in Television

Censorship in Television, radio, and now even computers are growing as quickly as anyone can imagine. As these media sources expand there is a continued need for censorship.

In this day and age television, being the least censored of the masses, should have certain simple and specific regulations set upon it. Television programs should be censored based on content, the time slot it will be showing, and the audience that will be viewing it.

The first part of television that should be edited out or changed is content. For the most part television has been lenient on its censorship of things such as, violent crimes, cussing, and the use of illegal substances.

Along with violent crimes there is often use of illegal substances and weapons. This gives children the idea that it is ok to use these unlawful items.

The use of strong language may also be offensive to many people. The use of these words should be cut out almost entirely, or they should be regulated according to the time slot that they are running in.

Time slot that a television program is showing in should also be taken into consideration.

Depending on the time of day determines the age of the audience that is watching.
