Freedom of Expression and Its Restriction in Audio Visual Media

Audio visual communication is a type of collective
expression. Due to inform the masses, give direction to opinions, and
establish public opinion, audio visual communication must be
subjected to special restrictions. This has been stipulated in both the
Constitution and the European Human Rights Agreement. This paper
aims to review freedom of expression and its restriction in audio
visual media. For this purpose, the authorization of the Radio and
Television Supreme Council to impose sanctions as an independent
administrative authority empowered to regulate the field of audio
visual communication has been reviewed with regard to freedom of
expression and its limits.
