Obscene Publications Act
"Publishing anything that could negatively influence your audience". The target audience for Top Corner magazine is men between the ages of 16 and 40 who are likely to be from the C2DE categories of the NRS social scale. My audience could be negatively impacted by my magazine as they could be attracted to the negative stigma of football and could be enticed into the hooliganism scene. I will adhere to this law by focusing my articles purely on the sport itself instead of the environment which surrounds it.
Libel Law
"Libel law punishes people who publish false statements that could damage a person reputation"
I will adhere to this law by gaining all my information from reliable sources (e.g. websites ending in .gov, .org, .ac etc.) and from multiple sources where possible (reference the source0. As some of the content in my magazine will be fictional I will need to include a disclaimer stating this.

Copyright, Designs & Patents Act
This act allows producers to protect their creations by making people need permission to use them. I will adhere to this by making all models sign release and consent forms, allowing me to use images of them whenever and wherever I want. I will also need to get permission to use football clubs logos as my models will all be wearing football shirts. I will not require location permission as my photo shoot will take place on a public playing field.
Laws Of Contempt
It is a criminal offence to publish content that poses a risk to justice in proceedings. It prevents magazines from publishing anything that is too sensationalist about a criminal case. This could affect my magazine as a few football fans are arrested at certain matches for committing acts of violence or being drunk and disorderly. I will adhere to this by not mentioning any specific cases of fans being arrested and not glamorising the hooligan lifestyle.

Ethical Issues
An ethical issue brings systems of morality and principles into conflict. Unlike most conflicts that can be disputed with facts and objective truths, ethical issues are more subjective and open to opinions and interpretation. In terms of my magazine, I would need to consider the appearance of the models I use (ethnicity, body type etc.) In terms of the actual articles in my magazine, I should be cautious of how I portray the sport as Competition is not unethical but the allure of winning can drive some competitors to unethical behaviour ranging from being unsporting or violent during a game to match-fixing and the use of illegal substances.
