Media Classification Systems: An International Comparative Study

媒体分类的核心问题是“谁应该消费这些内容？”这个项目旨在研究这个问题在20世纪和21世纪得到回答的方式。该项目包括对印度、日本、美利坚合众国、联合王国、巴西和中国的个案研究，并特别强调对澳大利亚的研究，目的是根据国际交流政策办法、关于公共利益和保护未成年人的想法以及传播媒介物品的流通，编写一份媒介分类制度出现的比较历史。本研究旨在探讨媒体分类问题在媒体融合时代的持续意义。

The central question for media classification is 'by whom should this be consumed?' This project aims to examine the ways in which this question has been answered across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Encompassing case studies of India, Japan, the United States of America, United Kingdom, Brazil and China, and with a particular emphasis on Australia, the project is intended to produce a comparative history of the emergence of media classification systems based on the international exchange of policy approaches, ideas about public interest and the protection of minors and the circulation of media objects. This research aims to address the continuing significance of the media classification question in an era of media convergence.
