The government and industry bodies that regulate media content and conduct, as distinct from the broadcasters and organizations they oversee. Belongs here: the Federal Communications Commission and comparable named regulators. Currently a single live entry; this is a genuinely small live count rather than a closed category, since more national and industry media regulators are expected to be minted here as the atlas widens (ruling 792). Does not belong here: internal, non-governmental compliance functions such as standards and practices, which is a concept rather than an organization.
