Abstract

This paper analyses the foundational annual report of the UK’s advertising regulator, the Advertising Standards Authority, in order to explore the rhetoric and arguments used to promote and defend its role in protecting consumers from offensive, harmful, and misleading advertising. Through rhetorical analysis, we identify a range of tensions in how the ASA portrays its role, power, relationships, and independence. The study contributes to current academic and policy debates about the effectiveness of self-regulatory systems.
