According to law, in which two media platforms must political parties be given equal representation?

Okay, let's break down why radio and television are the media platforms where political parties get equal representation under UK law. Think about the history of broadcasting in the UK. Radio and then television were, for a long time, the primary sources of news and political information for most people. Because of their reach and influence, there was a recognition early on that these platforms needed to be impartial, especially during elections. The idea is to ensure fair access and prevent any single party from dominating the airwaves. This is regulated by Ofcom, the UK's communications regulator. Now, newspapers and the internet operate under different rules. Newspapers have always had a tradition of political allegiance and are free to express their opinions. The internet, while influential, is much more diverse and unregulated in this regard. So, while you might see political content in newspapers or online, there's no legal requirement for equal representation like there is on radio and television.
