In a democratic society, the media have the responsibility of promoting democratic principles such as transparency, accountability and freedom of speech

Explanation:

  • The media's job is to empower the people of the country by keeping them updated. In any emergency situation globally, media have also played a significant part.
  • Many governments have given media a free hand to comment on the present situation, with regard to social distancing & precautionary measures to break the chain and lack of governance for the nation. The press coverage since COVID-19 is to a "certain degree" represent a "democratic principle".
  • A good thing appears to be that the authorities have identified the flaws in the program's wide-ranging management of an outbreak, leading the state to take the action needed for the countries. However,  misinterpretation  in the number of deaths and those recovered was found to deter  the spread of disease or other cause
  • However, there have been issues of media not providing a transparent picture of the situation, either on their own or due to suppression of facts by the govt. Without the media reporting all the truth about Covid 19 and other things that are crucial to people consistently, the media subvert democracy by misguiding the people and not by providing reliable information to make good decisions concerning their lives..
  • Yet several governments around the world are taking measures to avoid the spread of fake reports about the disease Corona, or COVID-19. Such reforms are known as a precursor to the enforcement of restrictive legislation against press freedom, but with good intentions.
