Explain the importance of 'Freedom of speech' exercised by the media, in a democracy.
Answers
Freedom of expression is a human right and forms Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Freedom of expression covers freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and gives individuals and communities the right to articulate their opinions without fear of retaliation, censorship or punishment. (The right to freedom of expression wouldn’t be worth much if the authorities also had the right to imprison anyone who disagrees with them.) An effective media also depends on the legal basis that freedom of expression gives the right to function and report freely, sometimes critically, without threat or fear of punishment.
Freedom of expression is not an absolute right: it does not protect hate speech or incitement to violence. That said, many other rights which are intrinsic to our daily lives build on and intersect with this protection for free thought and individual expression. Freedom of expression covers everything from satire to political campaigns to conversations in your own home. It’s a fundamental human right which allows for citizens to speak freely and without interference.

Answer:
Media should have the right to speech, as it tells about the truth of the Ruling government and awares the poeple of the country about the policies.
Media should be set free to to ask queries indirectly asked by the poeple to the politicians so to help the government to repair its certain polices and to maintain good relation between the government and the poeple.
