Justify this statement
Answer this question correctly plz​

Answer 1

“Despite the absence of censorship by the government, most newspapers nowadays still fail to provide a balanced story. . .Persons who research the media have said that this happens because business houses control the media. At times, it is in the interest of these businesses to focus on only one side of the story,”

A chapter titled “Understanding Media” refers to the 1975-77 Emergency when the government imposed censorship and says that while the government still continues to censor films, “it does not really censor” the media’s coverage of news. “Media’s continual need for money and its links to advertising mean that it becomes difficult for media to be reporting against people who give them advertisements. Media is, thus, no longer considered independent because of its close links to business,”
