Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Media has given political parties the tools to reach large numbers of people and can inform them on key issues ranging from policies to elections. In theory, media should be seen as an enabler for democracy, having better-educated voters would lead to a more legitimate government.
inform the public on what is going on: inform democratic choices through the clarification of complex issues, particularly in an age when information is the driving force of economic advancement and international events impact on people's daily lives as never before;
provoke public debates leading to greater public participation in important decisions;
uncover abuses, pressure for their rectification;
alert and mobilize public opinion to humanitarian causes/injustices;
allow political pluralism to express itself by advertising different views/ ideological approaches to certain issues;
keep politicians attuned to public opinion while offering politicians a medium to explain policies/decisions to public opinion and build the necessary support.
