Media plays important roles in a democratic society and could not be separated from the democracy itself.

Ideally, the media is a tool to educate the voters, giving them facts, news and balanced opinions about how the government run and managed. It is vital to have well-informed voters in a democratic society to ensure the accountable and responsible government. Well informed society should be able to make rational choices, making sure that the government works as the people wants.

Media also act as the watchdog for the government in a democratic society by facilitating the people to articulate their views, demands and aspiration. The media usually is a powerful way to make sure the decision makers working in line with the voters’ interests, keeping the politicians and public officials in check.

The media should be independent and should not be intervened or influenced by the government. Otherwise, media will be an effective tool to misinformed or disinformed the society, making them as a tool of propaganda instead of educating the voters.

To help you to learn how the media plays important role in the democratic society, you should watch a HBO Original Series, The Newsroom.
