The Media's Civic Role

The media, meaning news organizations and journalists across television, print, and online platforms, plays a civic role by informing the public about government actions, elections, and public issues, and by investigating and reporting on the actions of powerful people and institutions, sometimes called acting as a watchdog. Not all media serves this civic role equally well: some sources prioritize careful, well-sourced reporting, while others prioritize speed, entertainment, or a particular point of view, so evaluating a specific source's own reliability matters more than trusting media in general.
