Role of media in today's society?

Question

What is a role of media in today's society

Answer 1

The role of media today and what their role should be are drastically different. Most media outlets today are controlled by a handful of organizations. Their role appears to be promoting the agenda of the organization, rather than delivering hard facts for the viewer, listener, and reader to make their own decision. This is why you see a lot more citizen journalism going on, people want the facts, not a promotion of a company's views.
