What to Focus On

  • Mass media is known as the Fourth Estate in a democracy.
  • It acts as a watchdog and connects the government with the people.
  • The three pillars of democracy are Legislature, Executive, and Judiciary.

  • The media educates and creates awareness during crises.
  • It provides a platform for public debates and discussions.
  • It acts as an agent of social change by highlighting social issues.

  • Media ethics include accuracy, accountability, fairness, and privacy.
  • Journalists must verify facts and avoid spreading misinformation.
  • They should not show bias or take sides in reporting.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The media is part of the government and works directly under it.
