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.

Sensationalism in media is just for entertainment and has no harmful effects.
