  7. Media and Democracy It’s a love / haterelationship • It ensures that citizens make responsible, informed choices rather than acting out of ignorance or misinformation. • The information media presents to us checks what elected representatives are doing for us…or not • A democracy requires freedom of speech – the media can help to provide this

The adults in this room are now ‘The Government’
