Media and politics go hand in hand. Politics in every country dictate what information is released to the public. There is always more to every story, every campaign, every event, but we only know as much as the newspapers, magazines, television, etc. tell us. Some countries, like China for example, limit and screen news that is released to the public. They try to maintain an image and not taint this image to its people with negative media coverage.
Mass media is also the reason countries have knowledge about global politics. Without the different mediums of communication we have today, people around the world wouldn’t be able to access news and information on a broader scale.
Politics are also dependent on mass media, just as media is dependent on politics. The public forms opinions about political information and campaigns based on what they hear and see through different media. The media could either help or hurt a politicians campaign, but all depends what the public is allowed to see.
