the media and government

The media and government work together to provide the masses with information on matters that are revelant to current events. Perhaps if their is a running for election, then politicians would pay for time on media outlets to try and gain supports. Whether politicans use their money for ads that slander their opponent, or to try and inform the view on where they stand on the issues, either way media is dire for a political candidate.

In order for citizens to stay informed as to what is currently happening in our government, we need news reporters who will create breaking stories to try and undercover the truth as to what is currently going on with our government. Some people feel as though they cannot trust the United States government, and it is the job of the media to provide stories which one can speculate whether or not we can truly trust our government. The media keeps our government in check and creates certain barriers that the government cannot cross without being persecuted for; nevertheless, one needs to have faith in the officials he/she elects to represent them in the government.

In conclusion, the media works with the government to inform the tax payers how their money is being spent, along with every other matter that pertains to their lives. The media could be used to either help or hinder political figures, and the media must also be used to keep the government in check. Though there will always be corruption, the media helps to regulate and contain some of it.
