The role of free media in elections is not only giving information but what else?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Enabling critical examination of issues and claims

Free media has an important democratic role beyond simply reporting dates, candidates, or events. It can compare promises, question statements, examine evidence, report different viewpoints, and draw attention to issues that voters should consider. This helps citizens make a reasoned choice rather than accepting every campaign claim without examination.

Option C is correct because critical examination supports informed public debate and accountability. Free media should not stop voting, hide counting, or work only to ensure victory for the ruling party. Its independence matters precisely because it can scrutinise those in power as well as challengers. The option therefore describes a key democratic function of media.
