Why is free press linked with democratic rights?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it gives citizens information, criticism and alternative viewpoints

Correct answer: A. A free press can investigate public matters, report different viewpoints and question those who exercise power. This helps citizens obtain information, form opinions and judge government performance. Criticism and alternative viewpoints are important because democracy requires informed participation and accountability, not blind approval. B is wrong because a press limited to official publicity is not genuinely free. C is wrong because reliable information can bring citizens into public discussion and decision-making. D is wrong because press freedom supports the practical use of expression and information rights. A free press must still respect lawful standards, but regulation should not become unjust censorship. Memory cue: free information helps citizens make free choices.
