Why is the importance of independent media in elections not limited to giving news only?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it gives voters information for comparison, public debate and accountability

Correct answer: A. Independent media can report policies, examine claims, compare the records of parties and candidates, and bring public problems to the attention of citizens. It can also question those in power and provide space for debate, helping voters form judgments rather than simply receiving isolated facts. This improves accountability because leaders know that their actions may be examined publicly. B is wrong because changing votes secretly would be illegal and is not the role of media. C and D are also wrong because independent media should support public awareness and participation, not close election institutions or stop voting. Media reports may contain errors, so citizens should compare reliable sources and think critically. Memory cue: good election media informs, compares, questions and explains.
