Question 10 • Principles of American Democracy

Why is it important to have media coverage of government elections?

Answer
A
It helps people have a comprehensive understanding of all of the issues.
B
It encourages people to vote for the right candidate based on the media’s informed opinions.
C
It may be the only accessible source of information on the issues and candidates for a particular group of people.
D
It introduces the public to only the candidates who have the best chance of winning.

Explanation

Media coverage can provide information about candidates and election issues to people who may not have another convenient or accessible source. That makes A, “It may be the only accessible source of information on the issues and candidates for a particular group of people,” the best answer. Coverage does not necessarily explain every issue comprehensively or tell people which candidate is right to vote for.
