The Media and Politics

Question 1 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

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

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

Explanation

Media coverage can give people information about candidates and election issues, especially when they have limited access to other sources. For some groups, it may be the only accessible way to learn about the choices in an election. The media should inform voters, not direct them to a “right” candidate, so B is not the best answer.
