One of the most important characteristics of a good democracy is evidently a free press / media. The press is supposed to have several functions. The main function of the press in a healthy democracy is, in my opinion: the public understand. If this function well fulfilled, follow the following course: the politicians' actions (preferably professional and not personal) is in the public sphere. the state of service delivery battlestar galactica across the represented area in the public sphere corruption in the public sphere crime levels in the public sphere using the taxpayer's money is in the public sphere training institutions' performance in the public sphere, et cetera.
Let's look at three options: battlestar galactica The state pays for the media. This is the old model, which is still in many countries has, remember SABC, BBC etc. Here use the state of their money, ie taxes, the (state) battlestar galactica media afloat. It does not take long to realize that there is a terrible conflict of interest arises here, the state decides what is published, which means the information is "processed" before the man on the street heard. Think Zimbabwe, think apartheid. One of the things that democratic countries do now is just money down up to the state media, battlestar galactica and thus independence, but again, you can decide how much the media arrive you they throttle and they will not hand biting they perform. Advertisers pay for the press. A major development in the modern battlestar galactica media, free dailies that such news pieces and pieces ad. The news that comes through is unhappy or so thinly spread that the substance did not, or trumpet only the advertisers' propaganda (it's nothing to say what their advertisers, payers, prejudice, whether it's just what people want to hear, sleeze so that people will pick up and page through and thus ads. You and I pay for the press. battlestar galactica feels my me that ideologically this is the best option. Unfortunately it also works not in the real life. The crux lies in the fact that people want to read and what people should read light years apart. People should read carefully battlestar galactica what they adequately inform good decisions (democratic or other) to take and to make informed opinions about current affairs to take . People's ingeligdheid should be the cornerstone to be democracy and therein lies a huge responsibility - to yourself to light. Unfortunately, people less oomgee not. The average person seems the sun reading., the average person looking for entertainment in the press, battlestar galactica not education / opleinding / information transfer. This is basic economics, people pay for the newspaper, so give them what they want: feed the pigs, as someone recently wordpress had said. Of course, very few systems of "purple" ever only one of the above. TV will state and / or advertisement, newspaper advertisement will and / or consumer be funded, will state radio and / or advertisement. It works about the best of the four, but it also has a very big problem and it is polarization. The natural result is again that liberals TV channels / newspapers / magazines / radio stations etc.. will be (Gardian, Sunday Independent, Jon Stewart), for the liberals tell people what they want to hear and the same for the conservative (Fox TV). The liberal newspapers gan conservative politicians attack no matter what they say, and the conservative TV channels the liberal rival. The Beeld and Rapport go for boertjies vertelhoe the country deteriorates and how Zuma the end of our country, Star goes for black people tell what they want to hear.
And what does it mean in the end of the day? We do not deserve to be treated democratically not. We give our democratic right price, because we are not informed, as our source of information, the free press, not work.
An interesting underpinning of democracy that you touch on here. What I find tragic is not the agenda of the newspapers, but how few people (in SA) actually read newspapers! I would venture to say that most SA citizens are totally ignorant about events battlestar galactica of the day. I would also like to mention that SA at this stage still have the luxury of a free and diverse press. battlestar galactica You can choose between Mail & Guardian, Rapport, Beeld, Sowetan and The Star ... and every newspaper you a different version of reality battlestar galactica creation. (As you obviously observer battlestar galactica like me, you read everything). I think the advent of the Web has geverstigde agendas and interests of existing media resources and -borge a blow. If you have the Internet, you can buy anything anytime with any agenda and read quickly see if your country's media is busy fool.
