What is weigh more than one view?Show answer
A role-of-media question usually has more than one side. The media's role in informing the public, for example, can be discussed as a public good (helping citizens make decisions) and as a problem (bias, agenda-setting, misinformation). A strong answer acknowledges the tension, weighs the views with evidence, and reaches a considered position rather than asserting a single, one-sided claim.
