What are some responsibilities of the media? How has increased social media impacted citizens' ability to gain information.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What are some responsibilities of the media?

The main responsibilities of the media are to objectively inform people about current issues on politics, economics, education, culture, sports, show business, and other current topics that could have a social impact.

I would like to highlight the word "objectively," which means to never bias information to one side or the other, to one ideology or private interests in particular.

How has increased social media impacted citizens' ability to gain information?

It has impacted citizens in that they have more channels, webpages, and social media sites to choose from and watch or read the news. However, it's important to say something. Not everything we watch and read on social media is true. There are a lot of unofficial or amateur channels that have nothing to do with the truth. They only create misinformation and that is a big risk when citizens are uninformed.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
