Which of these best describes what the media generally facilitate for the public? a the ability to actively participate in policy making b the ability to communicate with government officials and lawmakers c the ability to try to influence policy decisions d the ability to hear discussions on laws and the lawmaking process

It can't be A because to actively participate in policy making, you must be engaged in politics yourself.

It can't be B because for there to be communication, there must be talking and hearing, back and forth. The media is one sided.

Although the media does influence policy decisions, it doesn't facilitate that to the public, so it can't be C.

D. The ability to hear discussions on laws and the lawmaking process

This is the correct answer. Because the media is one sided (Information comes, but doesn't go back), but that's all you need if what you want is to be informed about what is going on and you can decide to follow/watch a channel that talks about the specific subject that you are interested in. If that in the case, Lawmaking process can be one of them.

In a democratic and complex society, citizens choose their representatives through the vote, but the conditions of policing of politicians are difficult to achieve. People have their day-to-day tasks and need to study and work.

It is in this context that the media gets involved. The main role of the media is to cover the actions and inform the citizens. Through the various media, citizens can analyze and listen to the discussions and projects that are being analyzed by politicians, even without leaving their homes.

It should be noted that the media also develops an enormous power of vigilance, curbing unfair behavior through its coverage and investigations.
