Explanation:

The media should work in the service of the public and citizens. The main task of the media is to report objectively, impartially and truthfully. The media should inform citizens about all political actors on the scene, their actions and results so that citizens can decide in the elections which option is best for them. The media should not censor the news. Citizens should become fully aware of the information.

They should not be subjected to political or any other pressure. Only in these circumstances can the media not bias and objectively inform the public.
