In 2-3 sentences explain how a media watchdog can benefit a democracy.

Media plays a great role in highlighting the any matter in shorter period of time. Media is an organization which keeps the government active and public involved. From  the  position  of  being  a  medium  of  information , it  has  become  a powerful  force  in  our  daily  life .The  selection  and  the  extent  of  media  coverage  by  a  television  channel  or a  newspaper  has  set  objectives  behind  it . It  is  important  to  make  a critical  appraisal  of  media  before accepting  or  rejecting the  news  or  the  views.

Let  us  hope  that  the  media  brings  important  issues  to  the  forefront ,  that  are  otherwise  ignored. It  must  constantly  draw  the  attention  of  the  public  and  the  government  towards  the  issues  like  scarcity  of  clean  drinking  water,  lack  of  health  facilities,  crime  and  violence , illiteracy,  female  infanticide,  etc. That's  why,  it  is  truly  said  that "A  democracy  without  a  free  media  is  like  a  car  without  wheels .''
