Please help ASAP Which choice describes the media being a government “watchdog”?

by agreeing to regulations imposed by government agencies, the media can be seen as a loyal and trustworthy fixture of American society

by publishing false information that damages a government official’s reputation, the media can forfeit its status as impartial observer of our democracy

by observing and reporting on government corruption, the media can inform the public of wrongdoing and influence officials to behave appropriately

by publishing leaked information, the media can share key facts and ideas about the government without having to identify their anonymous sources
