Response in English: The media plays an integral role in any democratic system by providing vital information that is necessary for citizens to make informed decisions. The media is responsible for being an independent watchdog, holding those in positions of power accountable for their actions and decisions. Democracy depends on an informed electorate, and the media acts as a conduit to ensure the public has the requisite knowledge to participate in the democratic process.In addition to providing information, the media serves as a platform for public discourse, allowing citizens to voice their opinions and engage in debates. A free and open media promotes transparency and ensures that different views and perspectives are heard, leading to a more pluralistic and tolerant society.The media is essential in creating trust in the democratic process by ensuring the public is aware of the actions of their elected representatives, and that the government is operating in an open and transparent manner. It is therefore important that the media operates independently and responsibly, free from political or external influences.In summary, the media plays an essential role in democracy by providing information, promoting transparency, and encouraging public discourse. A free and responsible media is vital for the proper functioning of a democratic society. .
