| Abstract: | Citizens in democracies enjoy freedom of speech and expression. This unit discusses the significant role of the mass and social media in contemporary societies. It argues that the media give citizens and politicians a space where they can share their ideas and perhaps protest against injustices and wrong policies. The media also help in keeping the people's representatives and leaders accountable. The new social media have penetrated deeper into our social lives and, thereby, they have become extremely important in democracies. |
