Week 2 Assignment: The Role of Media in Influencing Government and the Public

Instructions
You are attending an international journalist event and have been chosen to give a presentation of the roles of the media in influencing government and its citizens.

Please create a PowerPoint presentation to assist you in your presentation.

As you complete your presentation, be sure to:
