Write your question here (Keep it simple and clear to get the best answer) explain the importance of the media in democratic cou
ntry such as south Africa. mention the bill and explain what freedoms it provides in relations to the media and distinguish between electronic and print media
I don't know which bill this is, but I am guessing you mean Article 16, which describes freedom of press.
In South Africa, as any democratic country, democracy (the power is in people's hands) is dependent on the people having right information - and this is the role of the media.
For this the media needs the power of freedom of speech, and this is what Article 16 provides, both for electronic and for print media.
