Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The three roles of the media are to inform, persuade, and entertain.

The negative effects of restricting these roles in a democratic society, according to gender-based violence are that the proper messages could be blocked, or if they can be transmitted, the messages could be distorted and misunderstood.

The importance of mass media in fair reporting of gender-based violence in communities is vital because mass media can reach far places where conventional citizens can reach, mass media has the resources to do extensive reporting of the news, has the technology to broadcast their news, and can hire experts on different subjects who can cover the news and express their opinions to invite the audience to reflect on the delicate topic of gender-based violence.

Mass media can be used to help solve this issue because modern technology has no frontiers.
