The phrase "mechanically fastened another button of his shirt and did not reply" shows that "absently" means not paying attention.

<h3>The meaning of "absently"</h3>

It is common for authors to use context clues when they introduce a word readers may not know. Context clues are pieces of information that help readers figure out the meaning of that word.

In the passage we are analyzing here, it is possible to infer the meaning of "absently" when we read the phrase that  says "mechanically fastened another button." When we do something mechanically, we do it automatically, without giving it much thought.

In other words, we do it without paying attention. That is precisely what "absently" mean. Thus, the phrase helps us figure out the meaning of "absently."

Discuss five recommendations to the media on how these challenges can be addressed
mina [271]
I can recommend to the media the following to address the common challenges they will encounter:

1.) As much as possible, try to research and present all necessary facts in an article or in a news report.
2.) Show both sides of the story and get both statements from opposite camps, especially when it involves politics. 
3.) Remain neutral. If you are biased, it will show in your report.
