The function and lmportance of a free press in a democratic society

Democracy is a type of government ruled by the majority in which all the people have the right to interfere to whatever is the states’ decisions on its affairs. Freedom from press is the freedom of the people to express themselves in media and articles. Its function is to voice out everyone’s opinion onto matters. This is very important because though the people have voted its leaders, the leaders may not see the trivial problems in which ordinary citizens could. However this right must be taken with extreme caution against abuse.
