question 3 of 10
which sentence best describes gatekeeping in the media?

a. viewers learn to spot bias and avoid letting it influence them.

b. reporters or journalists allow their views to affect the content they create.

c. editors purposely omit information about some topics.

d. the internet makes room for information about all current events.

Explanation:

Gatekeeping in media refers to the process where media professionals (like editors) control what information is presented to the public, often by omitting certain topics. Option A is about viewers spotting bias, not gatekeeping. Option B is about reporters' personal views affecting content (bias), not gatekeeping. Option D is incorrect as the internet doesn't include all current events info (and it's not gatekeeping). Option C matches the definition of gatekeeping as editors purposefully omitting info on some topics.

Answer:

C. Editors purposely omit information about some topics.
