Question

1. which of the following is a consequence of media consolidation?

reduced diversity of viewpoints
more competition in local journalism
greater transparency
increased investigative reporting

question 12

1. investigative journalism is primarily concerned with:

exposing corruption and wrongdoing
covering entertainment news
publishing stock market updates
reporting sports scores

Explanation:

• Question 11: Media consolidation means fewer owners control media outlets. Fewer owners can lead to less diverse viewpoints as they may have similar agendas or biases. Local journalism competition would likely decrease (not increase) as fewer entities operate. Transparency isn't a direct consequence, and investigative reporting might be cut due to cost - cutting in consolidated media.
• Question 12: Investigative journalism's core purpose is to dig deep and expose hidden issues like corruption. Covering entertainment news, stock market updates, or sports scores are routine reporting tasks, not the main focus of investigative work.

Answer:

1. Reduced diversity of viewpoints
2. Exposing corruption and wrongdoing
