Explanation:

Question 13

The framing of a protest as a "riot" (negative) vs. "demonstration" (neutral/positive) influences how audiences perceive the protesters' legitimacy. State budgets, congressional law - making, and court penalties are more institutional and less directly impacted by media framing of a single protest.

Citizen journalism via smartphone videos brings diverse viewpoints (as citizens from different backgrounds contribute). But since there's no formal editorial process, verifying the accuracy of these videos is harder. Option A is wrong as there's no consistent screening. Option B is wrong as it doesn't guarantee fairness. Option C is wrong as it actually increases public involvement.

If people don't trust media due to partisan bias, they'll have less confidence in the information about elections/politics, which can lower their willingness to vote. Option A is wrong as reliance on political ads won't improve turnout due to mistrust. Option C is wrong as partisan bias reduces shared viewpoints. Option D is wrong as declining trust doesn't remove opinion - based reporting or increase accuracy.

Answer:

A. How audiences judge the legitimacy of the protesters
