Question

1. desi teaches her journalism students that they are uniquely positioned in society because they remain separate from institutions of power. what phrase did desi most likely use to describe this unique position of journalists?

government protestors
underdogs of journalism
religious advocates
watchdogs for society

Explanation:

Journalists are often seen as watchdogs for society. Their role is to monitor and report on institutions of power (such as government, corporations etc.). By remaining separate from these power - holding institutions, they can objectively hold them accountable. Government protestors are more about actively opposing government actions in a more direct, often confrontational way. Underdogs of journalism is a rather non - standard and not a widely recognized term for this role. Religious advocates focus on religious matters.

Answer:

watchdogs for society
