The role of the media in a democracy state like south africa

Generally, the role of media in a democracy is to inform the people: both of the opinions and plans of the politicians and of the situation in the country so that they can decide whether the proposals of the politicians are  corresponding to their wishes.

Media can also present opinions of the people, and give an opportunity to share those opinions.

Currently, as of february 2016, an american traveling in france would be by the exchange rate. the weakness of the euro and the strength of the us dollar means that items in france cost less to an american than they otherwise would. of course, if this trend reverses and the us dollar weakens and the euro strengthens, such as was happening in early 2008, an american traveling in france would have an adverse experience because items would cost relatively more.
