Do you think that gatekeeping is increasing or decreasing in society (in other words, are alternative messages more or less likely to be heard in today's media)? Why or why not?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think that gatekeeping is increasing in society. Governments, politicians, political parties, and public figures have always been interested in exerting some kind of control in the news, by biasing stories to their favor in order to better project the best public image possible.

However, this desire to control or bias news is nothing like it used to be in the past, where the government exerted heavy pressure on news slots and reporters, trying to hinder the disclosure of real news.

Today, with the advent of the internet and social media, it is too difficult to hide the news. Indeed, it is a time of no more secrets. But this is not because news control is diminishing. No. It is because people have found new ways to stay connected and sharing different versions of reality.

In today's world, if you want to know the truth, you do not only watch traditional news channels or read traditional newspapers. You go to social media sites or video sites, where you can find different alternatives.
