Örnek Task 2 Paragrafı (Medya ve Demokrasi)
A free and independent press is widely considered to be the fourth pillar of democracy, serving as a vital check on government power. Investigative journalism has repeatedly exposed corruption and human rights abuses that would otherwise have remained hidden from public scrutiny. However, the rise of online media has introduced new challenges: the proliferation of misinformation, the creation of filter bubbles through algorithmic curation, and the collapse of revenue models that once supported quality journalism. Without robust press freedom protections and sustainable funding mechanisms, the media's capacity to hold governments to account risks being severely undermined.
