The Social Responsibility Theory emerged as a critique of pure Libertarianism. It accepts that the press should be free, but argues that freedom without responsibility is dangerous. Its core features:
- Media has obligations to society — it must be truthful, accurate, objective, and balanced
- The press should be free but self-regulated through codes of conduct and ethics (not government censorship)
- Media should be pluralistic — representing diversity of viewpoints and acting as a forum for ideas
- Media ownership is a public trust — journalists are accountable to their audience
This theory recognises media's unique social function: unlike a bakery or factory, media shapes public opinion, educates citizens, and acts as the “fourth pillar of democracy.” Therefore, it must accept a higher standard of responsibility than an ordinary business enterprise.
The volume of a cube is 64.
Compare:
Column A: The area of the base of the cube
Column B: $32$
For a cube with volume $V = s^3 = 64$, the side length is $s = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4$.
The base of a cube is a square, so its area $= s^2 = 4^2 = 16$.
Column A = 16, Column B = 32.
Since $16 < 32$, Column B is greater.
