Answer:

The media are essential to democracy, and a democratic election is impossible without media. A free and fair election is not only about the freedom to vote and the knowledge of how to cast a vote, but also about a participatory process where voters engage in public debate and have adequate information about parties, policies, candidates and the election process itself in order to make informed choices. Furthermore, media acts as a crucial watchdog to democratic elections, safeguarding the transparency of the process.

Mass media has evolved due to the amount of technology updates and more sites, along with better data plans. and the reason media needs to be correct, because if it's not correct certain people could lose votes. And if it's not accurate lies and rumors could be spread and make the better person lose votes.
