What is the Role of the Media?

We live in a time when information reaches us faster than ever — but not always more clearly. Every story is told from a point of view, and every platform shapes what we see and think about. Can the media ever truly be neutral, or is bias built into the way news is made?
In this discussion, we’ll consider three questions:

1. Are there such things as objective reports, or is all reporting a matter of perspective?
2. Should media companies be treated as private businesses, or as public utilities that serve the common good?
3. Does following the news make us better informed, or just more reactive and divided?

Come share your thoughts in an open and reflective conversation. No background in philosophy needed — just curiosity and a willingness to question how we get our information.
