Answer 2

by observing and reporting on government corruption, the media can inform the public of wrongdoing and influence officials to behave appropriately

Step-by-step explanation:

Watchdogs are an individual or group that monitors the activities of another entity (such as an individual, corporation, non-profit group, or governmental organization) on behalf of the public to ensure that entity does not behave illegally or unethically: Consumer watchdog, consumer protection organizations or campaigners. Media does it by reporting corruption or unethical behavior to the public.
