Answer 1

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The media is a very important factor to understand how ethical is a decision. Sometimes, company owners or CEOs end up making decisions based only on high profits or increase of competitive advantage, but it ends up having serious consequences on people's life. To fight that, the media has a crucial importance to show the public what is that company doing, and the public opinion be formed by that, even influencing the profits or the overall view of that company for most consumers.
