HELP! Read the scenario:

The superintendent of a school district is best friends with two members of the school board and the owner of a local construction company. The owner of the construction company gives the superintendent and board members a series of gifts. A local journalist has been investigating the relationship of all four and publishes a report revealing the illegal exchange of gifts and the awarding of contracts to the owner of the construction company. The public becomes outraged and demands that the superintendent and the members of the board to step down.

What role did media play in this scenario?

Answer:

Watchdog

Step-by-step explanation:

A watchdog is used often used for monitoring and reporting in day to day life. More importantly, often in the context of monitoring and reporting illegal activities. Gatekeeping is more about keeping people out, which the media had no power in. They similarly aren't a business nor do they have the power to set an agenda.
