Television in advanced democracy

TV programs should broadcast more the information beneficial to the public. It strengthens the role of TV. In more democratized society, I think TV should more emphasize on and convey what the public needs to know.

In these days, I think I do not turn on TV to watch some specific shows. I know there are some commentators and shows which steadily pointing out what is wrong with the current politics or other societal situations, but most of news can be caught up on Twitter and by other news media online. Moreover articles on the Internet have more severe eyes.

It is often said that people are leaving TV. That is partly because people less think the necessity of turning on. The alternatives and more developed media has been advancing. More importantly, TV should tell beneficial information to citizens since it can reach out wide range of population in a society.
