Can anyone with this question?
which of the following has the greatest impact in determining and shaping public policy? the media or individual citizens? be sure to explain your reasoning and support your answer with at least one example.

The media and individual citizens both have a great impact in determining and shaping public policy. Without media, citizens do not have knowledge of what policies are introduced in the political agenda. Unless citizens have time to leave their current job to get deeply involved in political issues without media support. Media and individual citizens work together on determining and shaping public policy. The media is, "hit or miss," depending on where the media stands on certain public policy issues. The media mentions policy issues that concerns their point of view. If certain policy issues are not in the media's interests the media will not make an effort to mention certain public policy issues. The government controls vast majority of media outlets, and filters issues that the government doesn't want individual citizens to learn about.
