From the Paper:

"Scholars as well as common people continue to debate whether the media operates to sustain democratic values. Regardless of its role, people hold the normative view that it should play a complementary role in the functioning of the democratic system. Whether the normative view---through public or more scholarly debates--prevails or not, the persisting debate about it points out that media and democracy are intertwined. This paper examines the nature of interrelationship between the media and democracy in the three North American countries namely, Canada, Mexico, and United States. It aims to shed light on the normative notion of the relationship through a rather objective investigation and analysis."
