The relationship between media outlets and political entities has the potential to jeopardise journalists' objectivity and impartiality. For both economic and political reasons, media outlets often maintain close relationships with political figures. This may result in biased or partial coverage of political events. Politicians or political parties can influence the topics prioritised for coverage or exert pressure on journalists to present issues from a specific perspective. These types of relationships can contribute to "agenda-setting" practices that affect the public's awareness of important political news stories. Unbiased journalism affects public opinion, which consequently impacts democracy's functioning. Addressing the issue demands self-regulation and a system to evaluate media outlets based on their ability to present unbiased and fair news.
