ABSTRACT | ||
There exists a triangular interrelationship among democracy, mass media, and good governance. When any one of these components is negatively affected, imbalance emerges within the system, ultimately impacting the overall stability and development of a country. The nature and quality of democracy, media, and governance significantly shape a country's democratic character. This study aims to analyze the interrelationship between democracy, mass media, and good governance, and to examine various global indicators related to these fields. The findings suggest that democracy plays a crucial role in establishing a non-discriminatory society and ensuring good governance. People’s participation in the democratic process and the accountability of elected representatives facilitate the advancement of good governance within democratic systems. However, the core principles of democracy are increasingly challenged. Declining positions of many states in global democracy indices, fluctuations in democratic performance, and the persistent negative impact of military intervention in governance demonstrate significant setbacks. The study further identifies growing hostility toward mass media, increased government pressure on media institutions to serve political agendas, and rising threats to democratic institutions. Despite the growth in the number of democratic institutions worldwide, concerns remain regarding media freedom and political interference. The findings emphasize that a pluralistic media environment enhances transparency and balance of power. Furthermore, effective decentralization of authority is essential in multicultural societies, along with political consensus to ensure integration and democratic stability. | ||
