And to think also the contributions of news journalism and the media system to the ideal of deliberative democracy. Contribution to configure what is here called the republican face of journalism. That is, the theoretical and policy dimensions of journalism in terms of commitment to the democratic system.

Can the media meet these two elements which characterize the contemporary civic virtue?
