Media as an enabler for democracy
At AP Globale, we believe that media is a medium of public education and of social change. Through our media we try our best to positively contribute to our society by creating and curating purposeful and educational content for Print, TV and Digital.
We believe that media acts as a strong agency to formulate and organized public opinion, hence, publishers have an influential role in strengthening democracy.
Democracy and media have a strong association. Strong democracies always have resilient and free media. Sakal Media acts as a ‘watchdog’, promoting government transparency, accountability, and public scrutiny of decision-makers in power, and by highlighting policy failures, maladministration, and corruption, thus acting as a mirror.
