Question: 

    How will you describe media in the Philippines using the normative theories of the press?

Answer: 

      Base on my own opinion and on what I've researched, here in the Philippines nowadays we have these Social Responsibility Theory as we can see it allows free press without any cencorship but at the same time the content of the press should be discussed in public panel. However the media have their free will but not totally because there is always a limitation in giving facts and in connection to the other theories it lies between Libertarian and Authotitarian Theory so thats why it have free will but have also limitation.
