The mass media can impact public agenda by selectively reporting news and covering only one side of a story
Particularly for conservative politicians and conservative media, it's very much the other way around.
The ability of the media to set up political agendas is sometimes referred to as agenda-setting.
Most theorists say the mass media have the following functions: to inform, to educate, to entertain, and to transmit the culture from one generation to another. There are also sub-groups within those categories. For example, some critics say the media set the agenda-- they tell us what issues and pieces of information are important, and what we ought to be thinking about. Other critics say the mass media promote the views of the dominant ideology (the people in power), whether through messages in favor of capitalism, consumerism, the majority religion, or whatever.
The media's function in a democracy is to educate the general population on the actions of the government. It is a policing force, since the voting public has the power (at least theoretically) to overthrow the government if they are abusing their power. Media can also be used by the state to control people's perceptions, a form of propaganda. It depends on whether there is "free press" in your situation or not.
