Correct answer: (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Both statements stand, for new communication technologies have spread social awareness across cultural boundaries and have loosened the old institutionalised centres of responsibility.

The first statement is sound because global networks let people see and compare distant lives and issues.

Satellite, cable and online media carry ideas past national and cultural borders with ease.

The second statement is sound because decentralised, many to many flows weaken gatekeeping authorities.

Traditional institutions that once monopolised information now share space with countless dispersed sources.

Together they capture both the reach and the disruptive pull of new media.
