Which concept refers to media practices where content is filtered through editors before publication and is mass-oriented?

• A. Gatekeeping and Editorial Control
• B. Traditional
• C. Surveillance and Information
• D. Conflict Healer

Answer: (B)

Gatekeeping and editorial control describes how editors filter content before publication, shaping what reaches the public. This captures the centralized decision-making and curation that produce material aimed at a broad, mass audience. Traditional is a broader label for conventional media but doesn’t specify the editing and filtering process. The other terms don’t describe this production mechanism of content selection and framing.
