we have to:
- provide news media with information - give journalists our opinion - answer their questions

they have to
- ask questions and then interpret them - find our weaknesses- investigate, judge, sometimes execute us
why they do this?
- because politicians are for most journalists main reason for their work. Without them they could be useless
