Functions of the Media

Journalist group says 2 Germans in Iran not spies
http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-11-16/world/24835924_1_germans-journalist-group-iranian-officials
this article is an example of watchdog media because the author of the article aquired the information through means of investigative journalism

5 seats still to be claimed
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/45468.html
because of the fact that article is only reporting tallies for a race instead of any issues it is a scorekeeper article

Chilean miners to begin emerging tonight
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/12/AR2010101203510.html
this article serves as a gatekeeper because if it weren't for this news, most people wouldn't have known about the mining accident in the first place
