A consensual process of surveillance

Posted by Purple on June 13, 2003

Hi,

I am not quite sure about the bracketed sentence. Could anyone do me a favor?

The news media, according to the liberal pluralists, must carry out the crucial work of contributing to the system of checks and balances popularly held to be representative of domocratic structures and processes. More specifically, by fostering a public engagement with the issue of the day, (they are regarded as helping to underwrite a consensual process of surveillance whereby the activities of the state and corporate sectors are made more reponsive to the dictates of public opinion. )

Thank you .
