ENABLERS
for that matter even on climate change negotiations will only increase.
The other enablers are the other parties such as nature/social activists, experts and parties with vested (good and bad) interests who like the politicians use media as a platform to reach to the people to give out the necessary information.
 
INHIBITORS
Inhibitor for growing influence of media can be the media itself. One aspect which the media is yet to realize that people seeking information from them can see through the agenda which the media is trying to achieve. As long as the media remains unbiased and does the job of relaying accurate and truthful information, its influence will only grow. However, if media starts acting like any other party who has vested interests (for e.g. to have high viewership or to make money from parties with vested interests) and relays biased and manipulated information, it can only harm itself and prevent its influence from growing.
