Gatekeepers are individuals or roles that decide which messages are allowed to pass through a communication channel and how they are framed. Their decisions shape what information others receive and in what form.
Option A:
Option A says gatekeepers ensure all messages reach everyone without filtering, which is the opposite of gatekeeping. Gatekeeping involves selection, not full openness.
Option B:
Option B is correct because gatekeepers control which messages are selected, shaped and allowed to pass through channels to wider audiences.
Option C:
Option C restricts gatekeepers to technical support roles, which may manage equipment but not the selection of messages.
Option D:
Option D suggests that gatekeepers never modify or interpret messages, while in reality they often edit, frame or prioritize information.
