Media and Information Literacy: Day 15

       For our fifteenth day in MediaLit1718, we had activities regarding our previous lecture, Media and Information Languages. Sir Opiana asked us a series of questions where we had to give our own opinions regarding it:

What is language?

       Language is a medium that is used for communicating. It is mostly used by people in order to understand each other's words and in exchanging opinions and ideas.

How is media language is being configured?

       Media Language is being configured through the place where it is used. For example, the media language that is being centralized in the Philippines is Filipino, since most of the country's residents speak that language.

Who are the consumers and producers of media?

       The consumers are the audience while the producers are the ones who would like to pass on information for various reasons like money, fame or gaining trust.

After these set of questions, Mr. Opiana gave us this situation and asked us to fill the table found below:

"A local government official was charged of graft and corruption and was suspended from his office. The government official announced that the charges were all fabricated and that he will not step down from his office. A large group of supporters are present to protest. They barricaded the building where the official has once taken office. A struggle seems to start breaking out between the protesters and the police."

Questions
Answers
Predict how this event will be covered by television, radio, print and Internet?
The report of this event would most likely state the information regarding the cause of the struggle, the background of the official etc.
How does the presentation of facts vary from medium to medium?
Television
-would most likely broadcast where the event is
-there would be reporters giving out important information

Radio
-there are no visuals, but only reporting/broadcasting of information through narration

Print
-there would be only pictures of the event
-the necessary information is printed on paper

Internet
-a person could take a video and post it online
-you can interact with online people who are giving out their opinions or experiences
How do the codes and conventions vary from medium to medium?
Television
-the codes can be seen and heard by the viewer/listener since the television would most likely broadcast the event.

Radio
-the codes and conventions are heard and delivered through the person speaking in the radio.

Print
-the codes and conventions can be seen/read by the viewer since a journalist is able to put up pictures on printed paper.

Internet
-the codes and conventions can be seen and heard. These are not only limited to what is posted online, but can also be received from people who are giving out their thoughts about the event online.
How will these differences be based on the unique characteristics of the medium?
These differences help us identify which medium is being used to deliver information about a certain event or occasion.

If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how each media will broadcast the given scenario?

       Yes. If I were to report the scenario from earlier, I would most likely use the television to broadcast the event. It would help people see what is currently happening in the building where the official has once taken office. At the same time, I would be giving out information regarding the reason why it is happening and who are the people involved in that situation.

What will you do to not make your report boring? Elaborate your answer.

       In order to catch the attention of the viewers, I would change the tone of my voice while still remaining professional and formal about my report. In this way, my report wouldn't sound boring and the audience would get their needed information about the event.

Would you exaggerate some elements in your report to make it interesting? Why?

       I would exaggerate some parts of my report but leave the serious ones as it is. Serious information can be deadly if one does not handle it properly. It can lead people to share wrong information.
