Journal #9 - MediaLit1718


Politician Scenario:

Questions:

1. If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how the each media will broadcast the given scenario?
A: Yes since it is the traditional way of reporting and the only way people will have a wide access to it. Though, I will make sure the information comes from the source itself and not from another form of media.

2. What will you do to not make your report boring? Elaborate your answer. 
A: To be able to gain the attention of the audience, I will make sure to make up a eye-catching title, inserting videos and making a presentation (such as a powerpoint) to appeal to the audience's interest.

3. Would you exaggerate some elements in your report to make it interesting? Why?
A: Yes, especially the title. All because it will keep up with the attention span of the reader. They would want to read an article that is not very much plain and bare. They need an article with a few gist of words or jokes within the information to be entertained at the same time. Though, I will make sure that the exaggeration will not draw the audience to a misunderstanding and keep the information as accurate as possible.

Mind Map: 


Essay

 Everyone needs information. As we do, we tend to look it up via internet or any media outlets. But does it ever occur to you how people tend to gather those information? 

I, myself, depend on the information given by the media. I usually find time to check out updates on regards to my favorite fashion designers, fashion shows and such. Now, I have been wondering, where do they get their information? Their information must come from their own witness. From a variety of of information available in the worldwide web, I tend to focus on the source that is most known for its credibility.

“Knowledge is power”

                It simply means our knowledge is our stepping stone to mold ourselves. With it, we become more observant or sensitive towards whatever happens around one’s self. As we do become or hold those traits, we tend to created our ideal self and compare our actual self with it to develop.

How does information become knowledge?

              If we further understand or criticize the data presented.

Source: Matela, 2017, Edmodo.com

State the importance of giving credit to the source of one's work. Elaborate your answer.

                We must give credit to the source of one’s work because this serves as a penny for their thoughts, without even paying actual dollars or paper money for it. It practices good traits such as honesty and just treatment

Information Literate Individual (essay)

   A famous person name, Lailah Akita, once said, "Do not believe all that you hear and see. Always check the original source of information."

   Information indeed is a very delicate subject as to the reason that it can easily be molded which is why we must be very careful about it. Being an information-literate individual, we must know that we hold the skills that enables us to interpret and make just or equal judgements and end up being creators or producers of information iwth the right morals and principles. Such individual employs technology with information in a suitable and accurate way for communication.

Journal Entry #4- MediaLit1718


Internet of Things as Theory of Media and Information

1. Search for the meaning of the INTERNET OF THINGS and answer the questions:
                a.) In your own words, define Internet of Things.
                                A: Internet of Things is basically to be considered as any machines or possibly anything that has an ON/OFF switch and can be connected to the Internet. With that being said, it is the line that connects one to another. IoT is the epitome answer to the question, “Will machines and artificial intelligence take over the universe?”
                `b.) What brought this theory about?
                                A: The phrase, Internet of Things, was made by Kevin Ashton and the ideology of the said theory is familiarized on the economic growth and to make our lives easier as time passes by. This helps humanity fix anything in the world as of now. Security systems are better, Utilization ever greater and even learning new things are easier by now.
                c.)  Do you like the concept of IoT? Why or why not?
                                A: I can’t fully say I agree to this because for me, I believe it may have these aftershocks  that can be connected to the Chaos Theory. IoT can disrupt the world of the nonlinear things. Which means this may lead to a butterfly effect and possibly cause a whirlwind of disaster as time passes. Life may be easier at this current phase but we cannot guarantee that the easy life will last forever.
                d.) In what situations do you encounter IoT in the Philippines?
                                A: I believe we encounter IoT even in our everyday lives. IoT is everywhere. Even as I travel to school, I use my phone and connect it with my data to be able to get an access to the net and play music via Spotify. Another would be whenever I have sleepovers in my friends’ houses, our laptops and phones are immediately connected to the wifi thus access to the net is received.
                e.) How do you think IoT will evolve and affect Filipino society in the next 3 to 5 years?
                                A:  Like I said, IoT for me is connected to the Chaos Theory thus may affect us Filipinos big time. It will take our will to do things manually or even bother to learn new things to do. We’ll depend on the internet and machines to do our routines for us (which is a sad thing to witness)
                f.) What do you think is the relationship / cause and effect of IoT in media and information literacy?

                                A: IoT may lead to a faster spread of news or such information worldwide. What concerns me is the accuracy of the to-be-send information. In which leads us students to digest the morals and principles of being an information-literate individual. It’s practically a win-win relationship, a mutualism, as the IoT gives the media and information literacy the opportunity to set their principles in for a good usage.

Journal Entry # 3 - MediaLit1718


Knowing your media at different ages:




Assignment: 

In my opinion, with the upcoming evolution of media in our era, this surely plays a crucial role in shaping an effective and healthy democracy. This is indeed the cornerstone of a  democracy. Media makes us very aware of the various social, political and economical activities occurring not only in our country but worldwide as well. Let us take this media as a mirror in which shows the citizens or strives to show the baked truth and harsh realities of behind the lying realities.

We all know that media brings great influence in our lives. This involves communication not only found within a community but within the whole world. With this, it has affected me in the most surreal way. The media helped me build my ideal self. I often find myself reading passages, blogs, watching videos and such. With these kinds of activities, it made me construct my ideal self, someone I aspire to be. The literature I’ve been exposed to influenced my likes, dislikes and even personality which is why I can say that the effect is indeed surreal.
