    MEDIA

    The following are the topics content of this module:


    1. The Rise of social media
    2. The Development of Information age and its Impact to Society

    Overview

    The Information Age (also known as the Computer Age, Digital Age, or New
    Media Age) is a historical period that began in the mid-20th century, characterized by
    a rapid shift from the traditional industry established by the Industrial Revolution to an
    economy primarily based upon information technology. The features of
    the Information Age include everything concerning the electronic storage and
    transmission of information.
    Around the world, new information and communication technologies (ICTs) are
    creating or supporting innovative systems and networks that are increasingly affecting
    societies and their governments, industries, communities, and individuals. It is vital that
    these technologies, and the opportunities that they create, be used to help close the
    gap between North and South, between the "included" and the "excluded," so that
    everyone has equitable access to sustainable development and growth.

    The Information Age mark an era of rapid adoption of new technologies. The
    beginning of the 21st century has been marked by the rise of a global economy and
    Third World consumerism, deepening global concern over terrorism and an increase
    in private enterprise. It began on January 1, 2001, and ends on December 31, 2100.
    It is the first century of the 3rd millennium.

    Topic Presentation

    Gutenberg to Social Media


    The Gutenberg Revolution, which began in 1450s, upset many aspects of
    government and certainly the Church, so Social Media is now changing our concepts
    of real and fake news. It has a large impact to printing press.
    As it became easier to produce books and pamphlets, information started to
    spread. Previously, only religious leaders and royalty had access to books, and few
    people were literate. But as reading materials became more prevalent, people began
    to learn to read. And as they read, they started to question the literature provided to
    them. They wanted to learn and discover for themselves, instead of just believing what
    they were told books contained.
    Therefore, the printing Renaissance opened the realm of learning and reading
    to the local populations as schools were built and books about education were written
    and print published. The printing press had dramatic effects on European civilization
    and its more immediate effect was to spread information quickly and accurately and
    this gradually helped to create a much wider literate reading public.
    Today many people are also now being affected and they are beginning to look
    for secure accurate and believable news portals but, the traditional trusted publishing
    out-lets have less public belief as many people believe governments are manipulating
    them.

    Is Newspapers are going Digital or Declining?


    A decade ago, the US press declined after the financial crisis and a number of
    them began the digital transformation believing that this would financially cover print’s
    regression and collapse. However only a few national businesses covered their losses
    and have built a commercial digital network.
    The local press, are in sharp circulation decline, and the online advertising
    businesses has moved to Google and Facebook and others. The result has caused
    newspaper closures and large-scale downsizings and redundancies. Almost 1,800
    newspapers closed between 2004 and 2018, leaving 200 US counties with no
    newspaper and roughly half the counties in the country with only one, according to a
    University of North Carolina study.
    In the Philippines, the national and local newspapers are also declining. People
    tend to support the local television networks. Watch news on TV or read in the social
    media sites and follow you tube channels and bloggers. With the increasing availability
    of social media, new sources of information have emerged and now algorithms are
    being used to have a lasting influence on our consumption of information.
    Many people now prefer to believe people from their own social environment,
    instead of turning to “the media”. The collateral damage caused by the digitization is
    increasing amounts of disinformation and currently this is not going to stop.
    Currently, everything from newspapers come into blogs. Freedom of the press,
    like freedom of speech, is subject to some restrictions, such as defamation law and
    copyright law.
