Types of Media: WEEK
Print, Broadcast and New Media 3
I
Good day, learners! Today, you will learn about the different types of media
such as print, broadcast and new media. Specifically, you will be able to compare
and contrast how one particular issue or news is presented through the different
types of media (print, broadcast and new media); and study various media
formats, such as books, newspaper, television, YouTube, magazines, social
network, radio, mimeography, newsletter, cellphone, journals and film/movie.
Learning Task 1: In your notebook, classify the given terms based on their
corresponding columns using the table below.
books newspaper television YouTube magazines

social network radio mimeography newsletter
cellphone journals film/movie.
Print Broadcast New Media
D
Types of Media
The different types of media are print, broadcast and new media.
Print
Printing was discovered by the Chinese but Europeans and other countries
contributed to the present technology in printing. Printing covers books,
newspaper, magazines, comics, journals, textiles, plates, wallpaper, packaging
and billboards.
Broadcast
More than a century after films were developed, audience are now amazed
with the action and creative movements provided by films which are highlighted
in Science fiction and action movies.
Television, on the other hand, has also gone a long way providing the latest
news, both local and international in real time while the news is happening.
Radio is more popular in rural areas because there are battery-operated
radios that people can be carried to the field to listen to news, music and radio
dramas.
New Media (Internet)
Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use
the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCOP/IP) to serve billions of users
worldwide. It is a network of networks consists of millions of private, public,
academic, business and government networks of local to global scope that are
linked by a broad array of electronic and optical networking technologies.
In this age, print media is still important for contracts and other business
transactions. Radio is still an important part of media, especially during power
shortage, as there are available batteries to operate the radio. Television is still a
popular form of media for entertainment especially with the availability of cable
TV.
All these, print, radio, television and films can now be accessible through
the internet. The new media provides convenience and speed for people to quickly
do business transactions, enjoy entertainment, conduct research and
communicate using the internet.
Media Convergence
 the co-existence of traditional and new media
 the co-existence of print media, broadcast media (radio and television), the
internet, mobile phones, as well as others, allowing media content to flow
across various platforms
 the ability to transform different kinds of media into digital code, accessible by
a range of devices (ex. from the personal computer to the mobile phone)
creating a digital communication environment

WEEK
4 Media and Information Sources
I
Good day, learners! Today, you will learn about different media and
information sources. You are expected to: demonstrate an ability to examine and
compare information from various sources in order to evaluate its reliability,
accuracy, authority, timeliness, and bias; determine the accuracy, reliability and
value of information by questioning the source of data, limitations of the
information gathering tools or strategies, and the rationale of the conclusions;
define indigenous media; and contrast indigenous media to the more common
sources of information such as library, internet, etc. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Learning Task 1: Revisit the news that you submitted in the previous lesson. Cite
the source of the news, your background about it and describe the type of
information that you got from the source. Answer the question that follows. Do
this in your notebook.
Newspaper : _____________________________________________________
Magazine : _____________________________________________________
Social media : _____________________________________________________
Television : _____________________________________________________
The Internet : _____________________________________________________
What similarities and differences have you noticed between the information
in each source?
D
 Reliability of Information. Information is said to be reliable if it can be
verified and evaluated. It also refers to the trustworthiness of the source in
evaluating the reliability of information.
 Accuracy of Information. Accuracy refers to the closeness of the report to the
actual data. Measurement of accuracy varies, depending on the type of
information being evaluated. Forecasts are said to be accurate if the report is
similar to the actual data. Financial information is considered accurate if the
values are correct, properly classified, and presented
 Value of Information. Information is said to be of value if it aids the user in
making or improving decisions.
 Authority of the Source. Much of the information we gather daily do not come
from a primary source but are passed on through secondary sources such as
writers, reporters and the like. Sources with an established expertise on the
subject matter are considered as having sound authority on the subject.
 Timeliness. Reliability, accuracy and value of information may vary based on
the time it was produced or acquired. While a piece of information may have
been found accurate, reliable and valuable during the time it was produced, it
may become irrelevant and inaccurate with the passing of time (making it less
valuable). Other information may be timeless, proven to be the same in
reliability, accuracy and value throughout history.
Libraries
a. Types of libraries - Libraries are often classified in 4 groups, namely: academic,

public, school and special. These libraries may be either digital or physical in
form.
b. Skills in accessing information from libraries - Due to the wealth of information

in a library, it is important to know the following:
• the access tool to use
• how the information being accessed may be classified
• the depth of details required (i.e. some libraries provide only an abstract of the
topic)
• more detailed information requiring membership or some conformity to set
rules of the source (e.g. databases)
c. Characteristics of libraries in terms of reliability, accuracy and value
Libraries of published books are often considered highly reliable, accurate,

and valuable. Books and documents from dominant sources are often peer
reviewed. ISSN or ISBN registration ensures that standards were followed in
producing these materials.
The Internet
a. Information found on the internet
b. Characteristics of internet information in terms of reliability, accuracy, value,

timeliness and authority of the source
c. Realities of the Internet
d. Information found on the Internet may be quite varied in form and content.
Thus, it is more difficult to determine its reliability and accuracy. Accessing

information on the internet is easy but requires more discipline to check and
validate. Factual and fictitious data are often merged together. Sources always
have to be validated.
Skills in Determining the Reliability of Information
a. Check the author. The author’s willingness to be identified is a good indication

of reliability.
b. Check the date of publication or of update. While the information may be true,
it may not be reliable if it is outdated and may have lost relevance.
c. Check for citations. Reliable authors have the discipline of citing sources of
their information.
d. Check the domain or owner of the site or page. The domains .edu and .gov are
reserved for academic institutions and the government, respectively.
Information from such sites are presented with caution and are usually
well-grounded. Site owners may have an agenda that affects the manner by
which information is presented.
e. Check the site design and the writing style. Credible sources take time to make
their information accessible and easy to comprehend.
Skills in Determining Accurate Information
a. Look for facts.
b. Cross-reference with other sources to check for consistency.
c. Determine the reason for writing and publishing the information. Check if the
author is objective or leaning heavily on a certain point of view.
d. Check for advertising. Advertisers may use related information to market their
product.
Alternative Media
a. Current popular alternative media
b. Rise of alternative media and information
c. Other alternative forms of communication and distribution have become
popular. These include social media, blogs and flash mob performances. These
alternative forms provide greater freedom and power to ordinary individuals and
are a quicker way of distributing information. The downside is that a lot of
information being passed around is biased and inaccurate.
Indigenous Media
• Indigenous means native, local, originating or produced naturally in a particular
region
• Indigenous knowledge is unique to a specific culture or society; it is not written
down.
 Indigenous communication is the transmission of information through local
channels or forms. It is a means by which culture is preserved, handed down
and adapted.
 • Indigenous media and information refers to the original information created
by a local group of people. This also refers to content about indigenous peoples
that may be distributed through dominant forms of media or through forms of
communication unique to their people group.
Importance of Indigenous Media and Information
• Popular media cannot reach some rural areas. While print, broadcast and new
media have a wide reach, there are still areas that these forms of media have not
reached.
• Indigenous media and information are highly credible because they are near the
source and are seldom circulated for profit.
• Indigenous media are channels for change, education and development because
of its direct access to local channels.
• Ignoring indigenous media and information can result in development and

education programs that are irrelevant and ineffective.
• Forms of indigenous media and their local examples:

a. folk or traditional media
b. gatherings and social organizations
c. direct observation
d. records (may be written, carved or oral)
e. oral instruction
Learning Task 2: Go back to the controversial piece of news or issue you used at
the start of the lesson and fill out the table below. Do this in your notebook.
Learning Task 3: Using a mind mapping tool, discuss the concepts of indigenous
media and information. Start by defining keywords and connect them to other
terms. If new related ideas come to mind, write them and draw lines connecting to
other sub-ideas.
Learning Task 4: Create a Venn diagram in your notebook comparing and

contrasting indigenous media to more common sources of information such as
library and internet.
E
Learning Task 5: Interview your parents or elder siblings. Ask them the questions
below. Write their statements in your notebook.
1. What are your roles in the community?

2. What are the types of information you are responsible for, or the information
that you receive and pass on to the community?
3. How is the type of information that you handle helpful to the community?
4. In what ways does passing on this information help the community?
5. How do you know that the information you pass on is true?
6. What difficulties do you face in passing on this information to others?
7. Are these pieces of information available in popular media?

A
Learning Task 6: Write True if the statement is correct and False if it says
otherwise. Do this in your notebook.
_____1. Indigenous knowledge refers to knowledge that is unique to a specific
culture or society.
_____2. Information is said to be accurate if it aids the user in making or

5 Disseminating Information
I
Are you fond of watching movies? What movie genre do you usually prefer?
What elements do you usually look for from the genre of your choice? What are
your standards in critiquing the effectiveness of a movie?
Media, in its broadest sense, exist for consumption and interpretation. Any
form of media aims to send messages regardless of the purpose. It is crucial for
media people to accurately consider how people understand and interpret
concepts so their ideas also go along with the audience’s expectations.
It is important for the audience to establish standardization in terms of

what to expect from the media. If expectations are unclear, then it is difficult for
both parties to meet halfway. This lesson focuses on how to deal with this
circumstance. For media and audience to be effectively bridged, the right
knowledge on codes and conventions must be properly understood. At the end of
this lesson, you are expected to identify codes, convention and message and how
they affect the audience, producers and other stake holders and present an issue
in varied ways to disseminate information using codes, convention and language
of media by creating your own media and information presentations.
Learning Task 1: In your notebook, accomplish the table below. Write five (5)
movies that you have watched recently and provide clear and specific descriptions
about them based on content, theme and genre.

In understanding media, there are codes and conventions that you have to
know. See this like building blocks of all media around you. Generally, media
already possess a default in itself.
Shown in the table below are three types of media codes, namely: symbolic
codes, technical codes and written codes. Conventions, on the other hand, are
expected ways in which codes are organized in a product.

somebody receive a red rose in a
film would mean that there is a romantic relationship going between the main
characters. This is exactly similar to giving someone a red rose in real life. Some
examples of symbolic codes in media are the following: setting, mise en
scene, acting and color.
Setting
Known as the time and
place of the narrative, the
setting describes where the
story or a specific scene
took place. It can be as big
as an open space or as
small as a room. It can
even be a create d
atmosphere or frame of
mind.
Source: Young, R. (2018, February 10). Media Codes and Conventions. Medium.
Mise en scene
In the world of media, mise en scene is a French term that means

‘everything within the frame’. It also refers to all the objects within a frame the way
they are arranged. To analyze this, you should look into the media’s set design,
costume, props, staging and composition.
Acting
In media, actors portray a variety of characters that contribute to character
development, creating tension or interpreting the narrative. An actor portrays his/
her assigned character through the following elements: facial expression, body
language, vocal qualities, movement and body contact.

Color
In media, color has strong cultural connotations. As a student, analyzing
the use of color in media and its various aspects, you have to look at the following:
dominant color, contrasting foils and color symbolism.

https://media.codes/media-codes-and-conventions-c03423c06aa8
Technical Codes
The second kind of codes are specific to a media form and do not live as a
separate entity. To help you analyze this, look at different camera shots and their
connotations in films and photographs. You have to remember that these may
mean nothing to you or the general audience outside of those forms. These codes
include camerawork, editing, audio and lighting.
Camerawork
How the camera is operated, positioned and moved to achieve certain
effects is also important in analyzing media. These include positioning, movement,
framing, exposure and choice of lens.

Editing
Another important consideration in studying media is editing. It is the
process of choosing, manipulating, and arranging images and sound. Generally, it
is done for graphic edits, rhythmic edits, spatial edits and temporal edits.
Audio
Using sound expressively or naturalistically also plays a role in media. Its

Lighting
Manipulating light, either natural or artificial, to selectively highlight
specific elements of certain scenes, is also one of the important elements of media.
These elements of lighting include: quality, direction, source and color.
Written Codes
A type of code that is written usually includes formal written language used
in media. Similar to technical and symbolic codes, written codes can be used to
interpret a narrative and communicate information regarding a character. Also, it
can convey issues and themes emergent within the media product. Examples of
this code are printed and spoken languages.
Conventions
To use media codes in some sort of a norm where it is accepted by
everybody, there has to be a convention. These are closely connected to what the
audience expects from media. Examples are form, story and genre.
Form Conventions
Form conventions are the distinct ways that audiences expect codes to be
arranged in media. Examples of these expectations are the title of the film at the
beginning or the credits at the end. In printed media, it is expected that
newspapers will have a masthead or a banner story as the most important news,
then the sports news usually at the back. Mobile games usually begin with a step-
by-step with help texts on how the game works.
Story Conventions
These story conventions are common narrative structures and expectations
from media. Examples of these are narrative structures, cause and effect,
character construction and point of view (POV).
Genre Conventions
Genre conventions include the common use of tropes, characters, settings
or themes in a certain media. These are closely linked with how the audience
expects from the media product. They can be formal or thematic.

WEEK
6 Intellectual Property, Copyright and Fair Use
I
Good day learners! This lesson will focus on the legal, ethical and societal
issues in media and information. At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
cite practical situation when to apply knowledge in intellectual property,
copyright, and fair use guidelines; evaluate a case study or presentation on an
offense, investigation and decision on any of the issues in media and information
within your community; and create a campaign add to combat digital divide,
addiction, bullying and other issues. Let’s go!
D
Talking about legal, ethical and societal issues in media and
information, it is important to be aware of the following major terminologies:
•Copyright is a legal device that gives the creator of literary, artistic,
musical or other creative works the sole right to publish and sell that
work. Copyright owners have the right to control the reproduction of
their work, including the right to receive payment for that reproduction.
An author may grant or sell those rights to others, including publishers
or recording companies. Violation of a copyright is called infringement.
•Plagiarism is an act or instance of using or closely imitating the
language and thoughts of another author without authorization; the
representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting
the original author.
•Cyber Bullying takes place online by using electronic technology such
as cell phones, computers and tablets over communication tools
including social media sites, text messages, chat and websites.
Examples of cyber bullying include text messages or emails composed
to insult or demean; rumors or false statements spread by email or
posted on social networking sites; and humiliating photos, videos,
websites or fake profiles deliberately shared across social media.
•Computer addiction is the excessive use of computers to the extent
that it interferes with daily life. This excessive use may, for example,
interfere with work or sleep, resulting in problems with social
interaction or affect mood, relationships and thought processes.
•Digital divide is an economic inequality between groups in terms of
access to, use of, or knowledge of ICT. The divide within countries
(such as the digital divide in the United States) can refer to inequalities
between individuals, households, businesses, and geographic areas at
different socioeconomic (and other demographic) levels. The global
digital divide designates countries as units of analysis and examines

26
the divide between developing and developed countries on an
international scale.
Learning Task 1: Choose one from the suggested issues below in using
unguarded internet. Do this in your notebook.
 Copyright and Plagiarism

 Cyber Bullying
 Computer Addiction
 Digital Divide
E
Learning Task 2: Create a script or story line for a 30-second to 1
minute campaign add to combat the following suggested issues: digital divide,
addiction, bullying or a topic of your choice. Do this in your notebook.
A
Learning Task 3: In your notebook, create an infographic that aims to raise
awareness on how and when to apply knowledge in the following topics:
intellectual property, copyright and fair use guidelines. Create one
infographic for every topic.
WEEK Opportunities, Challenges and Power of Media
6 and Information
I
Good day, learners! This lesson will focus on the opportunities, challenges
and power of media and information. At the end of this lesson, you are expected to
cite an example of an issue showing the power of media and information to affect
change. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Have you experienced online shopping? What are the items that you have
bought? Did you succeed in using online shopping systems? Look at the mind
map of online shopping below.
Learning Task 1: Answer the following questions in your notebook:

1. What forms of payment are accepted in online shopping?
2. If customers have concerns or inquiries about the product, what support
mechanisms are provided?
3. How will the customers receive the purchased product?
4. How did the mind map help you to understand the concept of online shopping?
Mind Map
“A mind map is a graphical technique for visualizing connections between
several ideas or pieces of information. Each idea or fact is written down and then
linked by lines or curves to its major or minor (or following or previous) idea or
fact, thus creating a web of relationships.”

D
Economics of Media: Ratings and Revenues
The economics of media can be explained in the simple equation Ratings=

Revenues. As a commercial industry, the media earns profit through
advertisement. Advertisers pay for air-time or ad-space in media platforms to
reach or promote their goods or services to media’s audience. Advertisers are more
likely to invest if there is a high volume of consumers patronizing the media
programs or content or if their target market is among those consumers.
Ratings
It is a colloquial term for audience

measurement that influence timing,
placements and markets for media content
and advertising (Balnaves, O’Regan, &
Goldsmith, 2011). Ratings determine the
number of people who watches, listens to or
reads a particular content.
Revenues
The business dictionary defines revenue

as income generated from the sale of
goods or services, or any other use of
capital or assets, associated with the main
operations of an organization before any
costs or expenses are deducted.
The Opportunity
The Philippine media is a great asset in the country’s economy. In fact, The
Philippine Star reported that in the year 2010 alone, the creative or copyright-
based industries contributed P661.23 billion to the Philippine economy.
Media and Information for Education
Media and information have made a radical impact

in education. Learning has never been easier, and
at the same time, more complicated than it is today
in the age of media and information.
The Opportunity
Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines education as

knowledge, skills and understanding that you get
from attending a school, college or university.
Today, education has taken whole new meaning
with media and information.
Online education is now a fast becoming trend in

society. Schools and universities are adopting this practice as part of their offered
services. Everyone with access to the internet needs not physically attend a class
28
to get an education. This setup is popular among those who wish to further their
education but do not have the time or energy to deal with regular school. With
media and information, one can earn a degree from the comfort of their homes.
Education traditionally requires a student to prove that learning took place. To do

so, one must be able to pass exam that will test their knowledge on a certain
subject and produce outputs that will confirm if they can apply that knowledge.
Media information makes this process a little less rigorous through content
contribution. By allowing people to share their knowledge online for others to see,
the network of experts can check and balance each other’s understanding of
subjects; therefore, refining learning through interaction.
The convenience, abundance and interconnection, aspects of media and

information for education are opportunities worth taking advantage of.
The Challenge
In education, the opportunities brought about by media and information is also to

be blamed for its many challenges. Not only does this promote laziness, constant
access also puts a lot of pressure on servers requiring constant upgrades and
regular maintenance around cyberspace.
The overwhelming amount of content to but found online requires the tedious
process of sorting through unnecessary or unrelated content to one’s research. As
challenging as it may be, it is necessary. Allowing anyone with access to the
internet to contribute to the network of information raises credibility and
authenticity issues.
Media and Information for Social Science
The society is heavily influenced by media and

information. It is no surprise then that media
and information have been linked to social
changes. Oxford bibliographies referred to social
change as a significant alteration of social
structure.
The Opportunity
Among the first to realize the possible positive

applications of the media and society’s
co-dependent relationships were Daniel Lerner and Wilbur Schramm. In their
perspective works, The Passing of Traditional Society (1958) and Mass Media and
National Development (1964) served as founding texts of development
communication according to University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). Development
communication uses communication to aid in the development of society. One
practical application of this is community-based media programs. Through
information dissemination, promotion of development advocacies, and providing a
medium for social interaction among communities, these types of programs pave
the way for a positive social change.
The Challenge
Media and information have the power to sway society’s beliefs and perception.
People have the tendency to receive data from media and accept it as fact right
away without conducting due diligence.
Effect of Media in Politics
Politics regulates the media industry. They

enforce the rules and regulations governing
the media industry as prescribed in a
country’s current political system. It is for
this reason that the nature of media varies
from country to country.
The Opportunity
The interrelationship between media and

politics provides a fair foundation in nth function of media as a source of
information. Provisions in the law like the Freedom of Information Bill which
mandates the release of public documents to those who require it benefits the
media in their access to information and the government in its war against
corruption (The Official Gazette).
The Challenge
As a developing country, the government concentrates on solving problems like

poverty, unemployment, lack of proper healthcare and access to education.
The shortage of government funding, not to mention the lack of projects and
programs, that help cultivate creativity – which is the core of media – prevent the
media industry in reaching its potential for success. Even the weak enforcement of
certain laws to protecting the media exposes them to threats that could have
damaging repercussions on the industry.
E
Learning Task 2: Choose five questions among the list below. Write a mind map
out of it. Then evaluate your work using the rubric provided. Do this in your
notebook.
1. What opportunities are open for computer literate individuals in the area of
business?
2. How can a teacher be a better one if he/she is computer literate?
3. As a high school graduate, what are the job opportunities open for you?
4. How will you acquaint yourself with possible job opportunities?
5. As a member of your barangay, in what ways are you involved in different

activities in your community?
6. How much do you know about political leaders in your community?
7. How do media and information help in the dissemination of information on the

different programs in your community?
8. As a social individual, how do media and information help you in

communication with different people in your community and in school?
9. Give examples of threat that you might get in the internet.
10. What risks do you put yourself in when you post all kinds of information about
yourself in the net?
11. When do you abuse the use of the media and information technology?
12. How do you misuse media and information technology?
Rubric in Evaluating Your Mind Map Output
A
ICT can provide both opportunities and challenges to humanity. The
Internet can offer modes for empowerment and convenience, but it can also
promote the digital divide and fraud.
Learning Task 3: Write an essay about: “The Power of Media and Information to
Affect Change, and the Responsibility of the Users.”
The essay must have an introduction, body and conclusion. The number of words
must be 450-500. The essay will be graded according to the rubric as seen on the
