QUIZ 5 || 1/1/2018

Explain the quote, “Language is a source of misunderstanding”.
We use language as a means of communication and understanding the thoughts of one another, however this communication may also lead to disagreements and misunderstanding against one another. Language is a double edged sword that if we do not use it with care may harm us or other people.

Does the user’s own background/experience affect the interpretation of the message?
Yes, an individual is unique and has his/her own thoughts and views depending on his/her own background because from infancy to adulthood we are influenced by our surroundings, experiences, culture and etc. what we may think is offensive in our place or country is normal in a different race, country or culture.

Is it possible that a different individual derives a different meaning from the message? Explain
Yes, since we've established that a person has his/her own unique personality as an individual and is influenced by what he/she grew up with. Therefore, a person can derive a different meaning from the message.

QUESTIONS
ANSWERS
Predict how this event will be covered by television, radio, print, and Internet?
·         Radio: Audio dependent presentation that is descriptive and elaborate.
·         Television: a more creative and semi-complex method that utilizes images and videos to catch attention
·         Print: Short and precise method that directly states different information
·         Internet: Abundant in details and can be quick and open to many comments and feedbacks
How do the presentations of facts vary from medium to medium?
The presentation of facts may vary from medium to medium in the aspect of the amount of information that can be stated in that specific medium. Lack of information may cause the reader to assume pieces of information that may be shared to other people,
How do the codes and conventions vary from medium to medium?
Codes and conventions differ in the aspect of how the mediums are limited to how they pass along information. Some mediums can only share through audio, some only visuals, and others both.
How much of these differences will be based on the unique characteristics of the medium?
It will rely on the unique characteristics of the medium because a smart producer will utilize those unique characteristics in order to fully use the potential of the medium

If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how the each media will broadcast the given scenario?
     No, I will use a hybrid method in which I stay true to the piece of information and not romanticize it. Delivering this media will be done in a short, direct and concise way but still has a certain ring or bait to it that will make the viewer interested.
What will you do to not make your report boring? Elaborate your answer
    Creativity is key, the manner in how I approach the subject will affect my viewers and I must maintain caution when sensitive topics are discussed but must also express my own opinion on the matter in order to interest the viewers in thinking and stating their own opinions with care.
Would you exaggerate some elements in your report to make it interesting? Why?
Never, one must always stay true to the content that is the essence of someone giving information without bias. A true and great media reporter would be able to use word play that would not falsify information but give creativity or appeal to the topic. For example a title that questions the user or viewer himself such that he will be drawn to the topic and give his own effort to know it with my help or information as a reporter.

2nd Day || Wednesday In our 2nd meeting, our teacher further clarified for us the previous terms we discussed and elaborated on the definitions provided. We moved on with our next topic which was a set of questions that will help us build a "Framework" on what journalism is and how we usually outline our goal or article.  In this format, I realized that it would be of great help when we utilize outlines such as this when we are journalists or aiming to become one. This greatly helps our way of seeing how our topic forms and organizes our ideas to become more concrete and transparent to what we truly want to do. Finally, after we have finished our activity, we proceeded with discussing Edmodo's policy and other forms of policies such as copyright and creative commons. Overall, what we have discussed today is very useful especially in the fact that we use media everyday or most of the time. Image source: https://blog.hubspot.com/hubfs/00-Blog_Thinksto...
