The Evolution of Traditional to New Media (Lec)

·      Given the available media that we now have in the world, what are its roles and functions in a democratic society?
                                   
                        As we live in a democratic society where citizens rule and decide its leaders, I believe media plays a bigger role than before. Media becomes the channel through which the government and people communicate and address problems that need address. Through media the people can also moderate the government and keep it in check with its actions. Information spreads faster and therefore media becomes the avenue and potential for the government to improve its services for the people.

·      In what way does media affect your life (personal, professional, academic, social, others)?
           

                        Being born in the age of advanced media, I guess Media has made my life easier in many ways. I am able to communicate to a wider scope of people and I am able to express myself in Social Media. Media’s major impact in my life I would say is the provision of information from all parts of the world which makes me aware of the world which I live in and involve myself in the issues we as a nation and world should put into light.

Does the user’s/audience’s own background or experience affect the interpretation of messages? How?             Our schema greatly affects what we think or how we interpret a message. A young person and old person may have different understanding of a thing because of the gap in time. Is it possible that a different individual derives a different meaning from the message? Explain              Yes. People’s culture and background may affect how he or she perceives something. For example, in the US you can they “Fighting!” and they will think there is a fight between two people while if you say “Paiting!(Fighting!)” in Kor

MIND MAP INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT (INTERVIEW W/ MR. ALBURO) Student: For a formal interview, please state your Full Name and what subject you teach. Teacher: Okay, I’m John Glendon C. Alburo. I’m teaching Selected Topics in Math at Manila Science High School, I handle Grade 10. Student: Thank you po. First question is as a teacher what type of information are you responsible for or the information that you receive that you pass on to the school community or sa students mo sir? Mr. Alburo: Sa students ko? Ako kasi hindi kasi ako mahilig sa social media. Pag nag FB ako nagbabasa lang ako.
