ACTIVITY 1

Discussions: (not more than 50 words)

• If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how each media will
broadcast the given scenario?
If I will be a reporter, yes. I will still use the conventional one because I think that it was really
made that way in order for us to easily understand the message. I won't change a thing because
that's the method of broadcasting people recognize so well.
• What will you do to not make your report boring? Elaborate your answer
I will use different mediums in one. I think that combining video, voice and print media would
really help in making my report interesting. Another thing is that I may also use colors and
animations that can easily attract the attention of the viewers. By improving the presentation, the
quality of the news can be shared in a more compelling manner.
• Would you exaggerate some elements in your report to make it interesting? Why?
I wouldn't exaggerate the elements in my report because that would be misleading depending
on the degree of exaggeration. It would confuse the viewers leading them to unclear and wrong
information. Exaggeration is considered unethical if you are tasked to share reliable facts and
data.

• If you are to create a postcard for a place or organization of your choice, what
technical and symbolic codes would you use to convey important information and create
the desired impression? Why?
If i am to create postcard for a place or organization of my choice. I would use
convention like in a magazine i will add a picture in the center big picture or photo of the
certain topic and I’m going to add important information to make the audiences more
interested.
• How is understanding of the technical and symbolic codes contribute to media and
information literacy?
The technical and symbolic codes contribute a lot to media and information literacy. It
helps the information to become more informative and these codes are very visible to an
information. Code shows and gives information and ideas about a place, organization,
etc. ... It makes an information clear and understandable.
• Others reflection that they may want to share.
