D. Discussion
Communication is the act or process of using words, sounds, signs, or behaviors to express or
exchange information or to express your ideas, thoughts, feelings, etc., to someone else. It is the
exchange of information and the expression of feeling that can result in understanding.

How is communication affected by media and information?

There is no doubt that social media really changed the way we communicate with each
other. Social media reduced the barriers in communication, making it easier for everyone to
express their thoughts to the world. Social media also helps widen the knowledge of an
individual. Social media- sourced information is now more handy making everyone involved and
active in society.
Social media has also made it easier to connect with friends and families more than ever.
Communicating online us now the latest trend in communication, there is an app or program
where a person is allowed to see the face of the person he is talking to, giving the vibe that they
are talking personally. With this, a study was conducted to discover the effects of social media in
friendships, and it shows that social media helps 30% of the respondents to feel closer with their
friends, while 26% said that social media help them have more friends.

Even if social media improve the way we communicate, it also has its downsides, a study
showed that one out four people is more active in socializing online than in person, and 11% of
people prefer to communicate through their devices, even though there’s a chance to see a
person face-to-face. Also, the interpersonal communication skills of an individual are being
affected in the process. If an individual will practice online conversations more often, it will be
hard for him to express his thoughts and ideas clearly especially in a face-to-face conversation
with someone.
Social media also made a person unmindful of the consequences of their posts. Social
media made everyone feel that they are allowed to say whatever comes to their mind, making
them say things that they would not normally say on personal encounters, thus fueling up
bullying. Social media allows everyone to gain virtual friends, and it can be potentially used to
harm another person since social networking sites cannot assure user identity.
The positive aspects of social media outdo its negative effects, but it is still needed to be
used with great deal of caution. Everyone should be mindful of using social media as it can have
great effects on users’ personal lives with risks associated in its exploitation.

KAREN DAVILA ACCUSED OF POLITICAL BIAS

QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Karen Davila, news
anchor for the now defunct ABS-CBN Broadcasting network, likes to think of herself as the
Philippines’ female version of BBC’s Stephen Sackur, always ready with her hard-hitting questions of
her guests. She has interviewed top politicians, celebrities and controversial personalities, among
them Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto and Senator and
champion boxer Manny Pacquiao. But now, Davila is being accused of political bias after she
interviewed Vilma Santos, Representative for the Lone District of Lipa, Batangas regarding her
Congressional vote to grant ABS-CBN a new franchise. Critics reminded Davila that she should
always present both sides of any news story or controversy which she failed to do when she gave
Santos air time (via Internet) to explain her vote.
Davila received a strongly-worded protest-letter from the Noranians, demanding that their idol and
Vilma Santos’ onscreen nemesis — Nora Aunor — be given equal time on her program. The Adobo
Chronicles caught up with Davila at the parking lot of ABS-CBN’s Mother Ignacia compound and we
asked her for her reaction to the letter. She said she already sent a text to Aunor inviting her to a
guest on one of her future shows.
