QUESTION TO PONDER:
Is communication is effective when it is being done
individually/within yourself or it is better when we
going to share it with one another?
Communication can be effective between 2
people whereas:
we convey information or thoughts or ideas for us
to build a bridge to a better relationship with
them.
The sense of communication it is meant to be
shared with one another because of course for
us not to be limited by our own knowledge, we
must explore other's idea so that we could
enhance, enrich whatever we know.
At the same time, communication can be
effective also to an individual by means of:
An individual has still an communicative skill on
himself when we have self-assessment which it is
an another form of intelligence whereas we
know what we are going to say before we
communicate to other people.
INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION /
INTELLIGENCE - particular intelligence whereas
we are effective in communicating within
ourselves.
BOTTOMLINE:
Communication is still effective when it is
shared with one another because we could
have a feedback, which can help us to become
better, could foster our personality, attitude,
perspective, opinion, etc.
DEFINING
COMMUNICATION
MEANING OF DEFINITION: ACCORDING
TO LITTLEJOHN AND FOSS (2008):
One of those everyday activities that is
intertwined with all of human life so
completely that we sometimes overlook its
pervasiveness, importance, and complexity
We considered that communication is intertwined
or knotted already as part of our human life, but we
tend to overlook its:
Importance
Pervasiveness the rampant of
communication
Complexities or we are not focusing about
the its complicatedness because we just know
the communicating is saying and receiving
something from someone without filtering what
we are going to say. Because through that, when
we are not going to think or assess the thoughts,
we are tend to be misunderstood.
MEANING OF DEFINITION: ACCORDING
TO BULAN AND DE LEON (2008):
Without speech or oral communication,
societies could not attain levels of civilization;
communities could not organize into living
and working groups, mark and ritualize
practices and traditions, debate and decide
different issues, and transform society for
good.
When there is no communication, we cannot
communicate with other people. And when the
world doesn't have communication, the society
cannot progress because we cannot what we feel.
Communication is not exclusive for humans, but we
are in the highest form of intelligence level of the
animal kingdom. Proper communication is
exclusive for us because we have systematize
language.

DEFINITIONS OF MEDIA
Media has been defined in several ways by
different sources. Strictly speaking, media is the
plural form of medium, although the former is
already acceptable as a singular noun.
Media is a channel where the communication
takes places, whereas this is the way the
information flows.
Media are the devices or the emergency of
technology like physical components, printed
materials and the Internet.
MEANING OF MEDIA: ACCORDING TO
OXFORD LEARNER'S DICTIONARY:
The main ways that large numbers of people
receive information and entertainment, that is
television, radio, newspapers, and the
Internet.
Give and receive. It is not mean that we say
media, we are only giving information
through it. Rather, we also received
information from it.
It could be in a way of form of physical
objectives like Television, Radio or printed
materials and intangible concepts like the

as radio, tv, computers or films, etc.
Physical objects - referring to physical
media.
What is needed to be combined would be
received or delivered with the physical
media to deliver an information through
the presence of electricity and satellite
or signals.
MEANING OF MEDIA: ACCORDING TO DAVID
BUCKINGHAM (2003), DIRECTOR OF THE
LONDON UNIVERSITY CENTEER FOR THE
STUDY OF CHILDREN, YOUTH AND MEDIA
(CALLISON & TILLEY, 2006):
Something we use when we want to
communicate with people indirectly, rather
than in person or by face-to-face contact.
Media can serve as an alternative
communication like in our current situation
today.
We have different media like Television,
radio, newspaper, etc.

MEDIA, INFORMATION, AND INFORMATION LITERACY

TECHNOLOGY LITERACY
WHAT IS LITERACY?
A literate individual refers to someone who
could read and write and commonly they
are professional, who obtained degree and
well-versed to their field and they are
multi-disciplinary.
In the complex definition of literacy, it
involves 5 basic macro skills, such as:
Productive Skills
Writing which we can produce texts or
articles or written symbols and
Speaking we can produce speech.
Receptive Skills - received information
in it
Reading can receive many information
and Listening we receive sound.
Because of the emergence of technology,
we have also a macro skill called viewing,
which it is also part of receptive skills we
interpret something from a particular
media.
Refers to the ability to recognize when
information is needed to locate, evaluate if
its valid or reliable, efficiently use, and
communicate information in its various
formats.
To be information literate, we must have the
sense inquisitiveness, as one of the
component of information literate where we
doubt the information we read if it is a fact
or false.
To be information literate, we have several
questions to be considered:
Where to locate the information? -
ensuring the source of information is
credible.
How to locate the information? - a
person has a ability to access a device to
locate an information
Why it should be located? - to avoid
false information; for you to acquire an
evidence.
 What is it that needs to be located? -
first, an information that is valid which
is relevant what we looking while
reliable, the author and source should
be credible.
TWO RAMPANT ISSUES ON
INFORMATION TODAY:
MISINFORMATION
It could not be a misinformation but an
incomplete information.
The one that the information disseminated
among mass media is incomplete, but still it is
factual information, but it just incomplete
information.
DISINFORMATION
Under this term is fake news.
This is when the author deceives people,
intentional or forceful of creating information.
DIGITAL LITERACY
Includes the ability to read and interpret
media, to reproduce data and images
through digital manipulation, and to
evaluate and apply new knowledge gained
from digital environments.
If you are digital literature, you know a lot
when it comes to physical devices, like
laptops, computers, cellphones.
It could be categorized into three parts for a
person tell that he/she is a digital literate:
HARDWARE LITERATE - the ability to
manipulate or basically operate the
different physical components of the
device (e.g. knowing how to use a
mouse, open a laptop, etc.)
SOFTWARE LITERATE - the ability to
manipulate the certain soft wares or
applications (e.g. several websites, etc.)
APPLICATION LITERATE - we are after
to its applicability, we are after its
utility, its usage or usefulness.
REMEMBER:
If we combine the two terms, information and
digital literacy, we can develop a media literacy.
THE DANGER OF
DESENSITIZATION
TRUTH ABOUT MEDIA...
Remember, this is now how the media is really
controlling, that they remove the "human"
from us.
Because media is powerful, it can control a
person's psychological capability.
DISENSITIZATION
Being desensitized person is compassioned
fatigue.
Compassion Fatigue is synonymous with the
word psychological numbness.
With the emergence of the genre of "violence"
becomes "normalize" already, we became numb.
According to TedTalk, we have been exposed by
a lot of crimes or violence, it seems it is a
normal happening already.
When it comes to media desensitization, we feel
less empathy because psychological speaking,
because it is too stressing/stressful or heavy for
us, we become apathetic already.
Desensitization is a feeling of apathy of a
person because of events that are normalize
on the society or world of media.
REMEMBER:
As a media netizen, you have 2 categories:
Either you are an accessory to the crime;
or
We are being accessory to the crime

about that. You don't have a voice with

You could do something.
We could voice out, signed petition or

To recalibrate yourself, you could do a lot and Check if the argument is one-sided or did they

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE MEDIA
AND INFORMATION LITERATE
There are two factors that can influence you to
become a media and information-literate individual:
A B
Acquiring more skills
Clarifying your goals
in discerning,
and motivations for
appreciating, and
seeking informations.
filtering information.
(A) We need to be clear with our goals to be a
media and information-literate in order to
have an efficiency. Clarifying your goals to
focus on one certain topic or angle so that we
can search faster and filter all the information
that we are taking for us to write an effective
text.
(B) We need to know how discern or
distinguish difference between facts or
opinions, but at the same not all facts are truth,
but all truths are fact thus we need to each
information to verify it or check it.
If a fact is verified, it becomes truth.
TYPOLOGY OF MEDIA
LITERACY
STAGE 1
ACQUIRING FUNDAMENTALS
Learning that there are human beings and
other physical things apart from one's self;
these things look different and serve different
functions.
Learn the meaning of facial expressions and
natural sounds.
Recognize shapes, form, size, color,
movement, and spatial relations.
Rudimentary concept of time - regular
patterns.
STAGE 1 NOTES:
This is the basic of the basic step in typology
of Media Literacy.
The literal thinking must included here like
recognition of shapes, form, size,
movements, spatial relation verbal and
non-verbal communication,
recognition/basic concept of time to know
the information is outdated or updated,
because in media literacy, we should be
familiar with the pictures, visual aids, and
what do they mean.
EXAMPLE:
What does this hand
sign symbol of?
Answer: ILLUMINATI
REMINDER:
If we don't have this fundamental, we don't
know how to recognize what is a circle,
triangle, you don't attach meaning to such, in
which attaching meaning falls under
language acquisition.
STAGE 2
LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Recognize shapes, form, size, color,
movement, and spatial relations, echo
sounds, and attach meaning to them.
Be able to reproduce speech sounds and
orient to visual and audio media.
Make emotional and behavior responses to
music and sounds.
Recognize certain characters in visual media
and follow their movement.
STAGE 2 NOTES:
Language Acquisition is also told as meaning
making stage.
We get meaning from language, single words,
shapes, and characters.
STAGE 3
NARRATIVE ACQUISITION
Acquiring meaning from the different
stories or narratives
Develop understanding of differences:
Fiction vs. nonfiction
Fiction it is based on imagination or
made of story. No matter how true the
story or the plot, if the characters and
setting are not really existing in real life
and they're were just fabricated out of
one's imagination.
Example: Jose Rizal's two novels, Noli
Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo is
considered fiction where the
characters and settings are fabricated
and they are just made up no matter
how true the situation is.
Non-fiction is based on real life
situation. It is always and will be
always characters, settings, and plots,
it will be based on the reality.
Ads vs. entertainment
Ads or advertisements or
commercials, it aims to sell a
product or service. It can be form of a
video, brochure, etc. And they could last
for a year, month, or week.
Entertainment or sometimes called as
commercials, aside from giving
entertainment, they make us aware
about the product, for the sake of
awareness.
Real vs. make-believe
Real is about reality.
Make-believe has two types: theories
and conspiracies.
Theory is a particular
assumption that it is not proven.
Example: Theory of Alien
Lightform.
Under Make-Believe (continuation):
Selective Information - just like in
Position paper, the argument is not strong
if it is always affirmative, thus, it must
have opposing arguments. remember,
everything you see is true, when it's one-
sided, it means make-believe
Understand how to connect plot elements
time sequencing
It has two strategies of author in
narration: Flashback and
Foreshadowing or Flashforward.
We should know how to assess the time
sequencing in the plot.
Foreshadowing is giving hints at
what happened in the end.
Flashback, the sequence is
returning to the past.
motive-action-consequence
Example:
Motive: One family man, he has
motive to have a mistress because
his wife is not good in sexual
activity.
Action: Having third-party
Consequences: Broken family
STAGE 3 NOTES:
In EAPP, when we say Narration, we tell a
particular story, therefore, Narrative
Acquisition, we get meaning from larger
part of a text from a movie or stories.
If we combining sounds, it can create words,
combines words, we form sentences, combines
sentences, we form paragraph, combines
paragraphs, we form stories.
In Make-believe, unless there is certainty
when it comes comes to information, credible,
reliable, valid, it can turn to real, but if it's not,
it is still Make-believe.
STAGE 4
DEVELOPING SKEPTICISM
Developing doubtfulness in an information
whether it is useful, valid, reliable or not.
Discount claims made in ads
We need to be doubtful that not all discounts
are really true, we need to skeptical in the
information consumed in the ads.
Sharpen differences between likes and dislikes
for shows, characters, and actions.
Whenever we look characters in the certain
movie, we could predict the ending of the
story by their attitudes, knowing their likes
and dislikes.
Make fun of certain characters even though
those characters are not presented as foils in
their shows.
Foil Character - you could grasp a
particular ambience of a particular
character if it is implicitly compared to
other/opposite character. They are being
used to highlight a particular character.
Example: When squid ward, which is
grumpy and Spongebob, who is jolly, and
when they are put beside to each other,
everyone's attention will be put to
Spongebob attitude as hyper character
will highlighted.
Even though those characters are not
presented as foils in their shows, if we are
developing doubtfulness, skepticism, you
make fun those characters, which is we are
doing critical thinking.
STAGE 4 NOTES:
Being skeptical, you are being doubtful or
unsure. Whenever we are being an information
literate, it is not enough that we only need
locate information, we know where to locate
it, how to evaluate it as well, with its validity
and reliability.
We must be doubtful in everything we see,
in media or in real life.
STAGE 5
INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT
It is already giving a person or the interest is
already happening in a person's system; you are
getting to be interested in the information a person
maximizing.
Strong motivation to seek out information on certain
topics.
This particular intensive development is already
starting to give interest, to give triggered interest to
seek or exploring it more or voluntarily seeking out
information.
Developing a detailed set of information on particular
topics (sports, politics, etc.).
It means we form our outlines as we scrutinized an
information.
High awareness of utility of information and quick
facility in processing information judged to be useful.
In this stage, it is like you are only skimming an
article, you would know already that is already
reliable, because you are reach the level of intensive
development as you have a high level of awareness
as to whether the information is valid, credible, or
fallacious.
STAGE 5 NOTES:
After we come up with our doubtfulness, we need to
have intensive development, we mean we have a
remarkable progress as a media literate.
STAGE 6
EXPERIENTIAL EXPLORING
You don't settle in an narratives, but digging
information with the use of audiovisual
presentations, or any different sources and
surprises new knowledge a person going to acquire.
Seeking out different forms of content and narratives.
We are not just satisfied with written narrative, we
can also satisfied with other narratives like videos,
etc.
Focus on searching for surprises and new emotional,
moral, and aesthetic reactions.
We are searching different modalities or media, in a
particular content, there are new knowledge that
we are discovering.
