Gathering current information from a Newspaper Other Print Media and Non-print media
Reading newspaper and other print media is a good habit that can give a great sense of educational value.
With this habit, it will not only raise your knowledge about general information but it will likewise improve
your language skills and vocabulary.
People who read the newspaper, listen to news reports or watch news programs want the basic information
behind a story. Basic information can be summed up by addressing the 5 W’s: Who? What? Where? When?
and Why?
Your previous lesson talks about electronic search engine that is searching information in a systematic way
using the World Wide Web. In today’s lesson, let us have another way of searching information, and that is
through Print media.
As described, print media is the printed version of delivering the news, basically through newspapers and
magazines. Let’s get to know some examples of print media by doing this short task.
Activity 1. #Hashtag. Read and analyze the given definitions of some print media and locate the right word
in the box being referred to. Write the letter of your choice in your answer sheet.

#Newspaper #Brochure #Journals #Magazines #Poster

#Newsletter #Billboards #Books #Banner #flyer
__________1. A paper that is printed and distributed usually daily or weekly and that contains news, articles
of opinion, features, and advertising.
__________2. A daily record of news and events of a personal nature; a diary.
__________3. A large printed picture used for decoration.
__________4. A placard or sign carried in a procession or demonstration.
__________5. A bulletin issued periodically to the members of a society, business, or organization.
__________6. A periodical publication containing articles and illustrations, typically covering a particular
subject or area of interest.
__________7. These include text and graphics―mostly as a combination―so as to make it more appealing.
__________8. A collection of many printed pages, which are later bound together.
__________9. A kind of booklet that contains the details of the company, or organization.
__________10. This should always be crisp and eye-catching so that it attracts people’s attention.
Activity 2. We are the 5 W’s. Read the feature article and gather the basic information that you can find.
Retell the story into your own words. Be guided and include the 5W’s in your summary. Have it in 1 whole
sheet of paper.
A Taste of Korea's Finest Cuisine
By Ben Cal November 1, 2019, 11:44 am
MANILA -- A top Korean chef is in Manila to showcase a taste of Korea’s finest cuisine. Jang Jin-mo,
one of Korea’s leading chefs, gave a sample of his culinary expertise during a dinner hosted by South
Korean Ambassador Han Dong-man at the Grand Hyatt Manila in Taguig City Wednesday night.
Invited guests included Foreign Secretary Teodoro L. Locsin Jr., National Security Adviser Secretary
Hermogenes C. Esperon Jr., and Central Bank Gov. Benjamin Diokno, among others.
It was virtually “a taste of Korea’s finest” food as Jang demonstrated his culinary expertise by cooking
Korean-style marinated beef with mushroom puree as the main dish, a steamed ginger seabass, soy sauce,
sesame seeds, mirin, spring onion, and courgette ribbons, and a seafood soup with winter melon, scallops.
The appetizer was a raw fish, gochujang, pickle with fresh walnut, and the dessert was white chocolate red
bean mousse with mango cream, and a freshly brewed Korean traditional tea. Jin-mo, a chef for 10 years,
2
 is co-owner of a popular restaurant in South Korea.
He was given a standing ovation by the guests, who were very much satisfied with his culinary expertise
in Korean food.
In his short welcome remarks, Han noted that many Filipinos are patronizing Korean restaurants not only
in Manila, but also in the provinces.
He also said Koreans and Filipinos cook similar food such as pancit, and bulalo, and prepare the popular
halo-halo. (PNA.)

People get their news these days from a variety of sources, including television, radio, magazines and the
Internet. However, newspapers remain the most time-honored medium through which news is delivered to
people of all ages throughout the country.
Here’s how you can easily get information from a newspaper:
1. Look at the picture! Most newspaper articles come with a picture that relates to the story. Pictures are
rich sources of information, for example if the article is about the discovery of some dinosaur bones the
writer might add a diagram of a human standing next to the dinosaur to show you how big the dinosaur was.
This is called scale.
2. The first two sentences of the article are normally a summary of the entire article. This means that
you can decide whether or not you want to read it very quickly. If it doesn’t interest you, then move to
another article.
3. Articles normally contain foreground and background information. Foreground information is more
specific, more in depth, and tends to be the most current information.
Here is a news article that you are going to read. Apply the learned steps on how to read a newspaper article.
Activity 3. NAA says. In your paper, copy and fill out the “Newspaper Article Analysis Worksheet” below.
280 Filipinos from North Africa return to PH

By: Christia Marie Ramos - Reporter /

@CMRamosINQ
INQUIRER.net / 09:16 PM June 22, 2020
MANILA, Philippines — Some 280 Filipinos from
North Africa were brought home to the Philippines
Monday night, the “largest” and “most complicated”
repatriation to be carried out by the Department of
Foreign Affairs (DFA) from the region since the
conflict that broke out in Libya in 2014.
According to the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli,
which oversaw the repatriation, the repatriates
consisted of 227 Filipinos from Algeria, 39 from
Libya, and 14 from Tunisia.
Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Elmer Cato said the
repatriation, which was the result of the
collaboration between the embassy and employers,
took nearly two months to execute as it involved
coordination with employers and authorities in three countries.
On Sunday, a Philippine Airlines special flight landed in Algeria’s capital to pick up the over 200 Filipino
construction workers. It then proceeded to Tunis to pick up Filipinos from Libya and Tunisia.
A four-month old baby, five government personnel, and the remains of two hospal workers, who passed
away due to non-coronavirus-related complications, were among those repatriated from Libya, the
embassy said.
The 280 Filipinos arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport from Tunis Monday evening. The
DFA has so far recorded 8,301 COVID-19 cases among overseas Filipinos across 53 countries. Of the
number, 2,740 remain under treatment while 5,055 have recovered. There are 506 fatalities reported so
far, according to the DFA.

Gather Current information from a Non-Print media

Without communication an individual could never become a human being. Without mass communication an
individual could never become part of modern society. As children grow up they come into contact with
other social groups. The child of today comes into contact with groups other than those in school
This lesson talks about Non-Print Media. What do you think are these all about?
You have learned that Print media is a printed version of telling the news. Now, let’s have a brief drill of the
new lesson which is Non-print media.
Activity 1. Check me in. Below are the descriptions of print and non-print media. Put PM if it refers to
print media and NPM for non-print media.

and viewed sequentially on a screen.
2. TV- a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens, chiefly used to
broadcast programs for entertainment, information, and education.

delivery.
2. More interactive- it allows reader to see other related stories through links at
the side.
3. More versatile and can be specialized- Customization is the next key element
of online subscription. Only interested in stories sports?

Extracting Information using a Summary, a Precis and

Paraphrase
Summarizing teaches you how to discern the most important ideas in a text, how to ignore irrelevant
information, and how to integrate the central ideas in a meaningful way. Learning to summarize improves
your memory for what is read. Also, summarization strategies can be used in almost every content area.
As you go through this lesson, you will understand better how to make a summary out of the text using
summarization strategies and while performing the activities, you will develop your analytical and critical
thinking skills.
Summarization helps you to determine essential ideas and consolidate important details that support them. It
also enables you to focus on key words and phrases of an assigned text that are worth noting and
remembering. Thus, it teaches you how to take a large selection of text and reduce it to the main points for
more concise understanding.

Summary is a shortened version of a text that highlight its’ key points. To summarize is to retell a story in
your own words. Writing a summary is to make use of your own words, make it short, tell the important
points for the beginning, middle and end, don’t forget also the who – who are the characters, what – what
did the characters want, where – where did the story happen, when – when did the story happen, why - state
the conflict and how – how did the story end.

How to Write a Summary

STEPS
1 Read the material and identify the main ideas. Distinguish the main ideas from the details.
2 Write the main ideas in phrase form. The main ideas can be noted in a list, in a topic web, or
in the left column of two-column notes.
3 Begin the summary with an introductory statement.
4 Turn the main ideas into sentences, occasionally including details when it is necessary to
convey the main idea.
5 Combine the sentences into one or more paragraphs.
6 Use transition words to connect the sentences and the paragraphs.
7 Proofread the summary for punctuation, spelling, sentence structure, and content.

Use few words to tell the most important part of the story. Summaries should be written in the third person.
A summary focus solely on the content of what you have read, never on your opinion or thoughts about the
content.
Remember, when you present a summary, you want your reader to be confident that you are communicating
only what the writer said, not your own ideas about it.
Activity 1.The following are short stories, essays, and articles. Choose one and summarize. Use the best
strategy in summarizing which you think will best fit for the article. Use the Graphic organizer provided to
do the activity.

ARTICLE 1

Restaurants across the US are starting to reopen; however, guidelines vary from state to state. Common
rules include reductions in capacity, keeping tables six feet apart, limiting the number of people per group,
and requiring people to wear masks or face coverings. Georgia was one of the first states to allow
restaurants to reopen. However, many owners chose not to reopen, because the reduced capacity rules
made it nearly impossible to make money. In Ohio, restaurants are allowed to open their outdoor dining
6
 spaces first with indoor following later. One owner installed shower curtains between tables to help
maximize the number of people who could sit at once. Plexiglas was too expensive and difficult to install.
Choosing to reopen comes with its own risks. Diners must not hug the staff, and the staff need to make
sure that diners are washing their hands.

ARTICLE 2

An elderly Japanese man and his giant African pet tortoise Bon-Chan have become an Internet sensation
after pictures of them walking around parts of downtown Tokyo went viral. When the tortoise is not
enjoying a walk, he lives in a wooden enclosure designed by the owner himself and chomps on vegetables
and fruits, including carrots, lettuce and apples. Bon-chan, also named Master Roshi in reference to a
character from the popular Japanese cartoon series Dragon Ball Z, has not been weighed in a while but the
owner thinks that his pet is probably around 70 kilograms. The Japanese holiday O-bon inspired the name
Bon-chan which were taking place around the time when the tortoise was bought by the owner’s wife.

ARTICLE 3

Scientists at the University of Oxford, UK, say that a possible vaccine for COVID-19 could be ready in
September, which is months earlier than was originally planned. Researchers are hoping to get emergency
approval from regulators, which would allow them to make millions of vaccines by the fall. Oxford
vaccines, that were effective over the last year, involved trials on macaque monkeys. Oxford scientists
hope to conduct thousands of clinical trials in the coming weeks; however, scientists are not sure that
humans have the same immunity as monkeys. Sometimes it takes years to develop a vaccine and to make
it available for patients. In case of a vaccine for COVID-19, health officials have suggested that it could
take between 12 to 18 months.

STORY 1
One day the Moon, who was a woman named Kabigat, sat out in the yard making a large copper pot.
The copper was still soft and pliable like clay, and the woman squatted on the ground with the heavy pot
against her knees while she patted and shaped it. Now while she was working a son of Cal-chal, the Sun,
came by and stopped to watch her mold the form. Against the inside of the jar she pressed a stone, while
on the outside with a wooden paddle dripping with water she pounded and slapped until she had worked
down the bulges and formed a smooth surface. The boy was greatly interested in seeing the jar grow
larger, more beautiful, and smoother with each stroke, and he stood still for some time. Suddenly the
Moon looked up and saw him watching her. Instantly she struck him with her paddle, cutting off his head.
Now the Sun was not near, but he knew as soon as the Moon had cut off his son's head. And hurrying to
the spot, he put the boy's head back on, and he was alive again. Then the Sun said to the Moon, "You cut
off my son's head, and because you did this, ever after on the earth people will cut off each other's heads.

STORY 2
One very hot day, when a carabao went into the river to bathe, he met a shell and they began talking
together. "You are very slow," said the carabao to the shell. "Oh, no," replied the shell. "I can beat you in
a race." "Then let us try and see," said the carabao. So they went out on the bank and started to run. After
the carabao had gone a long distance he stopped and called, "Shell!" And another shell lying by the river
answered, "Here I am!" Then the carabao, thinking that it was the same shell with which he was racing,
ran on. By and by he stopped again and called, "Shell!" And another shell answered, "Here I am!" The
carabao was surprised that the shell could keep up with him. But he ran on and on, and every time he
stopped to call, another shell answered him. But he was determined that the shell should not beat him, so
he ran until he dropped dead.

 COMPARING CONTENT OF MATERIALS VIEWED TO OTHER SOURCES OF
INFORMATION
Making Comparison of Contents of Print and Non-print Sources
Comparison or comparing is the act of evaluating two or more things by determining their similarities and
differences.
These guide questions will help you compare the contents of the materials that you viewed and listened to.
1. What is the printed text all about? How about the audio?
2. Cite two information that are found both in the text and in the audio.
3. What information is present in the printed text that is not found in the audio?
4. Give an information that is present in the audio but not found in the printed text.
5. In this particular activity, which of the two sources gives you more information?

To help you visually organize information, let us use graphic organizers to present comparison of contents
of materials.
Examples:

Factors Affecting Your Source Preference

When can you decide to use or consult a print or non-print source of information? Below are factors that
determine what source of information is more suited to you.

1. Availability or Accessibility
Which source of information is within your reach? Print sources can be easily found in your house, in
school, or in the library. While, non-print sources are readily available if you have an access to the internet,
TV, or radio.

2. Convenience (Learning Style)

What is your learning style? If you find it easy to learn or get information by viewing or reading any
material, then you may refer to a printed source of information. But if you find it easier to learn by just
listening than reading then you may opt to the non-printed sources of information. However, both of them
are necessary. You can learn easily if you have good viewing and listening skills.

3. Length of Information
How comprehensive is the information you need? The length of content depends on how lengthy your
source is. If you look for a more detailed information, then you can choose a long printed or non-printed
source of information that comprehensively discussed the topic.

4. Cost

10
Which source of information is less expensive for you? You may borrow, rent, or buy books and other
printed materials in order to get the information you needed. And for you to have an access to the non- print
sources of information, you must use electronic devices like radio, TV, or internet.
Activity 2: What I Like
Let us find out what factors affect you every time you will look for a source of information. In the first
column, you have the situations or instances where you need to refer to a source of information. Then in the
second column, you will choose whether you will consult to a print or non-print material. Finally, in the
third column, you will indicate the factor or factors affecting your choice.
