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
2
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, 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.
3
 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.

_______ 5. Documents may be displayed electronically.

Let’s discuss more.

Read and understand the different forms of Non-print media.
1. Slideshows- a presentation of photographic slides, or images on a transparent base,
placed in a projector 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.
3. Radio- a device for receiving, and sometimes broadcasting, sound messages, or the
receiving or sending of sound messages.
4. The internet- is the wider network that allows computer networks around the world run
by companies, governments, universities and other organizations to talk to one another.
5. Podcast- A digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a
computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can
be received by subscribers automatically.
Why use Non-Print media:
1. Faster-the earliest it can report a story is one day ahead due to printing and
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?
4. More convenient- lighter and more convenient to carry around.
5. More environmentally friendly- in our slowly deteriorating world, eco-
friendliness is an important part of life.
6. Helps the handicapped more- ex. The blind can easily enjoy a story book by
simply getting an audio book.

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 –

6
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 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
7
 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
11
long printed or non-printed source of information that comprehensively discussed the
topic.

4. Cost
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.
