Day 15: Media and Information Languages (Laboratory)
The fifteenth day of class for the second semester for Media and Information Literacy '17-'18. Our teacher, Mr. Rodel Mansilla Opiana, discussed more about Language.
During the discussion, we tackled some questions. Those questions and my answers are shown below:
What is language?
Language is used as a medium for communication.
How is media language being configured?
Media Language is configured depending on the author and targeted audience.
Who are consumers and producers of media?
The producers are the providers and creators of the media while the consumers are the audience needed to be satisfied by the producer.
We also discussed a scenario of a protest:
"A local government official was charged of graft and corruption and was suspended from his office. The government official announced that the charges were all fabricated and that he will not step down from his office. A large group of supporters are present to protest. hey barricaded the building where the official has once taken office. A struggle seems to start breaking out between the protesters and the police."
The teacher gave us another set of questions related to the scenario:
If you will be a reporter, are you going to use the conventional way of how each media will broadcast the given scenario?
