Seminar on Media Literacy: "Mobilizing the Millennials as Socially Responsible Prosumers"

          This Seminar was held in APC's Auditorium at around 8 o'clock in the morning, 25 November 2105.The objectives of this seminar is to develop sense of social responsibility among the RAMpage editorial staff and APCians in general; and to create a discourse on media literacy among APCians.

This seminar has three speakers, First Edmallyne Remillano, she is a Head Writer, State of the Nation with Jessica Soho, and Secretary, Talents Association of GMA Network. Second Speaker, Jan Meynard Nualla, she is a Program Producer, Global Conversations on CNN Philippines Affiliation: and Talents Association of GMA (TAG), Society of Asian Journalists (SAJ). And the Third Speaker, Lian Nami Buan, she is a Associate Producer for Segments, State of the Nation with Jessica Soho; and Associate Editor, SubSelfie.com Affiliation, Talents Association of GMA.

                    These are some topics that I remember, discussed during the seminar.

          Those photos shows that people nowadays are more responsible for what is in or what is popular, I don't know what they get from it. It is very humiliating that people are more concern supporting Aldub nations rather than giving attention about the Lumads of Mindanao who are desperately calling out for help. It is very sad to think that people now are really doesn't care anymore about the happenings or tragedy that the world having now. I'm not talking in general but we could see most of people are really not in to this now and I know there is some people still are concerned. 

          Another one, this post makes me think that , Oh My G. ? Where's the privacy? Where is the respect? Really? I agree on what Jan Meynard Nualla said, that we cannot blame her/him for hearing this kind of conversations in public but broadcasting it on socaial medias such as twitter, facebook, etc. and some more mentioning the names I don't think that is right? Give some respect. Yes we have all the rights to post, to write whatever we want, but be responsible and think about your post if its just right. Respect others privacy.

          Thanks for Edmallyne Remillsno discussing the Role of the Media and Advocacy Journalism.

The three role of media, First is to Inform, to Educate , and to Entertain. I believe on that, Journalism is a Public Trust.. a Public Service.. The media is the Fourth Estate, A link between the private and public sectors, media has the power to set the agenda. Their Objectivity and fairness , lies in the process, corroboration, all sides of the rule and of course fairness. Advocacy Journalism increase awareness on certain issues, raise awareness, spark public discourse. Prosumers of media, proactive consumers of the media demand transparency, social relevance, demand discussion on pertinent issues that affect society and individual lives, be discerning of the reports that are presented to them and how they consume them.
