      “Since I was not able to watch live the 2014 UAAP Cheerdance Competition (CDC), I decided to follow the results on the news. Both the two largest network in the country, ABS-CBN News and GMA News had their coverage.

      “I really commend Dyan Castellejo for her news coverage on the UAAP CDC: (youtube link) It is because she was able to deliver the the report without biases. After stating that it was NU Pep Squad who won the competition, it was followed right away with the other seven competing universities. She also discussed how all the universities strive hard to perform better. She stated all the themes and improvement made by all the teams. Although, it was NU Pep Squad who won and it sis just right to allocate more time of the news for them, there was an equal treatment. All sides of the story were aired.

      “Also, they were able to to do the coverage right after the competition is done and they someone doing the report on the Araneta Coliseum unlike with the other station. Having the audiences being on the background added impact to the news and gives the viewers an idea about the excitement happening on the venue. I am not sure but I think it is because it was ABS-CBN who was doing the over-all coverage.”

      “ ‘Pinas, Delikadong Bansa Raw Para sa mga Koreano,’ This was the headline of the news from News 5 Everywhere. From the news story, the Philippines was declared the most dangerous country for Koreans and this is according to their publication, Korea Times last September 11.

      “I first heard of this news on radio but it clearly states there, SOUTH KOREANS. This was the reason why I searched for related articles regarding this matter and I found one which was published on anc.yahoo.com last September 15 entitled, “Ph tagged as most dangerous country for South Koreans.”

       “For this news report, I found two unethical issues. First is the misleading news headline and even the news report as a whole because it was not mentioned that it was only for the South Koreans and not the whole Korean community that was affected by the statistics. Hasty generalization was used on this news report. Second, though they showed the breakdown of crimes that happened last 2013 involving Koreans, they should have also shown the complete percentage of South Korean tourists arrivals in our country from January to June to support the said decline of visitors.”
