In order to give members of the class a heads-up, the 4th bonus (equivalent to twice the points, as stated before) will be on: A review of the conduct of any of upcoming televised presidential or vice presidential debates: March 20; April 10 (vice presidential); April 24; and the media coverage of these debates (articles, reports, etc.). The review should be on how the concerned media organizations handled the debate, and how other news organizations covered the debate, using the framework established in the codes of ethics taken up in class (KBP Broadcast Code, PPI, SPJ, MTRCB Guidelines, etc.). (Note that this is media ethics: you are reviewing the media organizations).

    (as stated before, any of the bonuses can be posted in lieu of a regular media monitor provided only one post per week will be credited. There will be no media monitor during the Holy Week).

    Happy reading and viewing!
