Law on Mass Media and Communication 7th Exercise “Protected Aspects” of Privacy. The Newsworthiness Standard. Legitimate Public Interest Standard. Deadline extended to Thursday, Nov. 14, 2019 at 5pm.
Enumerate at least five “protected aspects” of an individual’s privacy (private aspects of an individual’s life) that cannot be the subject of publication/ cannot be publicly disclosed unless they involve public interest and are newsworthy (or the person has waived privacy by volunteering the information ) ; then, submit a sample of a news feature/ news report/ feature report/ op-ed/ (time frame: media exposure/ media coverage from August 1, 2019 to November 14, 2019) to illustrate when such an aspect of a public person’s life has become of public interest and therefore can be published or publicly disclosed.
BONUS: For an additional 5pts, and in a separate post marked as “Explainer”, explain why the subject matter in the sample you chose has become of public interest or is newsworthy by: 1)using the categories discussed in class and 2)applying the standards established by jurisprudence. (a general explanation will not merit any points).
The deadline for both is on Thursday, November 14, 2019 at 5pm. As usual, this is on a “first-submitted-first-credited” method ( time frame : media coverage from Aug. 1, 2019 to Nov. 14, 2049) : Class members are not allowed to copy the sample or topic that has been submitted by their classmate.
VP Leni herself has not responded … The answer is…
Many personalities have given their opinions on whether VP Leni should say yes or no to the presidential appointment as co-chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs.
Yesterday afternoon when Neri Colmenares was asked his opinion, he said “I do not give unsolicited advice… etc”. i will do a Neri-Colmenares…

… it has been an overnight now.
She herself has not said anything.
The answer to whether she should say yes or no is… well, i do not give legal advice unless called up (phone call or email ) or unless sitting in a meeting where you were invited to sit as lawyer so you can catch anything that constitutes a legal issue …
Most lawyers practise this way.

Ok… it’s already near noon. This involves public interest …
Here’s a hint of the advice…
It’s not a yes or no answer, Ma’am… (see constitutional law, Administrative Code, and basic principles and experience in running government offices) …
Ok, it’s already 11:11am…
Ok… Since this involves public interest, here’s the gist of the advice: You’ll need hiring-and-firing powers, deployment powers (this is the calling-out power in constitutional law), and prosecutorial powers, to be successful in this assignment (delegated na lang muna) . PD30 will probably not agree to a blanket delegation but can actually agree to implementing specific recommendations by saying “Ok, I will approve every recommendation you make, we will implement it by authority of the President… etc. “
It’s not a yes or no answer. The point is: Is it possible to “clinch a lifetime’s argument” ?
