For M230 Ethics & Legal Standards (Graduate School): For 7 points to be added to last week’s exam score: Illustrate the concept of prior restraint as discussed in class using cases of censorship (prior restraint) during the Marcos dictatorship 1972-1985 or up to Feb. 1986. Students may also include cases of subsequent punishment [imprisonment of media practitioners (journalists, writers, broadcasters, filmmakers, etc.] which works as a form of prior restraint on others because of its “chilling effect”. (do not use cases already taken up in class). Describe, narrate, or state the facts (one case/ situation/ incident only) in three to four paragraphs. (students who are shy and do not want to use their real names may hide under a pseudonym. Pls use the comments box below). Deadline: Monday 5pm. Available references include “The Philippine Press under Siege”, etc., accessible in the library.
The third Media Monitor or any of the bonuses can be posted here, deadline Tuesday Feb 23, 12 noon, instructions as stated in class. Thanks. (the comments box is at the bottom of the page, before the widgets, where it says “comments are welcome anytime”. tnx Ü )
