“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.”

*** media monitor by Maria Angelita on Interkasyon.com, “Last September 14, 2014, a headline from InterAksyon.com read: “3 dead, 3 missing, 113 rescued from sunken RORO vessel off Southern Leyte News like this requires accuracy of information for the sake of the affected. Information like the time is crucial which is why the fact that InterAksyon.com corrected their information (as seen below) as soon as possible is commendable. “ “Pama said that at around 7:30 p.m., the ship started having problems. At 9:20 p.m., the ship sank.(Editor’s note: Time when problems started and time of sinking corrected.)”(interaksyon.com) “By adding corrections, they were displaying truthfulness in reporting and exercising care to avoid inadvertent error. They made sure to check in with the source to get the right information to report. Once they’ve realised their mistake, they know they are accountable to their readers which is why they admitted their mistake and corrected it as soon as they can.” ;@ ;@ ;@ :@ ;@ ;@ By karenadsantiago, on philstar.com/2014/09/15/chinese-nationals-p7-b-drug-raid-charged “XXX It can be observed in the article how the suspects ethnicity and race was so heavily highlighted. It is mentioned not only in the title but in nearly every paragraph how the suspects are Chinese. The second paragraph even goes as far as listing their individual hometowns in China. “Reading the article reminded me of another common form of the violation. I recall how it was discussed in class how reporters would often highlight religion in war/terrorist crimes; particularly if the terrorists are muslim.XXX Ms. Camille Diola however should not have been carried away with attaching “Chinese” to every other sentence when naming the suspects and detailing what they were arrested for would’ve been sufficient.” ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ by ivydelacruzy on: inquirer.net/zamboanga-conjugal-tents-seen “xxx In a news article by Julie S. Alipala of inquirer Mindanao “Zamboanga Conjugal tents Seen”, which talked about how terrorism crisis in Zamboanga affects the hundreds of thousands of residents particularly marital affairs between families. the city government proposed having “conjugal tents or spaces” for couples who are deprived of sexual activities midst the rebellious activities in the province. “It mentioned different opinions of the authorities and presented the views of the different sectors toward the proposed solution for this marital concern. The opposing sides mentioned were from the clergy, human and children’s rights advocates, peace corps, and organizations against child trafficking. It was a complete, detailed projection of a possible threat to children and community welfare.” ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ ;@ by Kristina Rivera: on plagiarism in the social media.
in katyaroxas. com “xxxAs you read the article you will see that the person clearly plagiarized her work, and even tried to cover it up (very poorly, for that matter). “xxx If you can’t avoid using someone else’s work, at least be aware enough to PROPERLY credit that person.” (3rd of 4 parts)
