ACTIVITY #1 1. Using the following guide questions, analyze a daily newspaper. a. What seems to be the political link of the paper? Show your pieces of evidence. b. Is it radical, liberal, conservative, or reactionary? Cite your reasons. THE CASE OF THE MAGUAD SIBLINGS The paper's political affiliation appears to be radical, liberal, and reactionary. Here's some evidence to help us comprehend what's going on. • Radical -When the parents of the Maguad siblings learned that the two minor suspects were still being shielded, they were crushed. It demonstrates their eagerness to obtain justice for their children in this matter. The parents were seeking assistance in locating Janice's father, whom they suspected of being engaged in the crime. As a result, this indicates that they want to amend the law, particularly the age minimum for criminals. This means that our country will undergo significant economic or political change. "Itong si Pangilinan, talagang hindi niya ginamit ang utak niya. Itong human rights na'to makinig kayo. P********. Sinong runner ng droga? Mga bata, ibigay sa kanila sabihin nila ibigay mo yan sa tao nakatindig. Oh, mga bata eh hindi ka makulong nang dahil sa Pangilinan law nayan. Napakagago.” -President Rodrigo Duterte On Senator Kiko Pangilinan Juvenile Law •Liberal -It demonstrates how the Philippine President advocates for changes in the law. President Rodrigo Duterte explains some of his experiments, which show Pangilinan's that law Senator increases Kiko the number of criminal cases in the Philippines. Hence, this indicates how he contributes innovative thinking to protect youngsters and promote environmental peace in the country. •Reactionary REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9344 AN ACT ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE JUVENILE JUSTICE AND WELFARE SYSTEM BY SENATOR KIKO PANGILINAN -I believe that Pangilinan prevents changes, rather than promoting political or social change or new ideas, which is unfair. Everyone wants to help the Philippines develop. And the law we must execute before a child may behave or think wrongly is one that instills dread in them that they will be condemned and arrested, not one that encourages them to do evil as they knew they will not be detained due to the laws that protect them. 2.

Sandigan Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English 2ND SEMESTER A.Y. 2021-2022 CAMPUS JOURNALISM - LEAD Activity #2 •INSTRUCTIONS: Critically evaluate the following leads. Select the best leads and explain why they are effective. In addition, point out the flaws in the remaining leads. As you evaluate the leads, look for lessons—"do's and don'ts"—that you can apply to your work. 1. A Baptist minister was convicted of drunken driving Tuesday and sentenced to 30 days in jail after a jury saw a police video of his failed sobriety test. Best lead: A Baptist minister was convicted of drunken driving. -The good lead is in the active voice, which means the subject was in the act and has a direct object. It also answers all three of the 5Ws and H. These are the “who”, “what” and “why”. Flaw lead: Tuesday and sentenced to 30 days in jail after a jury saw a police video of his failed sobriety test. -Remove any unnecessary words. A successful lead does not need to include as many details as a dull and lengthy one. Do not lure the audience into reading a story that they are not eager in. Make it as short as possible, ideally one phrase. 2. Police Chief Barry Kopperud is concerned about juvenile crime in the city. Best lead: Police Chief Barry Kopperud is concerned about juvenile crime in the city. -The subject is acting out the sentence in this lead. It's also well summarized in a way that the audience would find interesting and understandable after reading it. In other words, the lead answered the queries “who”, “what”, and “when”. 3. During a press conference in her office at 8 a.m. today, Mayor Sabrina Datolli spoke about the city's need for more parks. Best lead: Mayor Sabrina Datolli spoke about the city's need for more parks. -This phrase demonstrates that the subject in the act is given a title. It is concise and direct to the point where the audience will understand the concept. The clause can also stand alone and be interpreted. Flaw lead: During a press conference in her office at 8 a.m. today. -It is not required to provide facts like the time and day because they are insufficient to justify the first reflection in the lead, although they are frequently utilized to begin a speech story. The essence of the story is not involved in the lead. Avoid using euphemisms. CAMPUS JOURNALISM - LEAD Activity #2 4. With no debate, the City Council passed an ordinance Thursday to help fight crime by installing more street lights in three neighborhoods. Best lead: The City Council passed an ordinance to help fight crime. -The headline is short and to the point, efficiently summarizing the news story. It also emphasized the message of the story. Flaws: A. With no debate. -This is a hint with information that doesn't belong in a lead. Keep your signage simple. B. Thursday -Remove any unneeded words such as day, time, and date because the event had already happened. C. By installing more street lights in three neighborhoods. -For the lead, the phrase is too lengthy and contains too many topics. Most leads can be written as a single, clean, graceful statement. Avoid using circumlocution. 5. Loans become popular way for students to conquer costs of college. Best lead: Loans become popular way for students to conquer the costs of college. -The lead is precise and properly conveys the news story. Rather than providing a description, this lead describes or paraphrases how the loans aided the students. This lead also answered the “what”, “why”, and “who” queries. 6. The campus is home to a variety of stray and wild animals. Best lead: The campus is home to a variety of stray and wild animals. -The lead is memorable and engaging for the viewers. It begins with nouns and verbs that are vivid, fascinating, and colorful. This also provided answers to the questions, “who” and “what”. 7. Four years ago AIDS victim Edwin Jimenez, 22, learned he had only six months to live. Flaws: Four years ago AIDS victim Edwin Jimenez, 22, learned he had only six months to live. -The phrase is ambiguous since it can be interpreted in several ways. Ambiguity can be a beneficial technique, but this sentence may be skeptical, especially due to the viewers' inability to distinguish it. The lead often omits the names of the people engaged in the news story because their identities are less essential than what happened to them. CAMPUS JOURNALISM - LEAD Activity #2 Best lead: An AIDS patient was advised he only had months left to live. -The lead should not be overburdened with explicit words. Be cautious of the person's details. Things like your information should not be included because it will make people feel bad, which may affect them either purposefully or unintentionally. If attribution is required for credibility, do so, but be fair and balanced. 8. Do not cross off Dec. 1 in your countdown towards Christmas. Instead, make plans to attend World AIDS Day on Campus Green. Best lead: Do not cross off Dec. 1 in your countdown towards Christmas. -The lead is straightforward and news-oriented. It can also be used to motivate and enlighten viewers. Flaws: Instead, make plans to attend World AIDS Day on Campus Green. -The statement is just more information that will detract from the significance of the news. Try to keep the language simple. One frequently applied method for keeping a news lead objective is to credit other people's opinions and avoid expressing your views. 9. A panel of seven local journalism professionals discussed important media issues, including the role of the press, at the university Tuesday. Best lead: A panel of seven local journalism professionals discussed important media issues. -The news was interesting and remarkable. For viewers to recognize accreditations, they should always occur at the beginning of the story. Flaws: Including the role of the press, at the university Tuesday. -This phrase is simply an extra detail that can dull your lead. Other information, such as the date and location, can be added later. Because the event has already occurred, it is unnecessary to inform the readers of the location and date in advance. 10. The week of Homecoming will be filled with numerous activities and freebies for students. Best lead: The week of Homecoming will be filled with numerous activities and freebies for students. -The phrase was short and to the point, succinctly summarizing the story. It begins with a series of bright, fascinating, and vivid nouns and adjectives that will grab the viewers' interest. It also addressed the issues of “who”, “what”, and “when”.
