Second Quarter/ Week 1 / Day 1
OBJECTIVE:
Cites studies showing proofs of positive and negative effects of media and information on
individual and society -MIL11/12PM-IVa-1
•
Identifies the role of media and information
YOUR LESSON TODAY
• The Positive and Negative Effects of Media and Information
TRY TO DISCOVER
Study the positive and negative effects of media and information listed below:
Positive Effects of Social Media
1. Develops Social Awareness
Social media raises awareness in the youth regarding sensitive issues that are not discussed in many societies. It
raises the consciousness of the hardships that people in different society face. It creates political and social awareness
and provides the information of how to access support in case a certain situation arises.
2. Source of Learning and Teaching
Social media is serving as a gateway for exchanging information. It has become a platform for different sources for
youth to improve their education. The sharing option that it provides has created a thesaurus for us from which we
can extract every single bit of information no matter how rare the topic is. It helps youth to reach out to the professors
or future employers or perhaps collaborate with their peers.
3. Improve Self-Confidence
Social media is serving as a source for boosting or building self-confidence in the youth. It makes them feel better
and good about themselves. The number of likes, shares, and comments of approval they receive enhances their
quality to feel good about themselves. The personalization of profiles allows them to experience a sense of
independence. The open platform for participation fosters their identity to interact with people that have similar taste
and help them to fit in well.
4. Amazing Platform to Showcase Talent
Social media is an amazing platform that offers the opportunity for showcasing the talent individuals conspires. It is
an amazing platform to put our best self out there and to be recognized for the individual identity and talent we
possess.
5. Saves Time
Social media has allowed us to save the majority of our time and utilize it somewhere productive. It enables us to
communicate in an effective manner. Education can be received in the comfort of our home through distance learning
or live streaming of classes offered. Teenagers improve their network all by being active on the social forums. It is
easier to stay in touch with friends and family through WhatsApp and Skype calling. The posting on social media
updates everyone within seconds. No need to glance at the newspaper every morning to get updated about current
happening.
Negative Effects of Social Media
1. Source of Anxiety and Depression
Social media use has often resulted in high level of anxiety and stress. The teenagers mostly compare themselves
with their friends on social media and perceive inadequacies if others are better at something which affects their life.
2. Cyber Bullying
It is one of the main ills of the social media because of the anonymity it offers. It increases the risk of violence, sex
abuse, and threats can result in deep emotional scars. It has long-lasting effects that are carried through to adulthood.
3. Thwarts Our Independence Thinking
The independence thinking of the youth is jeopardized with the use of social media as a result of peer pressure. The
drive to fit in has negative effect on persons own idea or thought because of the fear of criticisms
4. Reduces Productivity
The young generation is mostly found loafing around on the internet instead of spending their time in a productive
task. They waste their so much time on these platforms that at the end they have to buy an assignment for the online
service providers. They spend hours on social media stalking, checking updates and reacting to the activities of their
friends. It has become a platform for advertising rather than a communicating one.

5. Threat to Privacy
The risk of networking on social media among youth is the loss of privacy. Social media creates a digital footprint
whichever sites we visit, the comments we make and the post we share. This can have some serious repercussion in
future at both personal and professional level.

Read the news from CNN then answer the questions that follow.
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 6) — Authorities have arrested 32 people across the country
for allegedly spreading fake news about the coronavirus disease on social media.
The Philippine National Police said that by posting false information on COVID-19, the suspects
have caused panic among people.
The accused are now facing charges of violating "Unlawful Use of Means of Publication and
Unlawful Utterances” under Article 154 of the Revised Penal Code, the PNP said.
The penalties of "arrest to mayor" or imprisonment of one month and a day to six months, and a fine
ranging from ₱40,000 to ₱200,000, shall be imposed upon "any person who by means of printing,
lithography, or any other means of publication shall publish or cause to be published as news any
false news which may endanger the public order, or cause damage to the interest or credit of the
State,” according to Article 154.
Police said the suspects are from Quezon City, Eastern Visayas, Central Visayas, CALABARZON,
MIMAROPA, and Western Visayas. Zamboanga Peninsula, and CARAGA Region.
They said complaints have been filed for preliminary investigation for all 32 suspects, from March 9
to April 5.
PNP also warned the public against spreading any form of disinformation “that may affect overall
unified response to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
It said that it will be “relentless in taking countermeasures on misinformation and spread of fake
reports by conducting cyber patrol operations on social media and other online platforms.”
The Bayanihan Law which grants President Rodrigo Duterte additional powers to address the
COVID-19 crisis also contains a provision which punishes those who create or spread false
information about the viral disease.

YOUR LESSON TODAY
• Text Information and Media
TRY TO DISCOVER
Study text information and media. Please check the link in the references for further enhancement to
understand more about our topic for today.
What is TEXT in Information and Media?
Text – is a simple and flexible format of presenting information or conveying ideas whether handwritten, printed or displayed on-screen.
a. Text is very powerful as well in disseminating information, providing direction and giving
suggestions.
b. Text is available in different sources whether it is formal (news articles, published books,
newspapers, magazines, advertisements, research works, etc.) or informal (blogs, personal e-mails,
SMS or text messages, online messengers, social media platforms, etc).
• Formal text-based materials are created and distributed by established institutions (such as
publishing companies, news agencies, etc.) and go through a rigorous process of editing or
evaluation and are usually governed by censorship of the state.
• Informal text-based materials, on the other hand, come from personal opinions or views on
different issues, processes, etc.
c. Text can be as short such as a single sentence or phrase, or they can be as lengthy as news articles
or investigative reporting. No matter how brief or lengthy, however, a text is always carefully written
with the intent of sending a very specific message to the target audience.
d. In our exposure to text media and information, we can either be a consumer or a producer of content.
As a consumer, these are the questions that you need to ask with regards to the content of text media
and information:
• Who or what institution is sending this message?
• What techniques are used to attract and hold attention?
• What is the language used by the writer?
• What views are represented? Are they balanced?
• How might the message be interpreted in different ways?
• What is omitted, slurred or added in the message?
e. As a producer of text media and information, we need to review the med ia and information design
framework: target audience, author or sender, key content, purpose, form/style and format.

MEDIA AND INFORMATION LITERACY
Second Quarter/ Week 1 / Day 4
OBJECTIVE:
Analyzes how text information and media is/are formally and informally produced, organized,
and disseminated - MIL11/12TIM-IVb-4
YOUR LESSON TODAY
• Producing, Organizing and Disseminating Text Information and Media
TRY TO DISCOVER
Study the design principles and elements of a text which are emphasis, appropriateness, proximity
and alignment.
Organization, Repetition and Contrast.
1. Emphasis - refers
. to the importance
or value given to a part of the textbased content. When trying to make a
point or highlighting a message, you
can make the text bold, italicized, have
a heavier weight, darkened or lightened
(depending on your background color)
or enlarged.
4. Alignment refers to how the
text is positioned
in the page. This
can be left, right,
center or
justified.
2. Appropriateness - refers to how fitting
or suitable the text is used for a specific
audience, purpose or event. In the creation
of text-based content, make sure that the
selection criteria (tone, style, purpose,
clarity) is followed. As for the choice of
typefaces to be used, refer to the
discussion of the characteristics of the
fonts. When it comes to large body text,
the font should be clear enough to read.
5. Organization - refers to a conscious
effort to organize the different text
elements in a page. Organization ensures
that while some text elements are
separated from each other (based on the
principle of proximity), they are still
somehow connected with the rest of the
elements in the page. When there are
many elements needed to fit in a page,
start by creating a framework or a
compartment
6. Repetition- concerns consistency of
elements and the unity of the entire design.
Repetition encourages the use of repeating
some typefaces within the page. When
several typefaces are used on a page, it
might distract the audience and fail to
for the elements. Divide the space by

Page 16 of 20
3. Proximity - refers to how near
or how far are the text elements
from each other. When two things
are closely related, we bring them
close together. Otherwise, we put
text elements far from each other.
For example, the main title and
subtitle are usually placed close to
each other.
7. Contrast- creates visual interest
to text elements. Contrast is
achieved when two elements are
different from each other. When
you place a white text on a very
light-yellow background, contrast is
not achieved and the text will be
difficult to read, but when you put a
white text on a dark brown
background, contrast is created.
Contrast can be achieved in various
ways, by joining the following
elements: large font with a small
font, serif and sans serif, thin
elements with thin elements, cool
color and warm color
