JOURNALISM, BLAH SHOULD

WE REALLY TALK ABOUT IT?

1. JUST BECAUSE IT’S RARE DOES NOT MEAN JOURNALISTIC/MEDIA DEBATE NEVER
EXIST
2. DON’T TAKE FOR GRANTED MEDIA/NEWS ARGUMENT
EXAMPLE :
“THBT FEMINIST MOVEMENT SHOULD USE CELEBRITY AS SPOKESPERSON”
a. FEMINIST MOVEMENT
SHOULD USE CELEBRITY
AS THEIR
SPOKESPERSON TO B. “IT WILL ATTRACT MEDIA
MAKE OUR MOVEMENT COVERAGE AND TRIGGER
BECOME EVEN MORE DISCOURSE IN SOCIETY”
FAMOUS AND WE CAN
GAIN MORE SUPPORTERS”
1. WHY IS THAT THE CASE? 1. WHY? WHAT KIND OF EVENTS THAT
- BECAUSE WE ARE BEING REPORTED ON TRIGGER MEDIA COVERAGE?
THE MEDIA QUITE OFTEN
2. WHY IT WILL TRIGGER DISCOURSE IN
2. HOW OFTEN? SOCIETY?
3. WHY WOULD IT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT 3. WHAT KIND OF DISCOURSE THAT
PEOPLE MIND THAT THEY SUDDENLY
WILL HAPPEN?
BECOME FEMINIST SUPPORTER?
4. EVEN WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT OF 4. WHY THE DISCOURSE WILL BRING
SUPPORTER, SO WHAT? SIGNIFICANT OUTPUT?
 WHAT IS JOURNALISM?

• JOURNALISM IS THE ACTIVITY OF GATHERING, ASSESSING, CREATING, AND

PRESENTING NEWS AND INFORMATION. IT IS ALSO THE PRODUCT OF THESE
ACTIVITIES.
• JOURNALISM IS NOT ONLY ABOUT PROVIDING PEOPLE WITH INFORMATION BUT
PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH VERIFIED INFORMATION THEY CAN USE TO MAKE BETTER
DECISIONS, AND ITS PRACTICES, THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS A SYSTEMATIC
PROCESS – A DISCIPLINE OF VERIFICATION – THAT JOURNALISTS USE TO FIND NOT
JUST THE FACTS, BUT ALSO THE “TRUTH ABOUT THE FACTS.”
 FIVE PRINCIPLES OF JOURNALISM

1. TRUTH AND ACCURACY

2. INDEPENDENCE
3. FAIRNESS AND IMPARTIALITY (COVER BOTH SIDES)
4. HUMANITY
5. ACCOUNTABILITY
 WHY IS THAT MATTER?

TO FULFILL THE PURPOSE OF JOURNALISM

• NEWS IS THAT PART OF COMMUNICATION THAT KEEPS US INFORMED OF THE
CHANGING EVENTS, ISSUES, AND CHARACTERS IN THE WORLD OUTSIDE. THOUGH IT
MAY BE INTERESTING OR EVEN ENTERTAINING, THE FOREMOST VALUE OF NEWS IS AS
A UTILITY TO EMPOWER THE INFORMED.
• THE PURPOSE OF JOURNALISM IS THUS TO PROVIDE CITIZENS WITH THE
INFORMATION THEY NEED TO MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR
LIVES, THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEIR SOCIETIES, AND THEIR GOVERNMENTS.
ANSWERING EARLIER QUESTION, WHAT KIND OF
EVENTS THAT CAN MAKE IT TO THE “NEWS”
• NEWS VALUE : CRITERIA TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT CERTAIN EVENT IS IMPORTANT
ENOUGH TO BE PUT ON THE MEDIA
1. PROXIMITY
2. PROMINENCE
3. TIMELINESS
4. IMPACT
5. MAGNITUDE
6. CONFLICT
7. ODDITY
BUT HOW ABOUT OUR CURRENT NEWS MEDIA?
TO CERTAIN EXTEND NEWS MEDIA IS A
CAPITALIST ENTITY

THEY TREAT NEWS DIFFERENTLY

a. TIMING
b. AIRTIME
c. PRESENTER
 LETS PUT IT ON THE ARGUMENT

a. “FEMINIST MOVEMENT SHOULD USE CELEBRITY AS THEIR SPOKESPERSON TO MAKE OUR MOVEMENT BECOME EVEN
MORE FAMOUS AND WE CAN GAIN MORE SUPPORTERS”
1. WHY IS THAT THE CASE?
- BECAUSE WE ARE BEING REPORTED ON THE MEDIA QUITE OFTEN
2. HOW OFTEN?
- VERY OFTEN!
3. WHY WOULD IT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT PEOPLE MIND THAT THEY SUDDENLY BECOME FEMINIST SUPPORTER?
- THE POWER OF FANDOM
4. EVEN WITH THE HUGE AMOUNT OF SUPPORTER, SO WHAT?
- DIRECT BENEFIT
- POLICY CHANGES
 IN THE WAKE OF JACOB BLAKE
SHOOTING AS AFRICAN AMERICAN
ATHLETES IN THE NBPA, THIS HOUSE
WOULD BOYCOTT REMAINING OF THE
NBA SEASON
HOW DO WE CHANGE THE CURRENT CONDITION THROUGH BOYCOTTING? OR EVEN WHY BOYCOTTING IS
NECESSARY?
1. HOW DO SOCIAL MOVEMENT OPERATES
WE ARE NGO, WE DON’T HAVE ANY MAJOR SUPPORTERS , WE RELY ON NEWS MDIA AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO SPREAD
OUR COST AND GAIN SUPPORTERS
- UNDERSTAND MEDIA IS TO CERTAIN EXTEND A CAPITALIST DO YOU THINK WHAT KIND OF NEWS THAT WILL BE
AIRED IF THE NBA SEASON CONTINUE? : THE NBA
- HOW WOULD IT IMPACT THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT? SOCIAL MOVEMENT SUPPORTER EXIST IN A SPECTRUM :
A. PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW ABOUT BLM WILL REMAIN BLIND
B. THE “SEASONAL” SUPORTERS MIGHT GONE BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE LIMITED ATTENTION SPAN
C. THE HARDCORE SUPPORTERS WILL STRUGGLE
- WHEN BLM LOST THEIR SPOTLIGHT WHAT WILL HAPPEN
A. LESS AWARENESS
B. LESS DIRECT BENEFIT
C. EASIER TO TAME
 COMPARATIVE
• HOW DO WE CHANGE THE CONDITION?
WE INCREASE THE AIRTIME OF BLM NOT ONLY ON NEWS MEDIA BUT ALSO IN SOCIAL MEDIA
- WHY ? NEWS VALUE! IT’S SENSATIONAL ITS JUICY ! PRIME TIME , HIGH AIRTIME, AND HIGH CLASS
PRESENTER
IMPACT :
- INCREASING AWARENESS OF THE IGNORANT
- POSSIBLY IMPROVE THE “SEASONAL” SUPPORTERS FROM THE FANDOM
WHY WOULD THEY DO SO?
THEY ARE DIE HARD FANS!
- INCREASE THE SPIRIT AND THE CAPITAL FOR THE HARDCORE SUPPORTERS
IMPACT :
a. DIRECT BENEFIT
b. POLICY CHANGES
HOW DO WE TRANSLATE MEDIA EXPOSURE TO POLICY
CHANGES?
“MORE EXPOSURE EQUAL TO MORE PEOPLE TALKS ABOUT IT, MORE PEOPLE TALKS
ABOUT IT : IT BECOMES MAJORITY CONCERN, AND MAJORITY CONCERN ALWAYS
ATTRACT POLITICIAN”
1. PROVE WHY THE NEWS WILL BE THAT BIG
2. PROVE HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT MOST LIKELY RESPONSE ABOUT IT
3. PROVE WHY THE RESPONSE WOULD BE POSITIVE
4. DON’T BE TO AGRESSIVE
 SOCIAL MEDIA CORNER!

LETS TALK ABOUT “DISCOURSE”

 TH REGRET THE RISE OF POLITICAL SATIRE (I.E
MEME IN SOCIAL MEDIA, TV SHOWS,WEBTOON)
GOVERNMENT TEAM :
1. ANALYZE POLITICAL SATIREIN MEDIA : OVERSIMPLIFIED ISSUE, AD HOMINEM, EVEN
TO CERTAIN EXTEND SEXIST
 ARGUMENT :

CREATE A BAD POLITICAL EDUCATION

1. CREATE ILLUSION OF UNDERSTANDING
- BUT EVEN IF IT DOES CONTAIN OF SOME IMPORTANT FACTS BECAUSE IT BEING PRESENT
AS A JOKES IT WILL CREATES CONFUSING MESSAGE
2. CREATE TOXIC AND UNRELIABLE DISCUSSION SINCE IT USUALLY HAPPEN IN SOCIAL
MEDIA
- MAKES POLITIC PERCEIVE AS BAD
- OVERSHADOW IMPORTANT DISCUSSION (SINCE WE HAVE LIMITED ATTENTION SPAN)
COMPARATIVE
- TRADITIONAL CAMPAIGN AND NEWS MEDIA IS MORE RELIABLE : IT CONTAIN VERIFIED
INFORMATION, IT COVER BOTH SIDES
- CAMPAIGN AND NEWS MEDIA IS ALREADY PROGRESSIVE
 OPP TEAM

• MEMES ARE NECESSARY ! WHY?

- “ IT POPULAR AND WILL TRIGGER DISCOURSE IN SOCIETY”
WHY? AND WHY ITS IMPORTANT?
CONTEXT : WHO IS THE TARGET OF POLITICAL SATIRE?
1. YOUNGSTERS
- YOUNGSTERS TO BEGIN WITH DOESN’T CARE ABOUT POLITIC, BECAUSE THEY THINK
THAT POLITIC IS ALREADY SO DIRTY NOT TO MENTION HOW POLITIC IS FULL OF
COMPLICATION, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SUITABLE WITH THE YOUNGSTER SPIRIT
1. MIDDLE TO LOWER CLASS SOCIETY
- BACK THEN POLITIC SEEN AS SOMETHING NOT UNDERSTANDABLE ONLY PEOPLE
WITH SUIT AND TIE THAT WILL UNDERSTAND
- THIS CONDITION IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT EMBOLDEN APATHY FROM SOCIETY TO
POLITICS, IT’S BAD BECAUSE IT MEANS MORE ABSTAIN DURING VOTING AND LESS
SURVEILLANCE FOR THE POLITICIAN BECAUSE PEOPLE DOESN’T CARE
AS A RESULT WHEN SOCIETY KNOWLEDGE IS IMPROVING IT WILL IMPROVE
A. POLITICAL DISCOURSE
ALL THIS TIME POLITIC IS BEING VIEWED AS SOMETHING THAT IS BORING , DIRTY AND COMPLICATED, ONLY PEOPLE WITH
SUIT AND TIE THAT CAN UNDERSTAND POLITIC.
WHY THE DISCOURSE WILL HAPPEN?
- BUT WHEN WE USE MEMES, IT’S GOING TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO THE DISCUSSION BECAUSE MEMES ARE RELATABLE
ALMOST ALL LAYERS FROM ALL BACKGROUND OF SOCIETY , BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYONE LOVES JOKES!
HOW THE DISCOURSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN? WHY ITS GOING TO BE A HEALTHY DISCOURSE
- IT’S ALSO NOT TRUE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO NOT KNOW ANYTHING, BECAUSE EVEN IF THE JOKES ARE BEING
OVERSIMPLIFIED YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE CURRENT STATUS QUO TO UNDERSTAND THE JOKES TO BEGIN WITH, SO
INSTEAD, THE PREREQUISITE FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND TO COME TO ALL OF YOUR CAMPAIGN IS BY MAKING ALL OF
THESE MEMES.
- EVEN IF IT’S BEING THAT OVERSIMPLIFIED IT ALSO STILL OK BECAUSE AT LEAST SOCIETY KNOWS SOMETHING, THE
COMPARATIVE THAT YOU GET UNDER THEIR SIDE OF THE HOUSE IS THAT SOCIETY DOESN’T KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL.
- THEY WILL KNOW A LOT OF STUFFS BECAUSE U CAN NOT LAUGH AT THE SAME JOKE TWICE
- THERE WILL BE A LOT OF PEOPLE , AND NOT ALL OF THEM ARE BAD
- THERE IS POWER OF CLARIFICATION
 WHY WOULD PEOPLE SPEND THAT MUCH
EFFORT?

FOMO : FEAR OF MISSING OUT

WITH THE CURRENT WORLD HEAVILY
INTERTWINED WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, LOTS OF
PEOPLE ESPECIALLY YOUNGSTERS EXPERIENCE
FOMO
 AS A RESULT :

• POLITICAL PARTICIPATION
BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE AWARE OF POLITICAL SITUATION, MOST LIKELY THEY ARE
MORE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE BECAUSE NOW THEY UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE
OF THEIR PARTICIPATION
- THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR VOTES ARE NECESSARY TO PREVENT GREATER EVIL
TO TAKE IN POWER
- THEY WILL NOT EASILY FOLLOW FALSE PROPAGANDA THAT BEING SPREA DBECAUSE
THEY KNOW THE TRUTH
