Lesson

1 Media and Information Sources

In this module the learners demonstrate an understanding of the values and
differences of the sources of media and information. The learners shall be to examine the
reliability, accuracy, value, authority, and timeliness of the different sources of media and
information.

In our daily life we encounter different information like news from different television
channels, news from social media where a big source of information came from around the
world. These information are widely disseminated by different media as discussed from the
previous module. How reliable? Accurate? are these information? Does the information
timely? Are there any Bias? This module will help us examine the different media and
information sources.

Citizens require new competencies(knowledge, skills and attitudes) in order to

participate in and contribute to society. An understanding of these terms is necessary before
engaging and must first of all begin with a clear comprehension of the concept of
information. By that, getting credible and reliable from a reputable source takes a lot of
considerations.

This lesson will give us the idea of how important is indigenous media and other
sources of information and the skills in evaluating information.

 What is It

Introduction to Media and Information Sources

Information can come from virtually anywhere- media, blogs, personal experiences,
books and magazine articles, expert, opinions, encyclopedias, and web pages- and the type
of information you need will change depending on the question you are trying to answer.

But what was the basis for your information source?

Information Source
An information source is a source of information for somebody, example anything
that might informs a person about something on providing knowledge to somebody.
Information sources may be observations, people speeches, documents, pictures,
organizations,etc. Such sources includes: the internet, newspapers, journals, transcripts
from radio or TV programme, leaflets,photographs and other artifacts(man-made objects).

Primary sources are original materials such as artifacts, documents, recordings and
other sources of information that were produced during a particular period in history. It is
considered as first hand accounts.

Secondary Sources are documents made after an event has taken place. It gives
second hand accounts about a particular event, person, or information

Sources of Media and Information

5
A. Indigenous Media
Indigenous media may be defined as forms of media expression conceptualized,
produced, and circulated by indigenous people around the globe as vehicles for
communication including cultural preservation cultural and artistic expression, political self-
determination and cultural sovereignty.

Indigenous media are owned, controlled and managed by indigenous peoples in

order for them to develop and produce culturally appropriate information in the languages
understood by the community by utilizing indigenous materials and resources, reflecting
community needs and interest, visions and aspirations, and independent from vested
interest groups.(Indigenous Media, Freedom of expression and right to
information:ASEANScenario, 2014).

Indigenous knowledge is unique to a specific culture or society; most often it is not

written down.

Indigenous communication is the transmission of information through local channels

or forms. It is a means by which culture is preserved, handed down, and adapted.

Indigenous media and information are original information created by a local group
of people. This also refers to content about indigenous peoples that may be distributed
through dominant forms of media or through forms of communication unique to their people
group.

Indigenous media are channels for change, education, and development because of
its direct access to local channels. Ignoring indigenous media and information can result in
development and education programs that are irrelevant and ineffective.

Forms of indigenous media and their local examples:

a. Folk or traditional media

b. Gatherings and social organizations

c. Direct observation

d. Records - may be written, carved, or oral

e. Oral instruction

6
 Characteristics of Indigenous Media:

 This is an oral tradition of communication.

 It stores information in memories

 Information exchange is face-to-face

 Information are contain within the border of the community

Importance of Indigenous media and information

Popular media cannot reach some rural areas. While print, broadcast, and new
media have a wide reach, there are still areas that these forms of media have not reached.

Indigenous media and information are highly credible because they are near the
source and are seldom circulated for profit.

B. Library
Library is a place to read any published materials like books, etc. Libraries are
often classified in four groups, namely: academic, public, school and special. These libraries
may be either digital or physical in form.

Types of Library

 Academic library is a library that is attached to a higher education institution and

serves two complementary purposes: to support the curriculum and to support the
research of the university faculty and students.

 A private library is a library that is accessible by the general public and is usually
funded from public sources such as taxes and it is operated by librarians.

 A school library is a library within a school where students, staff, and often, parents
of a public or private school have access to a variety of resources.

 Special library is a library that provides specialized information resources on a

particular subject, serves a specialized and limited clientele, and delivers
specialized services to that clientele.

Characteristic of Libraries in terms of reliability, accuracy and value

Libraries of published books are considered highly reliable, accurate and valuable.
Books and documents from dominant sources are often peer reviewed.

7
 There are certain skills in accessing information from libraries due to the wealth of
information in a library, it is important to know the following:

 The access tool to use

 How the information being accessed may be classified

 The depth of details required- some library provide only an abstract of the topic

 More detailed information might require membership or some conformity to set rules of
the source (databases).

C. Internet

This is a global network providing a variety of information and communication

facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols.
It has a wide variety of information but must evaluate websites carefully.

It is a vast chain of computer networks in which anyone who has access to a

computer with internet connection can publish their documents. All of these networks are
linked together via digital technology. Thus, the internet allows transmission of a variety of
file types, both written and non-written multimedia.

Source of Information (Internet)

1. Popular Publications. Most of what rules in print and non-print media are popular
publications with the general public as its target audience. Included under this category
are journalistic articles, feature articles, manuals, flyer, fact sheets, and even blogs by
netizen. Reporters, journalists, or anyone for that matter, can publish publications. We
turn to popular publications to have a pulse of popular opinion, or to get entertained, or
to simply gain information regarding a popular subject.

2. Trade Publications. Trade publications combine popular appeal and specialized

knowledge it also needs to attract the non-specialists who are the potential consumers
or users of a particular product.

3. Scholarly Publications. These are well researched articles found mostly in

academic journals and published for the specialists of a specific field. The language is
very technical because it is geared toward the consumption of specialists, scholars, and
those seeking research-based information on a particular area of knowledge such as the
social sciences, the natural sciences, and the arts and humanities.

Information found on the Internet may be quite varied in form and content. Thus, it is
more difficult to determine its reliability and accuracy. Accessing information on the Internet

8
is easy, but requires more discipline to check and validate. Factual and fictitious data are
often merged together. Sources always have to be validated.

The internet has search engine which is a system for searching the information
available on the web. The URL or Uniform Resource Locator helps you find information fast
and easy.

Who puts information on the Internet?

Keep in mind that almost anyone can publish anything they wish on the internet. It is
often difficult to determine authorship of web sources, and even if the author is listed, he or
she may not always represent him or herself honestly. Because information available on the
internet is not regulated for quality and accuracy; therefore it is particularly important for the
individual internet user to evaluate the resource of information.

Sites you may visit on the internet

There are many kinds of internet sites that you might find during the course of a
search-sites created by different people or organizations with different objectives. The three-
letter code presented by a dot (.), simply known as the domain, gives you a fairly good idea
of who is publishing the internet site.

Domain Names and their Equivalent

9
D.Other Sources of Media and Information

 Books - are in depth, detailed coverage of a topic and background

information. Books are actually one of the best sources of information. One of
the main reasons why they are considered as top sources of knowledge is
because they provide unlimited facts to the readers.

 Articles

 Scholarly Journals are up to date and highly specific for scholars and
researchers.

 Trade Publications targeted towards professionals in a discipline or industry.

 Magazines is a broad summary of issues for a general audience

 Newspapers - are up to date, national and regional information for a general audience.

Evaluating Information Sources

• Reliability of information - Information is said to be reliable if it can be verified and

evaluated. Others refer to the trustworthiness of the source in evaluating the reliability of
information.

Reliable sources have this:

ISSN(International Standard Serial Number) is an eight digit serial number used to

uniquely identify a serial publication, such as magazine.

ISBN registration(International Standard Book Number) is a numeric commercial

book identifier which is intended to be unique. The ISBN identifies the registrant as well as
the specific title, edition and format. ISSN or ISBN registration ensures that standards were
followed in producing these materials.

• Accuracy of information - Accuracy refers to the closeness of the report to the actual
data. Measurement of accuracy varies, depending on the type of information being
evaluated. Forecasts are said to be accurate if the report is similar to the actual data.
Financial information is considered accurate if the values are correct, properly classified, and
presented

10
• Value of information - Information is said to be of value if it aids the user in making or
improving decisions.

• Authority of the source - Much of the information we gather daily do not come from a
primary source but are passed on through secondary sources such as writers, reporters, and
the like. Sources with an established expertise on the subject matter are considered as
having sound authority on the subject.

• Timeliness - Reliability, accuracy, and value of information may vary based on the time it
was produced or acquired. While a piece of information may have been found accurate,
reliable, and valuable during the time it was produced, it may become irrelevant and
inaccurate with the passing of time (thus making it less valuable). Other information may be
timeless, proven to be the same in reliability, accuracy, and value throughout history.

Skills in Determining the Reliability of Information

 Check the author. The author’s willingness to be identified is a good indication of

reliability.

 Check the date of publication or of update. While the information may be true, it may
not be reliable if it is outdated and may have lost relevance.

 Check for citations. Reliable authors have the discipline of citing sources of their
information.

 Check the domain or owner of the site or page. The domains .edu and .gov are
reserved for academic institutions and the government respectively. Information from
such sites are presented with caution and are usually well-grounded. Site owners may
have an agenda that affects the manner by which information is presented.

 Check the site design and the writing style. Credible sources take time to make their
information accessible and easy to comprehend.

Skills in Determining Accurate Information

 Look for facts.

 Cross-reference with other sources to check for consistency.

 Determine the reason for writing and publishing the information. Check if the author is
objective or leaning heavily on a certain point of view.

 Check for advertising. Advertisers may use related information to market their product

11
Alternative Media

These include social media, blogs, and flash mob performances. These alternative
forms provide greater freedom and power to ordinary individuals and are a quicker way of
distributing information. The downside is that a lot of the information being passed around is
biased and inaccurate.
