Discussion:
COMMUNICATION AND THE MEDIA
Communication is a process of sharing ideas and opinions about issues, people, events, and places between or among
persons through various channels with the intent to gain common understanding.
On the other hand, media are the communication outlets or tools used to restore and deliver information or data. It may be
classified into traditional and new media. Traditional media include the mass media such as newspapers, radio, and
television while the new media include computers, mobile phones, and other digital gadgets.
The Process of Communication
There are at least five elements that characterize the communication process:
 The interactors (the sender and the recipient or receiver of the message)
 The message or information
 The medium
 The feedback or reaction, and
 The communication environment

DAY 2
Continuation

Communication Environment
 o The interactors are both the senders and receiver of the message, which may include a person-to-person or a
person-to-group of communication.
o The message is the information or the verbal and nonverbal message being conveyed to another person or a group
of people.
o The medium is the channel through the message is coursed. (Medium may include gadgets and technology.)
o The feedback or reaction is the response to a message or behavior.
o The communication environment is the context in which the communication takes place.

Communication requires that interactors understand the meanings of their messages coursed through a medium to
create some feedback or reaction between or among themselves in a given context. For example, the process may involve
a father and his daughter (interactors) talking over phone (medium) about a television program (message) that the
daughter is watching. The daughter dislikes the violence shown on the program that she asks her father what she can do as
a member of audience. The father tells his daughter that she can write to the program producer to tone down the violence
or she can easily switch television channels and refrain from watching the program (feedback or reaction). The daughter
realizes that she has the power as a member of an audience and can always take action on media issues especially when
done more responsibly and ethically, and with the support of her parent (communication environment).
In the given example, the interactors are the father and daughter, the medium is the phone, the message is about
the television program, the father advises his daughter on what she can do to her concern about the violence being shown
on the program is the feedback, the communication environment is supportive since the father guides his daughter about
her advocacy against violence on television.

Task 2. Fake News

Guide Questions:
1. Do you believe that these
news items are true?
2. How do you know they are

My Answer: and information affect
