Background Information for Learners
Do you like reading news from newspapers or magazines? Do you enjoy getting information from the
internet as a support to a certain topic? What is your favorite site where you get your news? Once you open
the internet and read a source of information, do you immediately trust the site you opened?
Researching a topic with support from print and non-print media is a skill that a 21st century student
must be able to master. With the rise of modern technologies, news coming from fake sources also flood the
internet gateways. Thus, answering through the module helps the learner becomes a responsible reader and
receiver of news whether in print or coming from the online world.

Did you enjoy the activity? You now have known that there are two types of media. These are the
PRINT and NON-PRINT MEDIA. I am sure that you are familiar with all those mentioned in the box. If not, you
can try to do some research about it later.
With the current setting, you have already seen, read or heard different issues about CoVid-19, ABS-
CBN shutdown, Anti-terrorism Bill, taxes for online sellers and a lot more. Thanks to these media outlets that
keep you informed! But have you tried asking yourself if the data that they are giving contains the truth? You,
being a responsible citizen must be able to choose your sources of information well. It has to come from a
trusted source. Surely, if you have the correct information, it will help you become a knowledgeable person and
not easily persuaded by other people’s opinion unless supported with factual evidences. Now, let us try to
know more about media by reading the following paragraphs:
Media (medium) refers to the communication outlets through which we made known to the public
different important data like news, music, movies, education, promotional messages and other data. It includes
physical and e-newspapers or online newspapers, magazines, billboards, radio, televisions, telephone and
internet.
PRINT MEDIA
Based on the Oxford Reference, print media is defined
as any written or pictorial form of communication produced
mechanically or electronically using printing, photocopying, or
digital methods from which multiple copies can be made
through automated processes.
This is the oldest type of media that we are still using
now. Examples of print media are newspapers, books,
journals, magazines and reports.
Newspapers are published daily or weekly and they
cover different topics from local and international news. They
provide information as well as entertainment.
Functions of newspapers:
a. As an information provider
b. As opinion builder
c. As entertainment provider
d. Advertising

Magazines are printed sheets that give information in various events or topics. Usually a magazine is
issued periodically, either annually, quarterly, monthly and weekly.
Functions of magazines:
a. Provides information
b. Provides entertainment
c. Facilitates advertising

NON-PRINT MEDIA
Non-print media is a means of informing the people
without using paper or print. This type has become very
common to all people both as a tool in the educational
process and as means of spreading information all throughout
the world.
Libraries have also become more focused with them
by turning some parts of the library as multimedia corner.
Have you been to a library?
TV and radio are examples of broadcast media.
Radio was invented about a century ago while the television
came up at the end of the 1940s.
One fast growing medium is the internet. It offers the
people content from all other forms of media. It is booming
amidst the expense of the other two mentioned above. Many people are depending on the internet when they
are working, shopping, learning and even spending leisure or pleasure time.
Mobile devices or cellphones with their applications give users access wherever and whenever. So
what is your favorite app? Is it Tiktok, Wordscapes or Mobile Legends?
Social Media is a combination of online telecommunication channels where netizens or citizens using
the internet interact, share content, and collaborate. Examples of this type for social networking are Facebook,
Instagram, wikis, blogging or video blogging (vlog), zoom conference and video calling. I bet you have a
Facebook account with thousands friends across the globe.
Podcast is a piece of audio-like story, interview or documentary. It can be downloaded from the
internet. It was created in the year 2014 and has become famous in the later part. People enjoy podcasting
and listening to it wherever they are.
Website is a presentation of images, videos or information posted on the internet. By searching a
certain keyword using the search engine, it will lead you to a certain website. Information posted on this site
varies from certain topics that offer other links, advertisements and other pop-out images. One must be able to
differentiate reliable sources from the unreliable.
 Video is a recording of motion picture or television program for playing through a television set.
Nowadays, video is popularly found in the internet like in Youtube, Facebook or Netflix. It can be downloaded
from Youtube and seen on Facebook. Netflix offers a variety of movies that you need to pay premium before
watching.

TYPES OF SOURCES

Primary Source is anything that presents direct evidence or information about the people, events, or
phenomena that you are looking for. The information that you are researching comes from the witnesses or
comes from the actual setting itself. Examples of this source are interviews, surveys, experiments, letters,
photographs, and newspapers.
Secondary Source is anything that describes, interprets, evaluates, or analyzes information out from
the original source. Some examples of this are books, articles, reviews, and essays.

Grammar Alert!
Asking questions is important in doing research. This serves as a guide in your activity later.

A sentence which asks for information is called an interrogative sentence or interrogatives. It is a sentence
that states a question and requires a response. An interrogative sentence ends with a question mark (?). Of course,
you already know this when you were in elementary.

 Yes/No questions are questions that can be answered with a yes or a no. Yes/No questions are usually
formed by inverting the Be-verbs. (is, are, am, was, were) and the subject.

Examples of Be-verbs

is are am was were

Examples:
Is Mindanao Gold Star Daily a newspaper in Cagayan de Oro City?

Are the people now going to use social platforms to know the news?

 Remember to use the verb is (was) when the subject is singular and the verb are (were) when the subject is
plural.

 Do, Does, and Did can also be used in this way when dealing with action verbs.

Examples:

Does the Covid-19 scare make them stop their print editions?

Do they still deliver news?

 Does is used when the subject is singular and Do when the subject is plural

 WH questions are interrogatives that begin with what, who, when, where, why, and how. These questions
require specific information.

Examples:

What made De Oro Daily stopped its print editions?

Where are they going to deliver news?
