    The document discusses the Manila Hostage Taking Crisis of 2010 and lessons for media coverage of crisis situations. It notes that the media broadcast live footage including of the hijacker's brother's arrest, spread incorrect information, and were harsh toward the hijacker, failing to properly negotiate. If such a crisis occurred now, media social platforms could face fines or job losses for irresponsible coverage endangering lives. As a future practitioner, the author will double-check facts, consider those involved's feelings, coordinate with authorities, and avoid harm or false reports.

    Crime and Crisis Situations

    1. Research on what happened with the Manila Hostage Taking Crisis that happened in 2010.

    I remember watching this as akid way back in 2010, Manila Hostage Taking Crisis
    happened in Quirino Grandstand at Manila where a fired police hijacked a tourist bus,
    leading to the tourist’s death including the hijacker himself.

    2. Based on what you've researched, what were the specific mistakes that the media
    committed?

    The media messed up by showing everything live including the harassment of the
    hijacker’s brother on his arrest, spreading wrong info, and being harsh to the hijacker
    knowing that he have the hostages where in the first place, they need to negotiate with the
    suspect.

    3. If the Manila Hostage Taking Crisis happened during this time, what possible sanctions
    could the media face?

    If it happened now, media on social platforms could get into trouble – fines or even
    losing their jobs for not being careful with what they do during a hostage taking crisis.

    4. As a future media practitioner, what will you do to ensure you do not commit the mistakes
    in the coverage they did in the past?

    I'd double-check stuff before sharing because I never forget what I learned on Media
    Information Literacy, be mindful of the feelings of those involved, negotiate with
    authorities, and always keep in mind the do's and don'ts to avoid causing harm or
    spreading false information.
