• Communication is said to be dynamic in nature.
• A communicator must have a full understanding of the
important role of each element in the communication.
• To be precise, the development of information and the
selection of medium are the two basic considerations of
a communicator in achieving effective communication.
The Agenda
At the end of the lesson, the learners should be able to:
• Describe how communication is affected by media and information
• Identify the similarities and differences of media literacy, information literacy, and
technology literacy
• Editorialize the value of being a media and information literate individual
• Identify characteristics and describe responsible uses and competent producers of
media and information

The Concepts and
Nature of
Communication
 Communication is an essential skill that a man should enrich.
Through communications, people can express their thoughts,
positions and feelings; individuals can share ideas and views.

 Communication is simply the process of sharing messages


between human beings.
Types of Communication
A. According to channels used:
1. Verbal Communication
• Verbal communication refers to the form of communication in which message is
transmitted verbally; communication is done by word of mouth and a piece of writing
• Verbal Communication can be divided into two: oral communication and written
communication.
• Oral Communication – Spoken words are used. It includes face-to-face conversations,
speech, telephonic conversation, video, radio, television. In oral communication,
communication is influenced by pitch, volume, speed and clarity of speaking.
• Written Communication - A written message
may be printed or hand written. In written
communication, message can be transmitted
via email, letter, report, memo etc. The
Written communication
message, in written information is influenced
is the most common by the vocabulary and grammar used, writing
form of communication style, precision and clarity of the language
being used in business.
So, it is considered core used.
among business skills.
• Memos, reports, bulletins, job description,
employee manuals and electronic mail are
used for internal communication. E-mail,
Internet Web sites, letters, proposals,
telegrams, faxes, postcards, contracts,
advertisements, brochures are used for
external environment.
Non-verbal Communication
Nonverbal communication is the sending or receiving of wordless
messages. We can say that communication other than oral and written,
such as gesture, body language, posture, the tone of voice or facial
expressions, is called nonverbal communication. Nonverbal
communication is all about the body of language of the speaker.

Nonverbal communication has the following three elements:


1. Appearance – One’s appearance in nonverbal communication plays a significant
role in conveying the message. When someone speaks, the way he or she looks can
determine how a message will be received.
2. Body Language – The way one acts as he or she speaks, whether he’s fidgeting or
standing stolidly, the receiver adds that in the block of information to process.
3. Sounds – Tone, pace and volume are considered in understanding the true
meaning of what someone is saying.
Types of communication Based on Purpose and Style
1. Formal communication – mostly takes place in
professional settings. This is the type of communication
practiced in corporate meetings, conferences, academic
seminars, political sessions and juridical proceedings.
Due to formal nature, there is a great emphasis on
observing proper grammar and correct pronunciation.
Slang and foul language are strongly discouraged.
2. Informal Communication – most commonly used form
of communication. It takes place in our daily interactions
with one another. Simply put, informal communication is
casual talk.
The Communication Process
The idea of communication as information processing was firmly established by
Claude Shannon, Bell telephone company research scientist who developed a
mathematical theory of signal transmission. His theory focused on solving technical
problems with sound transfer instead of the meaning of a message or its effect on
the listener.

What is LITERACY?
•the ability to read and write
•knowledge of a particular subject,
or a particular type of knowledge
The physical objects used to communicate
with, or the mass communication through
physical objects such as radio, television,
computers, film, etc. It also refers to any
physical object used to communicate
messages.
What is
INFORMATION?
Information can be
broadly defined as
data, knowledge, or
instructions through
signals or symbols.
What is MEDIA
LITERACY?

The National Association for


Media Literacy Education
(NAMLE USA) defines
Media Literacy as the ability
to access, analyse, evaluate
and communicate information
in a variety of forms,
including print and non-print
Is INFORMATION
LITERACY?
The Association of College and Research Libraries
defined information literacy as a set of abilities
requiring individuals to “recognize when information
is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and
use the needed information effectively.”
In a time when technological
advancements have brought an ever
growing amount of information,
people are drowning with way too
much data. While the abundance of
information may have many
advantages, verifying authenticity,
validity, and reliability, remains a
problem for all. Information literacy
helps solve that.
is Technology Literacy?
• The New York State Education Department (NYSED) defines technology
literacy as the understanding of the concepts behind computing
equipment, network connectivity, and application software;
• the skills to responsibly use appropriate technology to access, synthesize,
evaluate, communicate, and create information to solve problems and
improve learning in all subject areas;
• and the ability to acquire new knowledge for on-going and lifelong
learning in the 21st century global workplace.
is Media and Information Literacy?
•The essential skills and competencies that allow
individuals to engage with media and other
information providers effectively, as well as
develop critical thinking and life-long learning
skills to socialize and become active citizens.
Individuals can be benefited in
being a media and information
literate. Through media and
information literacy, individuals
can attain the following:
1. Significant improvement in
the quality of life
2. Greater political participation
3. Improved learning
environment
The Role of Media
and Information in
Effective
Communication
1. It makes the world a smaller place
• Brought people from different locations, background,
culture and race together.
• Dating websites
• Communication between two parties from the other side of
the world
• Created bridges between countries
2. It makes communication convenient
• With the existence of email and various messaging sites
and apps, communication has become faster and easier.
3. It shapes public opinion
• For example, a person who is already thinking about voting
for Miriam Santiago suddenly switch to Duterte, if he or
she hears that the latter is leading in polls.
The Media and Information Producers and
Users
• Various headhunter websites describe Media
Producers, as someone who oversees projects
(e.g. films, TV shows) from conception to
completion and may also be involved in the
marketing and distribution processes.
• In recent years, however, media producers
now include those who contribute intellectual
or creative content in both the traditional
media platforms (print, radio and TV) and
new media (internet).
• Media users refer to the audience or
consumers of media. They are the receivers of
information disseminated by media producers.
Producers and users of media
and information may have the
following purpose:
1.To inform
2.To educate
3.To entertain
4.To advocate
5.To promote business
6.To increase network
Terms and Definitions
PREFERENCE
• The selecting of someone or something over another
or others.
HABIT
• A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior
that is acquired through frequent repetition.

change and propagates
development for the betterment
of the people and the
communities.

The Concepts of Mass Media
and Media Demassification

Mass Media – refer to channels of


communication that involve
transmitting information in some
way, shape or form to large numbers
of people. Traditionally, the mass
media has been differential from
other types of communication in
terms of four essential
characteristics.
Mass Media is only possible Deals with broadcasting
through technology. information to the masses
simultaneously

Technology Scale

Mass
media
Impersonal, lacking
immediacy, and one way

Distance Commodity
Due to its massive scale and technological
equipment it requires, mass media is an
expensive type of communication.
Media Demassification

Demassification is derived from the word


demassify which means to divide or breakup (a
social or political unit) into its component parts.

Unlike mass media communication where the


target is everyone, demassifcation divides the
masses into segments before choosing which
segments to target. In specifically determining
the target market, media demassification can
tailor fit their message and delivery according
to their target market and achieve the intended
purpose.
The Evolution of Media
The oldest
known figurative painting,
a depiction of a bull, was
discovered in the Lubang
Jeriji Saléh cave dated as
over 40,000 years old.
Pre-Industrial Age (Before 1700s)

Several discoveries of cave art around the world have proven that
even at a time when no known civilizations existed, the media
have been a part of man’s life. Despite their lack of speech during
those days, cavemen found a means to convey their thoughts.
Although different from our methods, they have the same reasons
we do for using the media.

After the Stone Age, ancient civilizations began to emerge along


with a certain form of speech. The development of language made
record keeping among civilizations possible. This is where the
ancient forms of writing came into the picture.
The Hieroglyphic Script of
the ancient Egyptian
civilization. Developed
round 32000 BCE.
Sumerians developed
another notable ancient
form of writing around
5000 BCE called the
cuneiform.
These earliest scripts were
initially inscribed on wet clay
with a reed implement. Many
believe that the Egyptians
developed the earliest paper
through an abundant reed
found along the Nile River.
History, however, credits the
Han dynasty for the invention
of paper.
Industrial Age (1700s-1930s) -
People used the power of steam,
developed machine tools,
established iron production, and the
manufacturing of various products
(including books through the
printing press).
Motion picture with sound
Electronic Age (1930s-1980s) - The
invention of the transistor ushered in
the electronic age. People harnessed
the power of transistors that led to the
transistor radio, electronic circuits, and
the early computers. In this age, long
distance communication became more
efficient.
Information Age (1900s-2000s) - The
Internet paved the way for faster
communication and the creation of the
social network. People advanced the use of
microelectronics with the invention of
personal computers, mobile devices, and
wearable technology. Moreover, voice,
image, sound and data are digitalized. We
are now living in the information age.

The Information Needs
Information Today INC defines information need as the motivation
people think and feel to seek information. It is the reason why people go
out of their way to find answers to their questions, or solutions to their
problems.
Since it is such a broad subject, information needs can be further divided
in two, demands and wants according to the University of Washington.

DEMAND
S
WANTS
INFORMATIO
N NEEDS
What is information demands
and information wants?
Information demands refer to the
requirement of information while
information wants deals with the
desire to have information.
.
• According to the University of Copenhagen College of
Information Science, information needs may be prompted
by educational, research, professional, cultural, personal, or
recreational activities. Once the purpose of the need is
recognized, identifying when information is needed become
easier.

• Meltzer (1971) said that communication of information


requires an understanding of the data. Transferring
information from one party to another cannot be considered
communication of information if not understood. This calls
the need for proper evaluation of data
The Ethical Use of Information
The scholars define ethics as the branch of philosophy that
involves systematizing, defending, and recommending
concepts of right and wrong conduct.
While ethics may vary depending on a number of factors, its
core remains the same, mankind’s concept of right and wrong.

The Convergence of Media in the Age of Information
The age of information has posed threats to the traditional media
platforms (print, radio and TV). In a time when the Internet has
become the media platform of choice for many, the traditional
have expanded their horizons to keep up with the times. They
have moved outside their original medium format and explored
other available media technologies. The phenomenon is called
the convergence of media.
• Digital print media
• Teleradio
• Stream Media
Mass Media and Social Media
Mass Media platforms sought to take advantage of these
numbers and bring their content to a wider audience. As
such, most media companies in existence today, regardless

The Media and
Information
Sources
“To know the integrity of the information is to know its
source.”
The Media as information source
One of the primary roles media plays is to inform. From news to
current affairs to lifestyle subjects, weather reports to celebrity updates,
educational subjects to recreational details and more, the wide array of
data the media offers makes it an invaluable source of information.

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, according to Oxford
bibliographies.
It is a reflection of indigenous communities and has been used as
a powerful social movement catalyst all over the world.
Indigenous media seeks to spark activism, promote advocacy, be
a source of empowerment, and encourage community building
among indigents.

The community media and the indigenous people


Community media is an independent, civil society based media
that operate for social benefit and not for profit according to
UNESCO. As the term implies community media is run by a
community, and for a community. Community in this context can
be geographical or a community of people with the same
interests.
Social movements and community based organizations
make use of community media for a number of reasons:
1. It serves the community by providing access to
information.
2. It also gives the community a platform for raising their
concerns and aids in solving them.
3. Community media also provides a medium for company
discussions.
4. It makes public decision making possible through
information and knowledge sharing among the members
of the community.
Community media is a popular alternative to commercial
media among minority groups like the indigenous
community. What makes community media even more
compelling to the marginalized is the fact that it is basically a
reflection of their community. Here, their traditions are
observed and their language is spoken. Community media
ensures that their culture is preserved without sacrificing
development.

Examples of Indigenous media


1. Ethnographic Films
2. Aboriginal Media
Traditional media as primary source of information
1. Traditional media – print, radio, and television – was initially
invented as a means of mass communication with the purpose to
inform.
• Print can be traced back to ancient record keeping intended to
teach the next generations about their history and practices.
• Radio was developed to break the barrier of distance that hinders
the travel of information from one place to another.
• Television, incorporated educational materials in their early
programming.
Decades after their birth, traditional media still remain as a primary
source of information.
The library as source of information
Library – A place where books, magazines and other
materials (such as videos and musical recordings) are
available for people to use or borrow.

Studies indicate that there has been a decline in the


usage of libraries. In the United States alone, Pew
Research Center shows an annual decrease in the
number of people who have visited the library aged 16
and up from 2012-2015.
The Internet as source of information
Key aspects of Internet as a source of information:
1. Abundance
2. Availability
3. Accessibility

As of 2019, Internet Live Stats has reported over a billion of registered


websites.

By allowing the free flow of information from different sources, the


Internet has made information available to all.

The existence of wireless connections and mobile gadgets made access to


The Internet easier and ever present.

Four Types of IP Protection for Businesses
1. Patents
A patent grants property rights on an invention, allowing
the patent holder to exclude others from making, selling,
or using the invention. Inventions allow many businesses
to be successful because they develop new or better
processes or products that offer competitive advantage on
the marketplace. You get a patent by filing a patent
application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
(USPTO).
Types of Patent:
1. A utility patent is the most common type, covering
any process, machine, article of manufacture, or
composition of matter, or any new and useful
improvements thereof.
2. A design patent covers any new, original,
and ornamental design for an article of manufacture
3. A plant patent covers any new variety of asexually
produced plant.
2. Trademarks
A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or
design that distinguishes the source of
products (trademarks) or services (service
marks) of one business from its
competitors. In order to qualify for patent
protection, the mark must be distinctive.
For example, the Nike "swoosh" design
identifies athletic footware made by Nike.
3. Trade Secrets
A trade secret is a formula, process, device, or other
business information that companies keep private to
give them a business advantage over their
competitors. Examples of trade secrets include:
• Soda formulas
• Customer lists
• Survey results
• Computer algorithms
4. Copyright
A legal device that gives the
creator of a literary, artistic,
musical, and other creative works
the sole right to publish and sell
that work.
Remember:
The validity period of a
photographic work’s copyright
based on the Republic Act 8293 (or
the Intellectual Property Code of
the Philippines) is lifetime of the
photographer.
Remember:
RA 10175 addresses issues
related to copyright in
relation to actions of
government and private
sectors.
