    Endangered: An investigative documentary on the factors that led to journalist assaults in the Philippines
    Ardillos, Faith; Llanes, Mae Gladys; Ventar, Jeremae (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2016-05)
    This qualitative study was conducted to identify and investigate the factors that led to journalist assaults in the Philippines and to present the result of the investigation through a creative output in a form of an investigative documentary. The objectives of the study are answered though interviews with two long-serving journalists and six experts who have knowledge about journalist assaults, media laws and policies, and the Philippine media landscape. Results of this study showed that as journalists function as watchdogs of the government and of the society, the issues they covered made them as primary target of assaults. Since Philippines is a democratic country, these reported assaults pose threats to freedom of the press and of expression. The continuous cases of assaults create a chilling effect to some who eventually resort to self-censorship but these assaults also affect some journalists to be more critical and vigilant in reporting about the significant issues in the society like graft and corruption.

    Trends in the work profession of BABC graduates, SY 2001-2004
    Acosta, Meryll Joyce; Rojo, Rea Ann; Yulo, Novy Katherene (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-10)
    This study was conducted to find out the trends or patterns in the work profession of BA Broadcast Communication graduates from school years 2001-2002, 2002-2003, and 2003-2004 using sex and major field as variables. It also aims to find out what other jobs BABC graduates have, what factors affected them, and how satisfied are they with their jobs. This study was conducted during the first semester of the school year 2004-2005. Respondents chosen for this study were 140 graduates of BABC from school years 2001-2004. However, only 39 were able to reply. The locale of the study includes various places in the Philippines, mostly Metro Manila, Iloilo City, and Iloilo Province. The research design used in this study is descriptive. Results of the study show that majority of BABC graduates do not end up in the media. Those who were able to get into broadcast-related jobs do not plan to stay for good in their present jobs. On the other hand, those who did not get into broadcast-related jobs plan to pursue these kinds of jobs. The study also shows that most BABC graduates within the said school years are moderately satisfied with their present jobs.
