    Relationship between media exposure and attitude of Iloilo City Junior High School students towards indigenous peoples
    Amon, Abigail; Garzon, Ma. Mercedes (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    This research discusses the relationship between media exposure and the attitude of selected Iloilo City public junior high school students towards the indigenous peoples. Three hundred junior high school students from Bo. Obrero National High School, Iloilo City National High School, Mandurriao National High School, Ramon Avanceña National High School, and SPED - Integrated School for Exceptional Children served as respondents to a five-part questionnaire that included demographics, exposure to media and IPs, attitude, additional questions regarding the relationship between their media exposure and their attitude towards IPs, and the information they received and wished to receive from media. The researchers found that students were most exposed to online media and that they had low exposure to mediated content on indigenous peoples on all media platforms. It was concluded that respondents had an overall positive attitude towards indigenous peoples. Moreover, both the media industry and the educational system should be more responsible in supporting the IPs through wider media coverage and introduction to more media platforms.

    Anigan, Ma. Skamella P.; Sy, Alahna Sam C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    The global rise of online advertising has consequently empowered blogging. In the Philippines, fashion bloggers are considered high-authority when it comes to trends as they serve as opinion leaders to their readers. This study looked into the common characteristic of fashion blog post elements. Through the analytical lens of the Multimodality theory, the blog contents of four high-ranking bloggers were content-analyzed. Results of the study showed that the characteristics shared by the bloggers are: emphasis on product size, high tonal contrast, balanced color contrast, placement in vertical center; medium long and medium shot framing; monoglossic, appreciative, emotional, judgmental, positively forceful, and sharply focused linguistic approach; and informal text.
