Item The practice of responsible journalism in the newscasting format of TV Patrol PanayBangud, Colen D.; Villacastin, Gretchen C.; Villanuvea, Froilene C. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2014-03)It is often a battle between public service and public interest that calls on the core standard of responsible journalism. TV Patrol Panay is a tabloid newscast format, a form of television programming that has a strong leaning towards sensationalizing news. This research, however, seeks to find a systematic pattern as to whether a tabloid news program, such as TV Patrol Panay, does practice responsible journalism, despite the common presumption about tabloid practices. A systematic quantitative content analysis was used to scrutinize the practice of responsible journalism in the tabloid newscasting of TV Patrol Panay. In the endeavour to measure the concentration of responsible journalism practice in TV Patrol Panay's tabloid newscasting, a quantitative content analysis was applied in the calculation of the news program’s violations against the Journalist's Code of Ethics. The same procedure was applied to the calculation of the news program's tendencies towards tabloid practices. The results were then given percentual readings and were qualitatively analyzed and discussed. Results reveal that TV Patrol Panay practices responsible journalism despite its tabloid news format. Nonetheless, its news program contains negative aspects of tabloid and follows the descriptive format of tabloid. TV Patrol Panay in tabloid newscasting format practices responsible journalism. Its news program contains negative aspects of tabloid and follows the descriptive format of tabloid. It can hereby be deduced that although the tabloid news program is associated with the turning down of high standards of journalism (Alotaibi, 2013), the results showed that not all news programs that are tabloid in format do not and refuse to bear with the high ethical standards of television journalism.Item The classification and regulation of AM Radio programsBalagosa, Sheena Marie K. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)The study "The Classification and Regulation of AM Radio Programs" provides us the reasons why there is a need to classify and reinforce regulation on AM radio programs based on the MTRCB guidelines, the KBP Code, and the opinion of Ilonggo radio listeners and broadcast practitioners. The study covered 12 barangays with 400 respondents and eight broadcast practitioners from four AM radio stations in Iloilo City. From the results of the study, we have found out that radio stations created program innovations that affected the listeners. There is a need to put classification in order to separate sensitive topics that are not suitable for all listeners, to protect children by knowing which programs they can listen to, to avoid hearing double meaning words, extremely violent stories and sensitive topics about sex. There is a need to reinforce regulation because of the failure to adhere to broadcast standards of some radio programs, KBP's leniency in the implementation of its rules and regulation and the effectiveness of self-regulation. Thus, we have the determined that there is a need to put classification and to reinforce regulation in AM radio programs to protect the moral values of Filipino radio listeners.Item Relationship between media exposure and attitude of Iloilo City Junior High School students towards indigenous peoplesAmon, 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.Item Text and context of the songs of Gloc9 (2003-2012)Alorro, Mary Joanne F.; Sevillano, Kristine Charisse B. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)This descriptive study was conducted to ascertain the text and context of the songs of Gloc9 from 2003-2012. Forty (40) songs with societal issues were determined, classified to which presidential term (Arroyo's or Aquino's) they were released and analyzed if they reflect the real Philippine setting at the given period. The results showed that many of the songs of Gloc9 did not exactly reflect the real-life setting of Filipinos under the two presidential eras they belonged thus as a medium, the songs created a Constructed Mediated Reality. However, songs that mentioned issues such as poverty, unemployment, abuse of power and drug abuse were reflective of period they were written. Nevertheless, rap song is a good medium not only for entertainment but also for information. It is one of the most effective medium to bring awareness to the public by presenting relevant societal issues in a rap music format. To further improve this study, future researchers should do a triangulated research method.Item Endangered: An investigative documentary on the factors that led to journalist assaults in the PhilippinesArdillos, 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.Item Physical characterization of aswang in Filipino filmsArcenio, Ariane G.; Perez, Trexie Jane A. (Division of of Humanities , College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)This study is a content analysis on the physical characterization of aswang in Filipino films. This study determined how the Filipino films characterized aswang. Descriptive research design was used in analyzing and tallying the physical characteristics of aswang in the Filipino concept and in the eight Filipino films. Interviews with film directors were also utilized for additional support of this study. The concept of aswang emerged because of the demonization of women especially the babaylans, by the Spanish priests in the history of the Philippines. It was found out that in both Filipino concept and Filipino films, there were differences on the physical characterization of aswang. Films used the concept of aswang to perform the role of media which is to entertain the audience.Item Level of acceptance of the portrayal of the gay man in SMART's "Friend request" commercial among Ilonggo media practitionersAlayon, Gico L.; Balatero, Neryl Jade S.
