Before we proceed to our discussions for
today, let us have a little energizer. I
need one volunteer to come here in front.
 Yes, ma’am!
Are you familiar with the game called
“charades”?

So this is how it works! I will give a

word to the student in front and he/she
will act it out and no speaking allowed.

ready! word)

(After the game…)

visualize and interpret what we see that
others do. Such actions when put into
ideas became basic materials in
journalism.

2. Discussion
To better understand what journalism is, (Student read the definition)
please read the definition. Journalism is the collection, preparation and
distribution of news and related commentary
and feature materials through such print and
electronic media. The word “journal” comes
from the Latin word “diurnal” which means
“daily”. In ancient Rome, short bulletins of
battles, fires and elections compiled by
government officials were posted up in public
places. These were called “acta diurnal” which
meant “daily events”

Thank you!

As regards to its etymology, it means

journalism is a daily register of one’s
activities.

By that definition, can you give me your Ma’am if it is a daily register of one’s
own idea about of journalism? activities, does it mean updating our own
social media accounts is an example of
journalism?

Yes, that is right!

information, whether through sounds,
pictures and words.

Other than updating our social media

magazines? Not yet ma’am.

through our cellphones.

comfortable with.

That is right! Television channels offers

regular news broadcasts such as TV
Patrol and 24 Oras is an example of
journalism.

Newspapers, magazines, television, radio

journalism may appear.

connection.

Yes, that is a good point!

Nowadays, communication and

set it aside?

Why? Because there are people most especially in

rural areas where news and information are
 being publicize through physically printed
papers.

Very well said! There are areas that

incapable of accessing information
through technology but still need to be
informed.

These make the scope of journalism to be

very broad indeed, as almost every form
of media these days can be used as an
expression of opinion or conduit of
information.
