Rainy Day Alternative

Hi class,
Since we cannot afford to keep missing class because of the rains, I've decided that we can hold class discussions online via this blog. For August 11, we have four reporters due:

1.  "The Myth of the Muslim Viewpoint" and Three on the press and Mindanao," Philippine Journalism Review, Feb. 2002 
Lead discussant: RAYMOND

2. "Media Justice and the 99% Movement” (Dec. 2011) FAIR.org

Lead discussant: FRANCIS

3. Elder, David et al (2002) Establishing Constitutional Malice for Defamation and Privacy in the Use of Hidden Cameras.

Lead discussant: _KAT

4. Mangahas, Malou. Excess of freedom, impunity; Deficit of ethics, self-criticism.PCIJ blog, 2011.

 Lead discussant: PING

What we will do

step 1 for reporters:

Instead of an oral reportage by the abovementioned students, you are now required to post the reportage in one of the following forms;

a. essay that summarizes the article and your value-added data/information/Philippine scene

b. post a powerpoint in "pdf" format that reflects the same as "a"

step 2 for the rest of the class:

Since this is a BLOG, the rest of the class will add your COMMENTs to the reporters summary & add-ons. There will be at least two COMMENTS required for each student,

1) comment on main report

2) comment on comment of a classmate

There will be no restrictions with regards length...pero sana may depth...since this is written, I expect a mature exchange of views, i.e. walang bastos. 

See you ONLINE ;-)
