No.12 Media Literacy:''Mobilizing the Millennials as Society Responsible Prosumer"

Last Wednesday,November 25,2015 we have attended a seminar together with my bocksmates,about media literacy entitled:Media Literacy "Mobilizing the Mellenials as Society Responsible Prosumers.Andwe were privilegde to be a ableto listen to notable person from the pretegious GMA network.The speakers are  First is Miss Edmallyne Remillano Head writer,state of the Nation with Jessia Soho,  Secreary, Talent Association of GMA network.second is miss Jan Meynard Nualla Program producer,Global Conversations on CNN Plippines Affliation,Talent association of GMA Network(TAG)Socaity of Asian Journalist (SAJ).and the last speaker is Miss Lian Nami Buan Association Producer for Segment,state of the Nation with Jessica Soho, Association Editor,Subselfie com Affliation,Talent Association of GMA

there were a lot of important things that were raised and discussed during the simenar,and even after the event was over.I am still left thinking and reflection about the issues that were discussed the seminar.In this digital age knowledge.Now the question is ''is media being responsible about the tremendous task that it has to perform for the public?" "how accurate are are the information that the different media are giving us?''
These question could not be easily answered,but I would lile to also point out that misinformation could not solely be blamed on the media,for the audience,also plays an inportant role in information consumption.What do the audience consider as important and irrelevant information?

Lets us take for example the twitter-phenomenon "aldud".Now I would like to make clear that i have nothing against the said program,but what concerns me (and you should be too)si the amount of publicity and attention that its getting from the midea consumers.There is nothing wrong with admiring the program,after all it is a real good one,but i do believe that there are far more important and urgent things to focus on social media than that.Isseus like the Syria crisis for example.How many more tweets about aldub is there than tweets about Syria? Doesn't this phononenon raise concerns about human being in general value more?

Its is true that the people who conctrols the media media should be careful,responsible,and accountable  for what they feed thier audience,but the audience in turn should also be careful,responsible and accountable for discerning what information to digest.
Media could be a very helpful thing if utilized corectly,but as with everything,it could also be harmful if misused.
So that end of the day,it all boils down to the question "Could we be trusted with all the digital and technological advancements that we have at our disposal"
