A. Learning Competency
B. Learning Outcomes
Initial Task: Think of the past week. Record your use and interaction with media and information
providers (such as internet, social media, TV, radio, newspaper, etc.) How many hours do you
engage on each one? These do not have to be exact, you can estimate the number of hours you
spend each week. Complete the information log matrix below:
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In less than 24 hours from Donald
Trump’s signing of a new Executive Order that could spell the end for social media “fact-
checkers,” Rappler CEO Maria Ressa announced she will sue the U.S. President for violation of Free
Speech.
Trump’s Executive Order seeks to strike down social media companies’ immunity from lawsuit
for content posted by their users (Section 230.) The President himself uses Twitter to criticize
and rant against his critics.
Ressa, a U.S. citizen who runs her online news outlet in the Philippines, is known for her own
rant wanting to “take back the Internet” from Facebook and other social media users whom she
labels as purveyors of fake news.
In speaking with The Adobo Chronicles, Ressa said she stands to lose a lot of money if Trump’s
crusade against social media fact checkers will succeed.
“It also doesn’t bode well for my image as a poster girl for Press Freedom and a fierce critic of
fake news,” she added.

Watch the YouTube video “Creating critical thinkers through media literacy: Andrea Quijada at
ABQED” ( https://youtu.be/aHAApvHZ6XE )
Based on the video, why do we have to be literate in recognizing the text and subtext of
information we see in media? Given the influence of media in the 21 st century, what negative
impacts can you associate to an individual who is not media and information literate?
