13- Media Literacy and Advocacies

 Last November 25, 2015 we went to the auditorium to listen a lecture from SubSelfie. Well, at first I thought it was boring but I was wrong, it is entertaining. They talked about Media Literacy and Advocacies. Media Literacy is a range of competencies that permits people to create a message in a wide diversity of media. Media literacy is also about helping students to become skillful and educated in all media forms. It is education that aims to maximize the knowledge of the students ‘understanding of how the media works. It also aims to provide the audience, specifically the students the ability to create media products.

 The speakers are Lian Buan, Sophia Balod, and Edmalynne from SubSelfie. Lian Buan is an Associate Producer from State of the Nation with Jessica Soho, and also a Journalism graduate from University of Santo Tomas. Sophia Balod in the other hand, is a Marketing Director, strategist, and News writer from for Quick Response Team and News To Go, and also a former Thomasian. Edmalynne Remillano is a Manager for Advocacies, also a News Writer for State of the Nation with Jessica Soho, and a graduate from University of the Philippines-Diliman. SubSelfie.com is a project of Filipino communication professionals about their stories behind the spot and beyond the newsroom.

  The SubSelfie team provides interesting lecture to us SoM Freshmen Students, the speakers are also entertaining especially Ms. Edma who kept on joking around while speaking. Though they only talked for about few hours, we still learned a lot from them about Media Literacy and Advocacies. They taught us the art of interview, the 5 W’s, Advocacy Journalism, objectivity and fairness, and writing a story.

 Overall, I enjoy the entire seminar and it really catches the attention of the audience because of the topics. Kudos to Team SubSelfie!
