In addition, the effect that fake news has on people's views of news media with so much false information, consumers are skeptical and it erodes the trust they should have in the media. How do we combat fake news? 1. Consider the journalist or media - unless it is from a credible news source, be weary that the information could be fake. 2. Research - check the citations and dates of research to ensure its from a reputable source and not outdated. It could have been true at some point, but if it is more than a few years old, the information could no longer be fact. 3. Find the source – do not just Google it to see if the information is on other sites. Find sites like Snopes which is excellent at setting the record straight. Note: Be vigilant to put a stop to its recirculation. If you see a friend sharing inaccuracies-ask them to remove their post. Add comments to articles stating the false claims, adding a link to the accurate information. We cannot stop fake news, but we can at least do our part to keep it from being reposted or repeated.

CASTRO, LPT Course Materials: Two different modes of language 1. Spoken language (sometimes called oral language) is a language which is spoken by people, used in conversations. It will have lots of phrases and incomplete sentences which are "understood in context". Mostly questions, answers, and short sentences/phrases which express an idea. It is produced by articulate sounds, as opposed to a written language. Others refer to sign language as also "spoken" especially in contrast to its written transcriptions (in Braille). In spoken language, much of the meaning is determined by the context. (Source - https://en.m.wikipedia.org) 2. Written language - is the written form of communication which includes both reading and writing. It is the representation of a spoken or gestural language by means of a writing system. Written language is an invention in that it must be taught to children, who will pick up spoken language or sign language by exposure even if they are not formally instructed. (Source - https://www.link.springer.com) Varieties of Spoken and Written Language 1. Varies when communicating with people within (local) and outside (global) our community. 2. Varies in speaking and writing 3. Varies in everyday and specialized discourses Eight different domains in which language varies: 1. Local everyday written - this may include instances of local everyday written usage found in the neighborhood posters. Example - a poster looking for transients/bed spacers 2. Local everyday oral - this may occur in local communication among neighbors in everyday, informal and local varieties of languages. Examples: Filipino dialects 3. Local specialized written - An example of local specialized written usage can be found in the publications and web sites of local societies such as the Baguio Midland Courier. 4. Local specialized oral - involves specialized discourses. For example, in a computer shop in the neighborhood, specialized local usage can be found. A specialized computer game-related vocabulary is used. 16 SUBJECT: GEED 10063 PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION COMPILED BY: REYNALDO C. CASTRO, LPT 5. Global everyday written - avoids local colloquialism to make the text accessible to wider communities of readers. This can be found in international editions of newspapers and magazines. 6. Global everyday oral - may occur in interactions between people coming from different parts of the world when they talk about everyday casual topics. 7. Global specialized written - expands to as many readers internationally, hence the non-usage of local colloquial expressions, one example is in international research journal articles. 8. Global specialized oral - occurs when people from different parts of the world discuss specialized topics in spoken form. Example is in paper presentation sessions in an international academic conference.

Global communication has created an immense business empire for communication tools which directly is responsible for the changing paradigms and policies of international relationships among nations of the world. (Source - https://www.gmu.edu) Lecture/Discussion: The term text includes any form of written, spoken or media work conveying meaning to an audience. Text may use words, graphics, sounds and images in presenting information. It may also be in oral, print, visual or electronic forms. Every piece of text carries a message, and every message carries a meaning that maybe true or false. As a regular consumer of text and receiver of information, you need to be more aware and critical about what you accept as a matter of truth or fact. In evaluating "text" you need to consider the following: 1. Message 18 SUBJECT: GEED 10063 PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION COMPILED BY: REYNALDO C. CASTRO, LPT 2. Purpose of the message 3. How is the message conveyed 4. Target audience of the message 5. Effect of the message being conveyed Media literacy - Media literacy, put simply, is the ability to identify different types of media and the messages they are sending. Therefore we, as the readers or viewers need to view the media objectively, with the goal to find out or analyze what is being presented. Source - https://www.ylai.state.gov According to Wikipedia, media literacy encompasses the practices that allow people to access critically evaluate, and create or manipulate media. The US-based National Association for Media Literacy Education defines it as the ability to analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of communication. (Source - https://www.en.m.wikipedia.org) Key Concepts of Media Literacy 1. All media messages are constructed. Media texts are built just as surely as buildings and highways are built. The key behind this concept is figuring out who constructed the message, out of what materials and as to what effect. 2. Media have embedded values and points of view. Because they are constructed, media messages carry a subtext of who and what is important-at least to the person or people creating the message. The choice of a character's age, gender or race, the selection of a setting, and the actions within the plot are just some of the ways that values become "embedded" in a television show, a movie or an advertisement. 3. Each person interprets messages differently. Different people experience the same media message differently. Audiences play a role in interpreting media messages because each audience member brings to the message a unique set of life experiences. Differences in age, gender, education and cultural upbringing will generate unique interpretations. 4. Media have commercial, ideological or political interests. Most media messages are organized to gain profit and/or power. Much of the world's media were developed as money-making enterprises. Newspapers and magazines lay out their pages with ads first: the space remaining is devoted to new. Likewise, commercials are part and parcel of most television watching now. The internet has become an international platform through which groups or individuals can attempt to persuade. 5. Media messages are constructed using a creative language having its own rules. Each form of communication has its own creative language scary music, heightens fear, camera close-ups convey intimacy, big headlines signal significance. Understanding the 19 SUBJECT: GEED 10063 PURPOSIVE COMMUNICATION COMPILED BY: REYNALDO C. CASTRO, LPT grammar, syntax and metaphor of media language helps us to be less susceptible to manipulation. (Source - https://www.ylai.state.gov) Activities/Assessment: Answer the following questions: 1. Define "texts" 2. Differentiate the text using words from text using images? 3.
