Q. views on media ethics and conflict in mindanao?
-my views in media ethics and conflict in mindanao is that mindanao was portrayed as a war zone, and also terrorist,kidnappers,corrupt officials, etc. Are one of the example of characters portrayed by the media practitioners, which means that media practitioners contributed building of stereotypes of muslims. The there are distinguish parties to the conflict, the MNLF (moro national liberation front), and MILF (moro islamic liberation front), civilian muslims , a TV journalist , they were conspiring to overthrow the government.
Q.On what grounds that you agree or disagree with?
Disagree.
-The ground of result of the media practitioners as a result of prevented the investors to step forward because they were scared because of they have read on the newspapers, of what they heard on the radio, and also what they seen on the television.
Agree.
-is that mass media practitioners should be more sensitive in terms of the faith and cultures of muslims when they were covering events in mindanao, because muslims have there own privacy in terms of their culture and faith.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading the text,there are thoughts came into my mind.
I agree that our mass media practitioners has prevented the investors to step forward in our place because of what they are read in the newspaper,heard over the radio,etc...
A big percentage of the investors would not invest just because of what they hear and read,it would affect our economy.So our mass media practitioners should be careful and sensitive to what they been saying or writing.Our mass media practitioners also play a crucial role in forging peace in a world that seems to be preoccupied with violence.they should do(as what in the text tell)must observe proper dress and decorum when doing coverage or interviews,must investigate the historical background of the Mindanao conflict,be highly conscious of the distinctions between terms denoting religious identity,must examine one source but all the possible source too,must read up on the various cultures of the 13 Muslim ethno linguistic group,and mass media practitioners must be extra careful when describing people who are suspects in a crime.After doing these things I'm sure that they lessen the conflict here in Mindanao.

It is all about on how the reporters, journalists, and media portray. The Mindanao and our Muslim brothers and sisters. Their statement about Mindanao is partly true yet unfair. Partly true because we can't deny the fact that chaos are rampant in Mindanao and the idea of "war zone" is something related on what are the happenings in Mindanao. But it is also unfair for those other regions in Mindanao who lived peacefully, not only to those the idea of the society, they were rate unequal to other member of the society.
Rufa Cagoco-Gulan is right. Mass media practitioners should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims. They should know first the background of the issue. they should also consider those considerations and be extra careful when describing people.

The exploitation of the Mindanao conflict for a long time by external vested interests for reasons not necessarily for the good or benefit of the marginalized sectors or government. The suspected involvement of international agencies or groups such as Islamic radical movements including terrorist groups or central intelligence agencies of powers cannot be ignored.
Apparently, the subtle hands of ugly politics in local and national levels and fora including the inner sanctums of Congress are nurturing the culture of conflict along irreconcilable lines making use of the rhetorics of constitutionalism, legalism, morality, public order, humanism, and democracy to rally the processes of tri-media for their purposes. It is these political riders in the Mindanao conflict from the viewpoints of the armed protagonists that are prolonging the agonies of war and the ecstasies of vested interests not affected directly by the violence of conflict.

The article gave a relevant information about the conflict here in Mindanao. As I read the article,it talked about the more realistic image of Muslims in Mindanao who have got involve different conflicts, crimes, and violence. It said that Mindanao is a full-blown of "war" and headlines range from bombings, shootouts,kidnapping incidents, and etc. So it means Mindanao cannot easily forge peace because it seems to be preoccupied with violence. In fact, the roots of conflicts are still not illuminated. There were Media practitioners who made an interviews and then they reported it, so that the society will know about this kind of issues. Through this report, the people will be aware that they should not generalize all Muslims if one of their fellow involved any kind of crimes or violence. We should be open-minded of these so that we can't hurt our fellow Muslims. We are already matured and its up to us how to analyze and to understand it.

Yes, mass media practitioner's portrayal can affect our lives, but everyone of us can think if that is really happening or not. Instead we react about the news abruptly, we must read informations and ask questions from other people. Maybe some of the undesirable things were really happening in Mindanao but we must observe on what is really happening before we judge everyone whose living here in Mindanao. Mass media can make our image bad, but they can also help us in solving conflicts and impede peace processes.

I agree with mass media. Because there are other branches of media that do not only report on the bad side of Mindanao. Example, those in the tourism industry, they also report on the good side of the brother Muslims on their contributions on the economic and political growth of Mindanao, during summits and festival. Sad to say, negative reports are more appealing to the reading public. And I suggest that our brother Muslims should also promote peace and order of Mindanao so that they will not be branded as troublemakers. they should show what are they fighting for. The rights must be in accordance with the welfare of the whole Mindanao-ans.We should also respect their rights. Admittedly, mass media is more powerful in expressing what they want to impart to the people.

The article "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao" was about the reporters, journalists or mass media practitioners that covering and writing some article about what are the events happened in Mindanao.
ReplyDeleteMass media practitioners should be careful on their articles and news reports concerning about the events in Mindanao because those things may really affect the lives of the people living in that area specially to our Muslim brothers and sisters.Journalist should be faithful and honest to the news articles they publish. They should only put the exact information on their reports.
I agree to Rufa Cagoco-Guiam that mass media practitioners should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims when they are covering events in Mindanao.
They should be careful on what they publish because they are responsible in publishing and expressing the events and thoughts of every people in our society.

Mass media practitioners in the Philippines contributed a lot in our country in terms of spreading news and informations . But some of them give colors to the news they are publishing that sometimes makes unnecessary opinions and actions to the other people.
I agree to Rufa Cagoco-Guiam’s article entitled “Telling the Truth of the “Other”: Image of Islam and Muslim in the Philippines” because what she stated in here article actually happens in real life situations. Some of the mass media practitioners do not consider their physical appearances and etiquette just to acquire and create good news. All they want is to become popular in their field. They do not consider the effects of their actions.
Let’s face the fact that it’s hard to live without the informations given by the mass media practitioners but I, as a student, do not want to obtain good news and information! I need to know the facts about the actual happenings around me because I am living in a real world with a real situation. We should act about this malpractice.

As I read the text "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao", all I can say is that, first, I am disagree to the mass media practitioners for what they are doing . I believe that not all media cover events like that but as what stated there , mass media should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims,besides not all Muslim are involved in that situation.They must point out the exact issue and exact location in Mindanao for it greatly affects the economy and the people.Also, they must contribute to peace process rather than impeding it.In addition, mass media practitioners must follow the do's and don'ts in covering events with the Muslims in Mindanao.In conclusion, each of us must cooperate to the government in finding ways to achieve peace for conflict in Mindanao is not really a favorable occurrence.

Terrorist, Kidnappers, corrupt officials and all other undesirable characters in society was been portrayed by Mass Media to Mindanao. If I would be ask to choose on what grounds I agree and disagree with? I chose to disagree with the mass media why? Upon reading the article Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao, I found out that Mindanao was been criticized by mass media practitioners because of the bad happenings in their region and my opinion to that is, for me if I heard Mindanao region what comes in my mind are our Muslim brothers and sisters who give importance to their traditions and culture that until now they still keep on preserving, they as well treat each other as brothers and sisters that if one of them had conflict to other people they are there to help those who are involve Muslim in the conflict. The question is, If Muslims are the one who make their image as bad? As kidnappers? As terrorists? And all other undesirable characters in the society? do we think all Muslims did that to make their image as bad as we think or as bad as the mass media portrayed ? No. because for me Mindanao is just been a region used for terrorist recruitment and a training base. And it doesn’t mean that Muslims are the one who lead that, we didn’t know it might be other country‘s men who used Mindanao because the image of Mindanao was now known and visualize as an Island war that let other country or region afraid of, because of the news that they’ve heard about the region ;Investors from other country will scared to invest and because of that Muslims from Mindanao region will migrate to another region or change their religion just to surpass the bad image that people thought for them.

As for the Media ethics they are the one who portrayed about the terrorist, kidnappers, corrupt officials and all other undesirable characters in society. Yes, their reports about Mindanao are all correct yet unfair because they only deliver news from Mindanao only in terms of conflict, crime and violence where Muslims are involved. Though there are a lot of development activities are happening in Mindanao, yet it is only the problem that gets reported. And it prevents the investors to step forward because they get scared by what they have read in the news, heard over the radio, etc. Some of the Muslims are affected about the news because many people got scared whenever they met a Muslim and the truth is that not all Muslims are involved in the conflicts in Mindanao. Overall mass media practitioners should be more sensitive to the faith of cultures of Muslims when they are covering events in Mindanao. And they should be extra careful in describing people and what will they report.

Mass media practitioners plays an important part in spreading news or information.
After I read the article "Media Ethics and conflict in Mindanao" there are parts of it that I disagree and agree. I disagree in the statement "that there is a full blown war in Mindanao". Not all places or cities in Mindanao are involved in a war. Media practitioners must be more specific in giving places or giving a report.
I agree in the statement that Muslim kidnappers/bandits never in Christian kidnappers/bandits. Can you observe in national news they only report in Mindanao about war and etc. and usually the suspect or main subject are Muslims. If Muslims war-freak? In reporting there should be no discrimination specifically in religion. I also agree in the statement "Mass media practitioners must be aware of their critical and influential role". The people in the Philippines easily believe in what they heard or watch. So the mass media practitioner should be more careful in their reports because of their critical and influential role.
I disagree to the quotation that Mindanao is "war zone" because not all places here in Mindanao is suffering from war. In fact, I lived peacefully here in our land of promise, though sometimes we cannot prevent wars, but its normal. Even Luzon and Visayas also experienced war. That's why mass media practitioners should not generalize Mindanao as full-blown area.

Mass Media practitioners contribute a big role in our society. They are the people who spreads and give information on what are the happenings and the headlines news. They report all events and news so that we, people of this society will be aware for the latest issues.
I agree in the statement of Rufa Cagoco-Guiam, Mindanao State University Center for Peace and Development Studies Director, in her article entitled “Telling the Truth of the "Other": Images of Islam and Muslims in the Philippines”, related the do's and don'ts for non-Muslim mass media practitioners covering events and processes with the Muslims in Mindanao. It is because media is the one who is entitled or required to speak the truth, to spread the truth because we people of the society are always listening to them so they should speak out the truth .
CAMILE W.NAJIAL of BSBA-1B
ReplyDeleteBased on what I've read ,, I can say that MASS MEDIA PRACTITIONERS contributed a lot on spreading headlines in related to conflicts of Mindanao.We all know that the percentage of Muslim's population is in Mindanao.And with no offense,Muslim groups such as MILF,MNLF and CIVILIAN MUSLIM are to blame on the undesirable activities happened such as -kidnapping,bombing, military ambushes and etc.
I disagree on Muslims groups vision and activities that is contrast to our higher government . And also I STRONGLY AGREE' about what RUFA CAGOCO-GUIAM state on her 'Telling The Truth Of The Other'. And with RINA JIMENEZ DAVID's 'Positive Spin Of Mindanao'.It must be proper that non-muslim mass media practitioners must know the do's and dont's on covering events w/ the Muslim in Mindanao to be able to have peaceful interactions w/ them. In addition mass media practitioners must be specific and responsible on their reports for in every wrong word they state it could already affect the reputation or pride of Mindanao. And also it may affect or block the coming of investors due to the doubts in taking risk on taking up a business that can cause to our economy to weaken .
So I therefore conclude that in every profession we have [ in mass media practitioners to be specific ] we must be knowledgeable ,sensitive and responsible enough to help not only our region but also our country's economy to level up.

This article "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao" has became my "eyeopener" of all the things that mass media practitioners had been portrayed in Mindanao.
I strongly agree, that mass media practitioners were just keep on reporting about the bad sides like bombings, military ambushes,kidnapping, etc and not on the good sides were Mindanao now is experiencing of. In fact, I have became the effect of that conflict in media ethics, which all my thoughts about conflicts in Mindanao since when I was young was that only Muslims were only involved.
In addition, I also agree that mass media practitioners must be specific enough in giving their reports and investigate more about that certain conflict in Mindanao, such that, they have an influential role in society.

As i read the article of "media ethics and conflict in mindanao" i realize that many people think's that mindanao is a "war zone" place but they don't mind those good things that are happening here, and also people easily judge our muslims brothers/sisters not all of them is a MILF they maybe a muslim but some of them are good and have feelings too, they may get hurt about this issue.
In some way's i agree about the article of Rufa cagaco-Guiam entitled "Telling The Truth of the "Others" that we must be sensitive to the faith and cultures of meslims when they are covering events in mindanao. we are so self centered because we only think of our own feelings but we don't know that in every actions that we make there are people that may get hurt, sometimes we must think many times to our actions not only for our own good but also for others sake.

we all know that media and terrorists is always a big issue in our country specifically in mindanao, since there are some instances that media publishes wrong statements and terrorists are being too aggressive even if media haven't done wrong.
on my own opinion,I agree that media should be extra very careful on stating issues about mnlf,milf,and abusayyaf since we planted it in our minds that media always tell truth about certain news in our country.on the contrary i disagree on the things that media would say on terrorists,not all of those statements were true at all,the bottomline is medias job is very crucial and critical so they should be very hands on on their issues certainly about terrorisms.

Mass media are the one who gives information and the one who gives current happenings around the world through the technology that we have in the present. Because of them, people’s awareness increases as they receive the details of their reports. In the article “Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao”, mass media practitioners play a very important role in the society. They can influence the mind of individual in considering who’s telling the truth or not. They may convince,inform and even influence people.
This article talks about the current situation in Mindanao and how mass media practitioners deliver it to the public. I disagree with Gina Mission's statement that Mindanao is portrayed as a war zone. Not the whole part of Mindanao has disorder event, I think only a part of Mindanao. It’s wrong to say that it is a dangerous place to go and live with. Because if they said that it's a dangerous place, there should be no tourists that visit here. There should be no foreigners would invests here. And I must not be here too. That is why mass media practitioners should know there limitations. They must be aware of there influential reports in order that there will be no conflict.

but as we all know, we are just human ,
we're not perfect at all time ..
we stand in our own words.BUT that doesn't mean we are all right!
About this problem, which is Mindanao was a war zone (muslims) ,I just want to say that there is no perfect country ,from the beginning, every country undergone by many wars,just to have FREEDOM OR DEMOCRACY .. THE media must be extra careful about delivering their infos. Because, it affects us a lot . (mindanao)BECAUSE, WHAT MEDIA TELLS, IT INFLUENCES the people ..
Some people believes on what media posted on tv, radios & others, and at the back of the media was just a human ,a human whos not perfect.THEY MUST BE SUPER EXTRA CAREFUL ENOUGH.

Mass Media Practitioners is a big help in our society. They give hottest new on earth, we are aware of what is happening in this entire world. But suddenly, I am not agree about their report that "Mindanao is a War Zone". As a dabawenyo, I cannot say that Mindanao is a war zone. For my 16 years of existence here in Davao, my life is very peaceful. In fact, I love living here. Because the surroundings are peaceful but not that perfect. You can live here without hose big moneys around, because Mindanao is full of Food Resources. All of the peoples here are striving hard to moved away their past lives.
All I can say is that, Mass Media Practitioners should be careful enough by giving reports. Because, as I observed that the medias are just listening to the issues out there and they will make it as a Confirmed News. Media's should also check the place or to interview the person if it is about the person, to confirm that it is true and they have their evidence to prove that it is a fact.

I disagree with the idea that there is a full-blown "war" in Mindanao.They should have known that not all areas in Mindanao is a war zone and not all the time there is a war happening in Mindanao.In additional,I divulge Davao City,a part of Mindanao, as a home where I find security and comfort.

Many people are already know this issue, many people concern this article which is "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao" its because many people die because of the terrorism, kidnapping, kidnapping and others. Base on this Media that Headlines range from bombings, shootouts, military ambushes, kidnapping incidents and failed ceasefires. Muslims are involved. These give the public the idea that there is a full-blown “war” in Mindanao.
I disagree that the Mindanao is a war zone because their are some places in Mindanao are peaceful places and all crimes can be easy to chase by the active officer in the some places in Mindanao .
I agree with the statement “mass media practitioners should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims when covering events in Mindanao” because as what I noticed there’s some information or news aired on televisions and radios by some media journalists that sounds abusive to our fellow Muslim brothers because some data is opposed to their beliefs and cultures and as a result of this wrong information conflicts between individuals might occur.

Mass media is one of those sources that most of the people rely of.

Although mass media contributed a lot still, they are not deliver or report, the specific events. As a results investors are afraid to trust and to invest here in Mindanao.

The article "Media Ethics & Conflict in Mindanao" had really a great impact to me. This article really tells us that Mindanao must not be a mirror of wars in the country. Mass media practitioners must have reliable backgrounds what they will be reporting. This article also tells us that the Mass Media practitioners must respect the rights Muslim & Christian's ethics living in the Mindanao. The article will rally help the mass media practitioners to become more sensitive about the different issues in Mindanao.
The paragraph number 2 is what I really agree with. I agree in this paragraph because I know that the other people living outside Mindanao really look down to those people living in Mindanao. So, the mass media practitioners must be sensitive about what would be the feelings of the people living in that particular area, Mindanao.

The article is very good. because it can let the people see what the real thing is all about. It will serve as the eye-opener to all of the media practitioners. Their statements about Mindanao is somewhat not good. First, because they are describing Mindanao as a whole. Not all parts of Mindanao is in chaos. maybe there are really some places in where you can really call it a war-zone. But it is not right to describe Mindanao as a place of war. It will be very unfair to the places in Mindanao that has peace. It can also destroy the name of the place, and it can really affect the tourism in the place. The mass media practitioners must be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims.Also, they must look at the background of the issue first before making their statements.

Some of the Filipinos, especially in the Northern part of the Philippines, may know Mindanao as a land of Muslims,"war-zone", place of terrorists, kidnappers and corrupt officials. Even foreigners and investors get scared by what they have read in newspapers, heard over the radio and seen in the television. It is because mass media practitioners deliver news from Mindanao only in terms of conflict, crime and violence. Headlines range from bombings, shootouts, military ambushes, kidnapping incidents and failed ceasefires.And these involved our Muslim's bothers and sisters. It is just sad and disappointing that our own and fellow Filipinos are the one contributing this kind of image in Mindanao.
I live in Mindanao. And I can say that I am proud to be a Mindanao-an and i live here peacefully. And I disagree that it is a war zone. There is a Japanese businessman once said that "Give me Mindanao and I can feed the world". This just means that the public have mistaken the image of Mindanao.Mass media practitioners should not just report the negative sides of Mindanao but instead they must also look for the positive side of it.

I agree as to what others said. The media keeps on showing or saying the negative or bad side which is happening here in Mindanao. Yes, there might be some good news but only the bad ones will remain in peoples mind. Because of this tourists will not come here, and even investors too. It is because people are scared because of the bad things they've heard from here. I think the mass media should be careful with their reports or the information they give because many people will take note of it even the smallest detail.

I Totally agree with the article which said there that “mass media practitioner's portrayal has prevented the investors to step forward because they get scared by what they have read in the newspapers, heard over the radio, and seen in the television” because as an additional with that article,
Mass media practitioners should also be sensitive when it comes to their works. One clear advantage with their works for us is that it provides us with all the information on current affairs, history and other subjects. However, disadvantage is that we cannot distinguish the information from misinformation. In any situation in terms of reality, mass media practitioners sometimes are getting exaggerated by their works for it to be effective to their readers for them to be satissfy. This means that people can be easily manipulated by the people who control the media.

That's also the reason why the other investors afraid to invest in Mindanao. But what about the innocent Muslim who are not related to the war ? Should we deprive their rights and peace as country fellow men ? Maybe it's time that the mass media should be sensitive to the faith and culture of Muslims.

The article reveals important information concerning the events occurring in Mindanao. There are no good information is revealed in the article because not all areas in Mindanao are having a war. The reporters, journalist and all mass media are saying that dangerous claimed in Mindanao since many ongoing war. How the only other place in Mindanao? These peaceful places in Mindanao? Only do we include them because it contained Mindanao? Where is the independent right who live in peaceful place? Yes, Mindanao is called war zone but did all of these battles occur throughout Mindanao? We must don't judge thing.Mass media practitioner should be sensitive to the faith and cultures. Mass media must examine not only one source, but all possible sources of information.
I am a Mindanao-an and I am peacefully living in this place. I am proud of being Mindanao-an and I love to live in Mindanao.

I agree that the mass media practioners should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslim when they are covering events in Mindanao. And also it is not good in discriminating religion just because some people say that if they have kind of religion, they are something inclined in committing crime to the society.

I disagree about the idea that the Mindanao is a "WAR ZONE" because not all places in Mindanao is suffering in WAR ZONE and IT is very unfair in some places of Mindanao.So I conclude that the mass media practitioners must be aware on giving reports.

After I read the article "MEDIA ETHICS AND CONFLICT IN MINDANAO" I can say that media personalities are bias they only focuses on the negative side of Mindanao like wars, kidnappings, bombings and the saddest is that they don't even know what is the real reason behind the issues. I hope that one day media personalities may feature Mindanao on the lighter side and the on the positive aspects because, Mindanao is a beautiful place and it is a waste if they considered Mindanao as a scary place because of the wrong gossips.

Mass media practitioners are the one responsible in giving reports so that we will be aware of the happenings in the world that we live in. But I disagree about the report that Mindanao is a “WARZONE” because they are describing Mindanao as one. In 16 years of my existence, I can say that not all places in Mindanao is at war.
All I can say to the mass media is that you should be careful of what reports you make. Support it with factual information and some interviews.
As I read the article entitled "The Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao",I disagree of what mass media says about Mindanao and about Muslims.The Mass Media Practitioners are the one making the issue thats why some of our brother Muslims showed what they had written not to prove that mass media is right but to show what they want.Not all people living in Mindanao are Muslims and not all Muslims are involve in what we called terrorists.I disagree also in this quote "Mindanao portrayed as a war zone",maybe there are some few parts of Mindanao but not the whole Mindanao.The reason why our brother Muslims do such thing its because of some wrong details about them and wrong view about Mindanao.

Media practitioners have contributed a lot in terms of relaying information to the public . They are the ones who have the capacity to influence our impressions and views about a certain topic. That is why ,our media practitioners should be careful when encountering a sensitive issue ,for instance, Mindanao is viewed as a war zone in the Philippines ( an excerpt in the article "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao"). I, as a college student disagree on this one because war is not rampant on all the places in Mindanao, there are specific places that are experiencing war during this time but not the entire island. Moreover, our media practitioners should not be one-sided only when delivering a news. "Terrorists, kidnappers, corrupt officials and all other undesirable characters in society are usually portrayed by the media practitioners to the image of Muslims in Southern Philippines" This is said to be incorrect because Muslims should not be portrayed as the ones who does all undesirable crimes. In addition to, I also disagree because there are a lot of people from different religions and cultures who are doing evil acts far more worse than Muslims.
Lastly, our media practitioners should religiously follow their code of ethics. They should remind themselves that in every independence, it should be coupled with responsibility.

I agree with the statement that media practitioners portrayed the Muslim image as worse people because when they talk about terrorist, kidnappers, and corrupt officials the paradigm of the media was Muslim are always involved in the war. Muslims are common in Mindanao that is why the paradigm of the people in Mindanao is also a war zone.

I agree with all the statements in the article. Doubtlessly, mass media practitioners have contributed greatly to the building of stereotypes to Muslims. They often deliver news from Mindanao in terms of conflict and crime and seldom inform the public about Mindanao’s economic growth and any other positive events. In addition, the “Muslim” label is often attached to the “bad guys” like terrorist, kidnappers and corrupt officials even if their religion has nothing to do with it. This gives the general public the idea that Mindanao is not a safe place because of the Muslim population. This prevented the investors to step forward and invest in Mindanao which could have greatly helped our economic growth.
As a Business Administration student, this holds a great importance to me. The image of Mindanao should be changed in order for us to gain investors and grow economically and in this; we seriously need the cooperation of our mass media practitioners. Indeed, they could either make or break us.

I agree that the insights of the mass media practitioner had blocked both local and foreign investors to come in our place. It is simply because of what they heard over the radio, seen on television and even read on news papers/tabloids. The lesser the investors daring to come in our place it could greatly affect the economy in our place. We do have lots of tourist spots here; because of what they heard and read foreigners might get afraid, it could hardly affect the tourism of the place. The mass media practitioner should be sensitive more enough and be careful on what they were saying. Before relieving their ideas and opinions, mass media practitioner should know first the historical background of Mindanao conflict and the government’s policy in terms of peace negotiation. They should be extra careful in describing the suspect of the crimes. And i disagree about what they quoted about Mindanao is a "war zone". They should have checked the backgrounds of both religion, because not all Muslims or Christians are capable doing such vicious act.

As I read this article, i can say that i disagree with the statement or the idea presented by a certain person regarding the article "that there is a full-blown war in Mindanao".I bet to disagree because it is too far from the truth and beside i'd been living in this city for almost 20 years yet i never experienced such things.Maybe there's an accident, ambush and other form of violence yet it's not true for the entire MINDANAO so i won't agree with it. They should be sensitive to what they write in an article or in the words they utter in public.The media practitioner should know the truth and always think many times before making a conclusion with regards to the issue.
When I read the article,I felt sad because when you say Mindanao the first thing comes in their mind are war,crime,and violence.As my personal experience,when I was in Cavite when I say I live in Mindanao my classmates are scary because they believe that most of the people live in Mindanao are Muslims,they know that Muslims are the one started war.crime,and violence.They heard and watch on the television some wrong information about our brother Muslims.For me this is unfair in the part of our Muslim brothers&sisters because not all Muslims are that kind of person.We should stop discriminating them and we should respect them.

ReplyDeleteMass Media practitioners plays important part in spreading information of current events.Somehow some contributes stereotyped information and perceived bias information to cover some part of selection .Such this article "Media Ethics and conflict in Mindanao" this portrays the prejudicial fact that can ruin the image of Mindanao because they judge it as a whole .I really disagree of the statement "war zone" because not only Mindanao experienced war ,crime and etc.In fact our place here on Mindanao where I grow up is a home where I can live secure peace and I never encountered such chaos.
The practitioners of Mass Media has a big contribution in terms of getting and knowing information about the issues and news in our daily lives. They also have a big influence in people. We can find their reports through television, newspaper, radio and other informative materials. So as a popular and influential source of information they must be responsible in comes to their reports.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I think they are being unfair portraying Mindanao as a "war zone" as well as our Muslims brothers and sisters. When people hear words such as Mindanao and Muslims, automatically the first impression of the people (especially those who lives in Luzon and those who never goes to Mindanao) is place of bombing, terrorism, kidnapping and other dangerous happenings. But we all know that this is not true, they are describing Mindanao and Muslims as whole. Not all places in Mindanao are dangerous and not all Muslims are terrorist. They must consider the innocent citizens living in here, on how their actions affects the lives of the accused. Instead of looking the bad sides of this place why don't they portray the good qualities and beautiful side of Mindanao. Mass media practitioners must be sensitive and responsible.

ReplyDeleteI agree on the statement, "Mass media practitioners should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims when they are covering events in Mindanao." "STEREOTYPING", that what usually comes to everyone's minds when news are being exaggerated. Giving information to listeners and viewers by our respected media practitioners sensitively are only a few of their roles for us to become aware of what's happening around us. They make us keen observers to whatever issues and thus make us alert and attentive. They also give us a view of how safe or unsafe a certain place is. Therefore, they should be careful on whatever they say or whatever they relay to its viewers. That's what I don't agree with some media practitioners in delivering their message. They should be fair enough to give opinions over a certain issue. They should be aware of their important roles for they can be a help in solving conflicts, not causing any conflicts; and can be an instrument for continuous peace not only in Mindanao but also in the whole country.

In my own opinion, I disagree by how the mass media practitioners portrayed the Mindanao in their articles or documentaries. It's not being bias because I live in Mindanao but because they only see the things that make Mindanao fall down and not the positive side that we should always look forward to. Crimes are not only the happenings here in Mindanao but also the progress, for example, economic growth. I would also like to take in the side of our Muslim brothers and sisters. We should not generalize all Muslim people by what one does wrong. They are not all doing bad things. As for the mass media practitioners, they should also be careful in making articles or documentaries specially about the Muslim culture. We should respect their culture and beliefs.

Part of the Filipinos' lives were anchored by getting and hearing information. It might came from a newspaper, news report on televisions, or in magazines. In the article entitled "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao", I am not pleased with what the media practitioner called Mindanao as it is today "Mindanao is a war zone". Yes, it is true that Mindanao was one of the sites of some bombing and kidnapping incidents in the country but it is not appropriate to called it as a "war zone". Those reasons aren't enough! I would like also to raise my own perception in the issue of reporting those cases of bombings and the like while discarding those activities in Mindanao in relation to peace keeping. Where is the word "fairness" to those media practitioners?Anyway I would like to emphasized that in every reports made by those media practitioners about the chaos in Mindanao were always involved our fellow Muslims and it was evidently seen that instead of reporting those actual, complete and fair informations such as who, when, where and how the thing happened, the reported informations were insufficient. In result, some people will perceived Muslims as "war freak" which is not right! Now, for those media practitioners, "to be fair" must always shown in the process of spreading information because if not it might lead to misinterpretations.
When I read the article i felt sad because when you say Mindanao the first thing comes in their mind is war, terrorists, crime, and violence. As my personal experience when I was in Cavite when I say that I live in Mindanao my classmates are scared they know that most of the people living in Mindanao are Muslims, they believe that they the one who started war, crime, and violence in Mindanao. And sometimes the wrong information from the television make them scared in our Muslim brothers. For me, this is unfair in the part of our Muslims brothers/sisters because not all Muslim are that kind of person. We should stop discriminating them and should respect them.

He also serve as a good example and an inspiration for the students to study hard and pursue their chosen profession. The author presents some ways in which engineering students can be encouraged to become effective communicators regardless of the "not-so-good" facilities.
I think the best way to teach is making the learning interactive with more participation from students, as well as to create an atmosphere where lecturers are seen as friendly guides who can be reached easily when there is a doubt.
as a conclusion, I want to say thank you to Sir Sajed for being an inspiration for all of us. continue to love teaching especially the engineering students.

In the Philippines, we all know that there are lots of Muslims who are living especially in Mindanao.
As I read the article about "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao" I disagreed, because the mass media are just focusing in giving informations/news about the conflict,crimes and violence in Mindanao also there are accusing Muslims that because of them Mindanao was called as the "war zone". Because of this i can say that the main message of this article to the people especially to the mass media practitioners that before they will deliver a news, they should investigate first if the phenomenon is true, also before they make will make decisions they should think first that there are lots of innocent muslims who are being involved because as they deliver it, they are saying it as a whole. they should respect muslims. in short they should not focused only on the darkside of muslims but also in their brighter side.

Our language should be neutral and normal. We should avoid gratitous references to appearance or attire, while recognizing the situations when these details are relevant. A certain article like media ethics and conflict in Mindanao, contributed to building up the stereotypes among the Muslims in Mindanao, and to its people who lives in Mindanao. The investors, visitors and other business matters which get scared by what they read in the newspapers, hears over the radio and seen i the television. I agree on the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 ad 6 which mass media practitioers covering events and processes with the Muslim in Mindanao because the showed an unfavorable comments. However, it does not necessarily compensate for the harm done by a misleading news report. When the potential for communal tension takes place the effort to investigate and expose the underlying causes should be observed. One thing I don't like in the article is that people nowadays giving points, opinions, comment all those forms of stereotyping which might hurt the feelings of other people, to which is not part of the crime because of the group they belong has a mark already. It gives us an idea that they are also like what other people do. When there is a violence, particular care should be taken place. But, all of those article about the Muslim in Mindanao were just a propaganda or it's just an opinion of the columnist and to decide to which it's true or not. It's between in ourselves and to what we believe.

This article "Media Ethics and Conflict in Mindanao" is very very true, and I agree about this. Mindanao is not a war zone. It is just because Mindanao has been highlighted by many issues and different conflicts that happened often. Mass media practitioners just deliver news only in terms of crime, violence and some incidents such as bombing, shootouts,etc. But what about the good side and behind of this beautiful place, Mindanao? They're just focusing about this wars again and again. And when a new small bad things happen again, these practitioners deliver it again on tv.
Some people outside from mindanao and specially in other country might think that Mindanao is a very dangerous place to visit to, because of such wars between any groups of people (soldiers and militaries) and that has been dilivered by mass media practitioners repeatedly on TV. And because of this, someone fool might gave bad opinions and comments about those tragedies happened.It affects the insights of the tourists, foreigners and to those listeners and might lose trust in visiting in this place and towards people living here. Mindanao has a lot of beautiful places and rich from some resources. Mass media practitioners should not just report about the bad things happen in Mindanao but also they must also look for the good things in this beautiful place.

Instead of helping them to build a good reputation, Mass media practitioners are complicating issues in their news report.

As I have read this text,I have agreed to Ms. Rufa Cagoco-Guiam, Mindanao State University Center for Peace and Development Studies Director, in her article entitled “Telling the Truth of the "Other": Images of Islam and Muslims in the Philippines”. Her article really had a point. Her article helps become an eye opener to the mass media practitioners on what they are going to do in covering events and processes with the Muslims in Mindanao. I also agreed with this statement, "Media practitioners should be sensitive to the faith and cultures of Muslims when they are covering events in Mindanao." Mass media should really be sensitive and careful about their coverage and also they need to have enough idea and know what they are talking about as a show a respect to the beliefs of our Muslim people.
I also strongly disagree with the idea that there is a full-blown “war” in Mindanao. Mass media practitioners should be specific in what particular place in Mindanao because as what I have known, not all places here in Mindanao are having a war. Some Muslims are really good and are not related to crimes. Also they should be specific and conscious because they are a lot of people who are living peacefully in Mindanao. And if they report such negative issues about Mindanao, people in other place will surely become afraid in entering Mindanao since they already had an idea that Mindanao is a place where there are lots of war and any crimes. And with that, innocent people who are living in Mindanao will surely be affected.

About the article "media ethics and conflict in mindanao", i agree with that statement that mass media practitioners must be investigate the historical background of the mindanao conflict and the philippines governments policy and guidelines for peace negotiations. And also with highly concious of the distinctions to examine not only one source of informations but the whole of it. For the harmonious of our society, specially to our brothers and sisters who are Muslims.
The text reveals an important issue concerning in Mindanao.The mass media practitioners do have a great job about Mindanao,as they call "war zone".But they play a crucial role because they make or break Mindanao on what and how they react on the events.And also they should take advantage to the Muslim's belief and culture.Despite of this,they only focused on the conflict,crime and violence even the headline range from bombings,shootouts and the like instead of the political and economic process which generates Mindanao.It does not address the complex relationship between the state and rebels.Thus,they can be either useful or a hindrance in the peace process of Mindanao.

I disagree of the statement that '' mass media practitioners deliver news from Mindanao only in terms of conflict, crime and violence ''or they call it full-brown war in Mindanao. I disagree because why only crimes are headlines on their news, it may influence the mind of the readers that the Mindanao is a crime City, people in other place will have scar on their mind that the people who are occupying in Mindanao is a dangerous person. When there is a bombing incident, the journalists must dateline their stories where the events/crime took place rather than just saying it was in Mindanao. The journalist must give the specific place at where the crimes happen or incidences happen because Mindanao is a huge place.
Mass media practitioners should be sensitive to the faith and culture of Muslims when they are covering events in Mindanao.
