Using the airwaves to promote media
safety and ethics
Starting June 25, a 30-minute segment about Philippine media will air
over dwAD 1098 khz from 3:30 to 4 p.m. every Monday. Dubbed "Usapang
Media", NUJP personalities such as Jose Torres Jr. (GMA
News.tv), Deo Bugaoisan (GMA7), Nonoy Espina (Inquirer.net
), Carlos Conde (IHT) and UP Journalism Prof. Danny Arao will take turns
anchoring the segment. Sonny Fernandez, NUJP vice chair and Angel Ayala
of NUJP-Sorsogon are project heads.
"Usapang Media" will be a regular segment in the program, "Ano
Bang Atin Kabayan" hosted by Ricky Lee.
The segment will focus on issues that journalists face, ranging from killings
to the measly wages that correspondents and media staff receive. It will
provide tips for safe coverage and enhance awareness of ethical journalism.
The project also seeks to build a base of listeners with a critical understanding of the nature of media. Thus, "Usapang Media" will tackle how media works, how it produces meaning and constructs reality, and how it could sometimes benefit some people but leave others out.
All episodes will be recorded and the materials made available to anyone who is interested.
