1. Corruption is present in everyone everywhere.

As a media practitioner, all you have to do to

keep yourself on your feet is to embody the ethics that have been taught to you.
2. Most of the media practitioners I have met are really committed to their profession despite the
fact that the industry is filled with people whose personal interest matters more to them than
the public.
3. Media practitioners must be fair, objective and devoted to the truth. That way, they deliver
information that contain facts. Media practitioners should not be giving out their own opinions
to influence the public rather, they must generate opinions from the public through the news
they have gathered.
4. I feel like I am doing a very crucial job for the public. As someone who is trained to be a
watchdog for the society, gathering and making news means this is something the people
should see and be aware of. Truth can be hidden, manipulated by a few people in power. It is
our duty to deliver it with fairness and every time it reaches the mass, our duty if fulfilled.
5. The process is as easy as counting 1,2,3; answer the 5W’s and 1 H and type it. However, the kind
of information you had is what really matters. The facts from important people involve on the
matter, the line of questioning, must be asked without any hint of bias, and how you dig up
information that people are trying to hide that you think will concern the public. That is how you
deliver news.
6. I have nothing against cyber politics. Since we are in the digital age, I do not see anything wrong
with utilizing technology in order to reach different groups and ages and to advertise opinions
and platforms online. What I am against at, is how some people involved in politics use
technology as a way to influence the public by attacking others through the use of trolls and
fake news.
7. No. Although media practitioners are not really discouraged to participate in any discussions
online, for they are perceived as objective, their opinion will be subjected to different
interpretations. As media practitioners their side must be with the public, and by airing opinions
online, people might think that they are favoring certain parties which will destroy their
credibility as practitioners.
8. I don’t participate in political discussions on the internet because I happen to be part of the
entertainment media industry, I have to portray a certain persona and I have to keep it that
way. Personally, I don’t like getting involved in politics.
9. I am exposed to a lot of discussions over the internet. I usually read opposing arguments on the
comment box. I respect the opinion of others. What I do not like is when they argue outside the
subject and present points that has nothing to do with the matter being discussed. It’s a waste
of time involving with arguments like that.
10. We are trained to see both sides, try to see where they are coming from so before I oppose with
someone’s opinion, I usually ask why and understand their point. People discuss not to reach
the same conclusion but to air out thoughts that matter to them and the cause they are fighting
for.
11. Yes. These are people paid to throw degrading, worthless, unreliable remarks and accusations to
officials. They only bring nothing but confusion to the public.
12. I am disappointed by the people who are benefiting from them. I am disappointed with others
who are persuaded by them, who believes in their empty words. Despite the media’ and other
 NGO’s attempt to educate netizens over media literacy, how to spot fake news, there are still
people who believe in them.
13. Fortunately, I have not and I’d like to keep it that way.
14. People are provoked to engage in a discourse with internet trolls because they can’t stay silent
anymore. They can’t scroll down to the next post without doing something about it. It does not
mean that they are going down to their level. It is not for the benefit of the trolls that some
people are getting themselves involved in some worthless argument with them. It is for the
benefit of others, who are unaware that these people exist, and they need to watch out for
them.
15. No, I have not.
16. Their use of foul language, unconfirmed claims, and degrading remarks.
17. Sad to say, they have a great contribution in influencing unaware and unsuspecting netizens.
They are very successful on that area too.
18. Sensationalism is discouraged in the media industry. Why others do it? It is because news has to
sell. After all, media companies do not run on charities. That’s what’s sad. The editors have
tried to avoid sensationalism but people don’t buy it. The fault is in the media companies and
the people.
19. I don’t participate with it.
