TV NEWS PROGRAM: CONTENT
ANALYSIS (ABS CBN)
1. What is the time ratio of aired TV commercial from the news?
Base from our group observation, the time percentile allotted for the
news casting is 75% while the commercial break owns only 25% for the
whole duration of the news.
2. Which of the news delivered considered very important to you
(especially to your profession)?
For me, all of the delivered news considered very important because it
makes me witness the important events in real time; it is one of the
powerful tool of verification; it can give me an idea when it comes to
storytelling to someone who did not watch the news; it has a strong
connection to people in the news because we are using two senses in
watching TV, the sense of seeing and hearing.
As a teacher there are benefits that I could get from the news such as
it keeps me updated and it provides important educational value, it
helps to open up my mind to new things and ideas, I can create my
own opinion and gives more topics to talk about especially integrating
this into the class about the latest updates or happening.
3. Which would surely help in your daily life from the recent situation that
took place?
From the news, it helps me a lot of knowing what was happening of the
environment from local to national even international with regards to
the COVID- 19 pandemic. The media have been following every step of
this journey-with multiple stories, incessant headlines and continuous
updates across the past few weeks. Though the cases of the pandemic
still increasing in number not just in our country but worldwide but if
we just follow what our government says that STAY AT HOME no
wonder that we could fight against this pandemic. But sometimes I
can’t deny that fear still strikes me because of some fake news posted
in some social media. But with Gods intervention and prayers, all of
this calamity will turn into a normal one. This is one of my prayers, my
beliefs that strong faith in God we can be a successful one even in the
midst of trials.
4. Are the TV commercials important? In what way?
TV commercial are the ability to target specific audiences and expand
reach by encouraging further engagement on social media. Advertisers
can target their audience by purchasing ad spots during shows their
intended demographic is likely watching. Creative, imaginative and
engaging ads inspire, excite, convey information and generate brand
loyalty. For me, TV commercial is important, why? Here are some
advantages that I can get: It grabs my attention, as a consumer I
should also consider the creativity of the advertise into reality; It foster
emotion and sympathy, if I was convince with the result of the product
of course I will buy and convince others to try also of what I had
experience; and at the end still the consumer will decide on what to
buy and calculate whether it value everything .
