 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

TV and Radio Broadcasting is the biggest contributor of information whether local and
international. Hence why in school we have school contests and publication every year from school-
based to national school press conference.

Aside from giving information, TV and Radio broadcasting also provide news
and updates about a certain topic to let the viewers and listener knows what is happening around the
society where they live.

In addition to the equipments, the study will also explore the necessary training and
development programs that will enable aspiring student journalists to acquire the necessary skills and
competencies in using these equipments. This includes the provision of workshops, seminars, and
other training activities that will enable students to develop their creativity, storytelling, and critical
thinking skills, as well as their technical capabilities in operating and maintaining the broadcasting
equipments.

The research aims to identify and analyze the necessary TV and radio broadcasting
equipments that need to be provided to fully support the access and skills development of aspiring
student journalists for the upcoming school year 2023-2024.

The study will focus on understanding the specific requirements and technical aspects
involved in establishing a comprehensive broadcasting facility within the school community. This
includes the identification and classification of essential equipments such as cameras, professional
microphones, mixers, video switchers, audio recorders, studio lighting, green screens, teleprompters,
and editing software, among others.

The research will also examine the affordability, reliability, and overall quality of the
chosen equipments, with a particular focus on their suitability for student use and hands-on learning
experiences. The goal is to ensure that the equipments are user-friendly and capable of providing a
realistic broadcast environment that simulates professional broadcasting operations.
 1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In the Philippines, high school students aspiring to become journalists often engage in
various activities to cultivate their passion for media and communication. While formal journalism
courses may not be extensively available at the high school level, students can participate in campus
journalism programs and extracurricular activities.

Some schools organize workshops or training sessions focused on basic journalism skills,
including news writing, feature writing, and photojournalism. These workshops provide students with
a foundation for journalistic principles.

Many high schools in the Philippines have their publications, such as school newspapers or
magazines. Students interested in journalism can join these publications to gain hands-on experience
in reporting, editing, and layout design.

Students often participate in regional and national journalism competitions organized by

organizations like the Department of Education (DepEd) and the National Schools Press Conference
(NSPC). These events allow them to showcase their skills and learn from peers.

Some schools have clubs or organizations related to media, communication, or journalism.

Joining these clubs provides students with a platform to discuss current events, practice writing, and
organize small-scale journalistic activities.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The study LACK OF EQUIPMENTS AND NECESSITIES ON TV & RADIO
BROADCASTING EQUIPMENT THAT WILL HELP IN SKILLS AND ABILITIES
DEVELOPMENT OF ASPIRING STUDENT JOURNALISTS FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 2023-
2024 aims to evaluate the effects to the journalist for not having full access in necessary equipment
and gadgets. The importance of the study is to answer the following questions:

1. Does having access to equipment in journalism improve one's ability?

2. Does the lack of equipment limit your writing skills and such?

The respondents demographic background will be assessed by determining their age, grade
level, address and gender. By doing so, we will be able to know which of the following has the most
respondents. With the shortage of funds, the school have a very low status regarding the equipments
in

terms of radio and tv broadcasting. Hence why the skills of the said journalist cannot be
utilities their full potential. However, whenever a journalist is engaged and immersed in full
equipments it will drastically develop and enhance the skill of the journalist.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
Providing aspiring student journalists with access to a comprehensive set of TV and
radio broadcasting equipment, along with the necessary training and support, will lead to enhanced
skills development and a more well-rounded education in journalism. This, in turn, is expected to
result in improved career readiness and a greater likelihood of success in the field of broadcast
journalism.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

The focus of this study is to determine the necessities and gadgets that the journalist will
need and how having full access to the said gadgets will contribute to the improvement and
development of the skills of the journalist and aspiring journalist. This quantitative research will be
using a descriptive research design where in printed questionnaire will be used as the data gathering
instrument and evaluating the findings of the research study. This study cannot be generalized to those
who are not students of Cauayan City National High School Marabulig-Extension.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

It will help the student journalists to improve their skills in broadcasting by giving them the
right tools they need. This will prepare them better for their future careers in journalism. the teachers
and staff at CCNHS-MEX will benefit from the research by being able to provide better training for
the students with the right equipment.

The overall quality of media productions at CCNHS-MEX will improve, attracting more
viewers and potential partnerships with media organizations. The research will help student
journalists, teachers, staff, and the local community by addressing the lack of equipment in
broadcasting. This research is important because it will help student journalists at CCNHS-MEX
improve their broadcasting skills by providing them with the right tools.

It will also benefit teachers and staff by enabling them to offer better training with proper
equipment. Overall, the study will enhance the quality of media productions at CCNHS-MEX,

equipment deficiencies, the research will support the development of student journalists and improve
the broadcasting program at CCNHS-MEX.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Radio acts like a magic box as it influences and persuades one thought. This study
aimed to determine the level of competency of Junior High School participants in radio
broadcasting for public and private schools in the division of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.
Purposive sampling technique was used to select the respondents and the data were gathered
from the survey which is patterned after DepEd Memo. Frequency distribution, mean and
standard deviation were also used to measure the respondents’ characteristics and
competencies.
Pearson was used to get a significant relationship among variables. Inadequacy of
training, workshops or seminars, lacking of radio broadcast materials, and basic knowledge
and skills have faced by the participants that resulted to low performance. The study
established that the participants were very good in radio anchoring, news presentation,
infomercial, and scriptwriting, but only good in technical application.
Anchoring and news presentation were significantly influenced by the age.
Participants’ sex was found to be significant to anchoring and technical application.
Anchoring, news presentation, infomercial, and technical application were influenced
significantly
by the number of years as members of school-based radio broadcasting. Anchoring
and news presentations have a weak positive relationship to students’ membership to other
clubs/organizations.
All competencies in radio broadcast were correlated in attending related
workshops and seminars. Thus, a communication enhancement plan was crafted to address
the problems faced by the participants.

RELATED LITERATURE

The first broadcasts around the world started in the 1930s with the USA, Germany, and
the UK being some of the first countries that started transmissions. In the 1950s TV became the
preferred medium for homes, replacing radio and movies in the USA [1]. Analog TV standards such
as NTSC (Americas), SECAM (France), and PAL (Europe) have been used since then, employing
VHF/UHF frequency bands for video and only VHF for audio. The picture information was
transmitted using vestigial sideband modulation (VSB) on one channel, whereas audio was
transmitted using FM.

Until the late 1990s, digital television broadcasting to the home was thought to be
impractical and costly to implement, but once the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) alliance was
formed in Europe, it was clear that the analog standards had to give way to all-digital technology. In
this context, digital satellite and cable broadcasting systems were the first ones to be developed,
followed by digital terrestrial television. The first standard was the DVB-S (satellite) in 1993,
followed by DVB-C (cable) in 1994. The DVB-T (terrestrial) was more complex since it was intended
to cope with noise and multipath.

Moreover, it was one of the first commercial wireless systems to use Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) [2]. DVB-T was standardized in 1997 and was not
implemented until 2002. In addition to DVB-T, other popular first-generation DTTB standards were
the Integrated Service Digital Broadcasting - Terrestrial (ISDB-T) in Japan and the Philippines; and
the Digital Television Multimedia Broadcasting - Terrestrial (DTMB-T) in China. In the decade of
2000, further standards were developed. DVB-H, targeted for handheld receivers, was standardized in
2004 [3]. Table 1 gathers the first-generation standards with wide acceptance during the last three
decades [4].

RELATED STUDIES

UPNG journalism students lack staff, equipment

This was revealed this week at the media conference at Hideaway Hotel by the head of the
school, Leo Wafia.

Wafia said students were interested in journalism but were unable to receive the type of
training that would enable them to perform in the newsroom or on the field because of the lack of
equipment.

There are three types of media that students are trained for: print (newspapers), radio and TV
but the university doesn’t have the proper equipment and a newsroom to help prepare them. Like
science students, we need our equipment,” he said.

Wafia said even though UPNG journalism students have a radio station for students, they
had only one video camera for the 43 television media students.
 Campus journalism: Shaping minds from schools to societies

Published on: January 17, 2024

By Rizalie Calibo

Campus newspapers provide a platform that serves as an excellent training ground for
aspiring journalists.

This is how Siquijor Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Rosalie Pasaol describes the
Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) which the Department of Education (DepEd) organizes
regularly.

She said the DSPC is more than just a competition as it offers opportunities for young
journalists to hone their skills.

“It is an opportunity to get exposure, good experience and skills that they can use when they
venture into the real world outside of the school and learn what real journalism is all about,” said
Pasaol in her message during the recent provincial DSPC 2024 in Siquijor.

She added that the annual competition helps the campus journalists sharpen their skills,
articulate their ideas, thoughts, opinions, and views on various issues.

“If people cannot express their opinion properly, they become rebels in society,” Pasaol said.

She also urged writers and their coaches to put a higher value on learning and experience and
not just on winning the competition.

“Winning is just secondary. What is important are the things that you will learn from here,
and later on the things that you are going to apply when you go out outside of the society,” she added.
 2024 DSPC

In Siquijor, aspiring journalists from seven school districts pitted their skills and talents in writing
during the recent DSPC 2024 held at the Candaping National High School in Candaping B, Maria,
Siquijor.

Campus journalists competed in the following categories: news writing, editorial writing, feature
writing, photojournalism, copy reading and headline writing, sports writing, editorial cartooning,
column writing, science and technology writing, and scriptwriting and radio broadcasting.

The first place winners will represent the province in the regional DSPC.

Win or lose, give your best

For Liam Vladimir Bonachita-Eraham, a member of the winning team from Siquijor State College in
the Radio Broadcasting and Scriptwriting – Secondary English Category, the DSPC helped him see
the value of being part of a team.

"Overall, it was a transformative experience as the DSPC has not only sharpened my writing and
broadcasting skills but has also instilled in me a deeper sense of responsibility and teamwork," said
Liam.

His brother, Yuri Demitri Bonachita Eraham, who is part of the same team, is grateful that the
competition also opened doors for him that would help him in his future career.

“Honestly, I was surprised by our victory, as I didn't anticipate winning due to the tight competition.
It's a great feeling to have our hard work paid off, and our victory is a testament to the dedication of
our team. I'm very grateful for receiving the special award for Best in Technical Application and
excited about the doors that winning the DSPC has opened for me and for continued learning and
advancement both academically and as an individual,” said Yuri.
Best News Presenter Francis Jane Inopia, also of the same winning group, said winning would not
have been possible without the cooperation of all members of the group and the full support of the
coach.

“Thanks to them, all our effort did not go to waste. And I am very delighted because I did not just win
a competition but also friendships,” she said.

For 11-year-old Grade 6 pupil Vince Mariae Anding Guillepa from Enrique Villanueva Central
School, participating in the DSPC itself is already a victory.

She said the experience was worthwhile due to the excitement, challenges, and lessons she learned in
the entire day.

“There were many of us (contestants), nakuyawan pud ko (I was nervous) but I was also challenged to
give my best,” Vince said.

Vince won 5th place in the Feature Writing Contest- Elementary English Category.

The National Schools Press Conference is conducted every year in line with Republic Act 7079 or the
Campus Journalism Act of 1991 to promote the growth and development of the campus press.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This research chapter represents the research design, population and sample technique, research
instrument and mot and foremost the procedures and statistical methods that is applied. In this chapter
it focuses mainly on research design and the statistical techniques that is used to address the research
study's research questions.

RESEARCH DESIGN
A descriptive research design is all about describing things or situations without changing
them. Researchers collect data to create a clear picture of what they are studying. This design helps
them understand the current situation and give accurate descriptions of what they’re looking into.

By using this design, you can clearly outline the issues student journalists at CCNHS-MEX
are dealing with because of the limited broadcasting equipment, helping to find ways to improve their
skills development.

It’s a good choice for our study on the lack of equipment and necessities in TV and radio
broadcasting affecting student journalists’ skills and abilities at CCNHS-MEX. With descriptive
research, you can get detailed information about the challenges student journalists face due to
equipment shortages without altering the situation.

POPULATION AND SAMPLE

In this research study the total number of participants in the research study will be twenty
four, they are aspiring and interested in journalism. Both high school and senior high students from
CCNHS MEX during the Academic year 2023-2024. The respondents will be distinguished for this
research study using purposive random sampling

technique.
 10

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The researchers will utilize survey questionnaires through google forms as a necessary tool that will
be answered by high school and senior high school students to get the important data's that will be
needed in the research study. The type of questions that we will used in the study will be mixing
demographic and dropdown questions when asking for the student’s personal profile. While the
questions that the researchers will used in finding the significance to have a complete equipment for
the aspiring journalist and also for the former journalist will be in the form of purposive statements
that can be answered through likerkt scale.
Survey question through Likert scale where proven to be more reliable and effective because it’s
easy to draw conclusions and the data’s gathered are more understandable especially in a descriptive
type of research.
To address the issue of a lack of equipment and necessities for TV and radio broadcasting at
CCNHS-MEX, one way to gather information is by asking aspiring student journalists about their
needs, create a survey to ask students about the current equipment available, what skills they need to
work on, and how the lack of equipment is affecting their learning.
After collecting the survey responses, you can analyze the data to see the big picture. Use numbers
to summarize the equipment situation and understand what skills the students want to improve. You
can also look for connections between certain factors, like how equipment availability affects the
students' skills.
In addition to the survey, you can talk to students and teachers to hear more about their experiences.
By combining what you learn from the survey with these conversations, get a better understanding of
the challenges faced by student journalists at CCNHS-MEX.

Gathering information through simple surveys and conversations can help you better understand the
situation and find ways to improve the skills and abilities of aspiring student journalists at CCNHS-
MEX.

RESEARCH PROCEDURE
In doing the research procedure, the first thing that we researchers will do is to ask I
teacher’s consent upon proceeding with the survey and the researchers will create a letter of
permission for the students upon agreeing to proceed and conduct a survey to the students. Survey
questions will be distributed to the respondents using Google Forms to avoid physical contact for the
safety of everyone. The researchers will be giving the respondents enough time to answer the survey
form. After the researchers obtained the exact number of respondents the researchers will close the
Google forms to accept no more responses. Furthermore, the researchers will proceed on analyzing
the data’s that are gathered in the survey. And the gathered data’s will be stored in a file for data
analysis.
 11
STATISTICAL METHOD
The researchers will use descriptive statistics to logically describe the data gathered in
form of survey about the focus of the study. Descriptive statistics measures the central tendency and
variability of data that were gathered. In addition to that, according to Professor Trochim, this type of
statistical method presents bigger data and summaries in a much more understanding and simpler
way. The results from the survey form will be computed by getting the frequency percentage
distribution and Likert scale. The research design of the study is quantitative where the researchers
will gather data

Through rating scales like Likert. Likert Scale is a type of rating scale that measures
attitudes or opinions in accordance depending on the level of agreement by giving a series of
statements that are related to the focus of the study. This statistical method will give the researchers of
high level of knowledge and comprehension to none because the level of agreement and opinions of
the students have a huge difference and vary from one to another.
 12
CHAPTER IV

Lack of equipment and necessities on TV and radio has been one of the ways on how will
help the students to identify their skills and abilities development of aspiring student journalist in
CCNHS-MEX. This study aims to know the evaluation of effects to journalist for not having full
access in necessary equipment and gadgets.

This research chapter discusses the data analysis that we gathered from 24 student in

CONCLUSION

PROBLEM STATEMENT NO. 1

Does having an access to equipment in journalism improve one's ability?

With the results at hand, having a full access to broadcasting equipments improve one's
ability. Since radio and tv broadcasting is Wie and complex, equipping necessary gadgets and
necessities will allow the journalist not only to utilize their full skill and potential by practicing with
the actual equipments but also to enhance their technical knowledge, familiarization with the
equipment and etc.

PROBLEM STATEMENT NO. 2

Does the lack of equipment limit your writing skills and such?

Overall, the absence of equipment in radio and tv broadcasting can hinder the development of
writing skills due to lack of actual practice and engagement with the equipments. Access to equipment
plays a vital role in providing a comprehensive learning experience and fostering the growth of
writing skills within the mass communication field

RECOMMENDATIONS
For Principal. Propose a resource allocation plan that outline how funding could be obtained to fulfill
the equipment needs of CCNHS - Marabulig Extension student journalist.
For Teachers. Conduct an assessment regarding their needs to identify the specific equipment and
gadgets they believe are lacking and necessary for the skills development.
For Students. Focus on studies that highlight the correlation between access to the necessary
equipments and the enhancement skills among the campus journalists.
For Future Researchers. Based on the result of the study, develop an action plan for implementing
this recommendation and improving the learning environment for the aspiring and current student
journalist. One big thing to do is to find out exactly what equipment and stuff are missing in the
broadcasting places. By knowing these gaps well, future researchers can understand what needs to be
fixed to make things better for student journalists. Also, asking student journalists, teachers, and staff
to join in the research can give good ideas about what they need and what problems they face with
equipment. This can help figure out important areas to make better and come up with good solutions.
