MASS MEDIA LAW

2. “Every citizen has certain duties of justice.
The degree of importance of these duties
depend, naturally, on the level of relations
with one another.” – Day
The sphere of the duties of Justice does not
always coincide with the sphere of juridical
obligations..why?
because not everything that has to do
with justice can be covered by a law;
Because some civil laws can be unjust.
Therefore, 3 forms:
• Ethical = Legal
• Ethical ≥ Legal
• Ethical ≠ Legal

8. Libel law
A public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice
or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission,
condition, status or circumstance tending to discredit or
cause the dishonor or contempt of a natural or juridical
person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead.
Thus, the elements of libel are:
(a) imputation of a discreditable act or condition to
another;
(b) publication of the imputation;
(c) identity of the person defamed; and,
(d) existence of malice.
[Article 353 of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines; libel is
defined as Daez v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 47971, 31 October 1990,
191 SCRA 61, 67]
9. Libel law
“Words calculated to induce suspicion are sometimes more
effective to destroy reputation than false charges directly
made. Ironical and metaphorical language is a favored
vehicle for slander. A charge is sufficient if the words are
calculated to induce the hearers to suppose and
understand that the person or persons against whom they
were uttered were guilty of certain offenses, or are
sufficient to impeach their honesty, virtue, or reputation,
or to hold the person or persons up to public ridicule. . . . ”
[Lacsa v. Intermediate Appellate Court, 161 SCRA 427 (1988)
citing U.S. v. O’Connell, 37 Phil. 767 (1918)]
10. Libel law
The law also presumes that malice is present in every
defamatory imputation.
Article 354 of the Revised Penal Code provides that:
“Every defamatory imputation is presumed to be malicious,
even if it be true, if no good intention and justifiable motive
for making it is shown, except in the following cases:
1. A private communication made by any person to
another in the performance of any legal, moral or social
duty; and,
2. A fair and true report, made in good faith, without any
comments or remarks, of any judicial, legislative or other
official proceedings which are not of confidential nature, or
of any statement, report or speech delivered in said
proceedings, or of any other act performed by public officers
in the exercise of their functions.”
11. Copyright

of the Philippines,
The law is partly based on United States copyright law and
the principles of the Berne Convention for the Protection of
Literary and Artistic Works. Unlike many other copyright
laws, Philippine copyright laws also protect patents,
trademarks, and other forms of intellectual property.
The law is enforced through a body established by the law:
the Intellectual Property Office, or IPO, and its various
branches. Copyright implementation is done with the
coordination of the IPO and the Copyright Division of
the National Library of the Philippines.
