This act has become so mundane that learning about it has become taken for granted. People tend to overlook the fact that the media has the power to spread false information and even instill social constructions to the consciousness of the public. Indeed, there is a constant need for the public to be educated in their consumption of media. This will be an attempt to liberate the people from conservative culture and reactionary politics.
“Out of The Box” – where “box” refers to television – signifies escaping and going beyond the boundaries that media has set. Also, it refers to challenging beliefs and repositioning of perspectives. WHO WE ARE
Out of The Box (OOTB) is a non-government organization that works to mainstream media literacy practices in the Philippines through campaigns, workshops, and educational resources. OOTB was founded on August 2014 by three Journalism graduates from UP Diliman: Sarah Torres, Marlon Nombrado, and Darlene Cay. WHAT WE DO
