Key Concepts for Media Literacy

Fair Dealing and Copyright

Research: You may use copyright research for things of educational purpose, or for a personal purpose. Taking pieces from chapters in books may be allowed if the use of information is relevant to the research.  

Education: For educational purposes you may use copyrighted material, under fair dealing. This is allowed for non profit education. You may be allowed to use a whole article or video if it has relation to your educational learning.

Review: When reviewing copyright material, you may include certain points and quotes from the copyright piece, but you may not use the full article, video, etc. There are limits as to how much you can review copyright material, as you should only use enough information from it to help create your own review.

News Reporting: News reporters may require the use of copyrighted material, like short texts or clips from video footage that has relation to current events. As long as the subject is based on the current events there is an exception to copyright for news reporting. As long as the material is fair, the news reporter may use copyrighted material to provide information in relation to the event.

Understanding Copyright

Poem, musical Score

If the purpose of using the copyright work is for educational purposes, and it's being distributed as a class handout, the use is permitted under fair dealing. You may copy the entire poem or musical score for the purpose of education.

Book

If the purpose of using the copyright work is for educational purposes, and it's being distributed as a class handout, the use is permitted under fair dealing as long as you may copy approximately 10 per cent or a full chapter.

Audiovisual (Film, TV Show), Sound Recording

If the purpose of using the copyright work is for educational purposes, and it's being distributed as a class handout, the use is permitted under fair dealing. You may present an audiovisual or sound recording in class as long as the copy was obtained legitimately (e.g., owned, borrowed, rented) and your audience consists primarily of students, instructors, or any person who is directly responsible for setting curriculum for the school.

Rock out with your socks out: 5SOS Edition

Fans of 5 Seconds of Summer were ecstatic here in Toronto last night after seeing the boys perform live at their sold out show! 5SOS released their second platinum selling album “Sounds Good Feels Good” fall of last year and fans still can't get enough of the Australian heartthrobs. The Toronto streets were packed surprisingly with people of all ages waiting to get in to see the boys. Here's a quote from our interview with the Aussies before their show that Micheal Clifford had stated, “We love coming back to Toronto; it's such blast every time we're here! The fans are always in good spirit and are ready to rock out with us, its awesome!”

We were so thrilled to hear that! The boys started off playing their newest single “Girls Talk Boys” and ended the night with a classic favourite “She looks so perfect”. Unfortunately, before the show happened the streets were so crowded with raging fans police were called upon the scene to make sure everyone walking got through safely and the traffic could get by the pedestrians. Luckily no one got hurt and the fans rocked the night away.

“That was the best concert I've ever been to!” Cried an excited fan after the show, “Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton put on one of their best shows yet on tour! I definitely recommend going to see them live as they are truly beyond amazing performers and know how to entertain a crowd!”

With all this excitement we can't wait for the boys to hopefully return again next year with another mind blowing concert!

Starting with the Basis

At the beginning of October, Kim Kardashian West was spending some vacation time in her Paris apartment when she was faced with a vicious robbery, threatening her life. Stolen from her was millions of dollars worth of jewelry, including her $5 million ring. The robbers broke in and tied Kim up, holding her hostage at gunpoint.

The lead is effective because it's an update on the armed robbery of Kim Kardashian west. It makes people want to read about the new updated alert.

This is a quote found in the article by Jean Veil, her Paris-based lawyer.

"She is very calm and very determined over a matter that was particularly violent. If she is summoned to France, she will come to France, but judges also have the possibility of moving [to the United States]."

The  most important information told first was recapping what was shared in the first news article on the topic. This new update tells us what was stolen and how Kim is doing since the scary robbery.

The story had a good ending. It gave us all the new updated information but was suspenseful, to have the reader wanting more.
