GMA Network’s responsible social media campaign clicks
“Think before You Click,” GMA Network’s campaign to promote the responsible use of social media, was recently honored with the 2011 Civility Star Award by the Civility Counts Project, a global initiative of the Association of Image Consultants International.
The Kapuso Network became the first broadcast news organization in the Philippines to take a stand against cyberbullying when it launched the campaign last July.
The “Think before You Click” documentary airs on October 9 at 8:45 p.m. on GMA News TV Channel 11. Featuring Howie Severino, Kara David, Jun Veneracion, Iza Calzado and Elmo Magalona, it examines the boundaries and influence of the Internet and social media.
