But even if it’s an empowering tool that connects and builds networks, a main source of information, medium of commerce, and a catalyst for change, social media is also used to bully and commit a wide variety of cyber crimes.   ‘TYBC: Think Before You Click’ aims to educate and raise awareness on how we can all be more responsible users of social media. Featuring Howie Severino, Editor in Chief of GMA News Online as main host, he is also joined by Kara David, Iza Calzado, Jun Veneracion and Elmo Magalona. ‘TBYC’ airs Sunday, November 13 at 8:45 PM, on GMA News TV.   --------------------------   Sa makabagong panahon, ang internet ang pinakamakapangyarihang teknolohiya at pinakamabilis at pinakabagong daluyan o medium ng komunikasyon, na nagluwal sa terminong ‘social media.’  Unti-unti nitong binabago ang pamamaraan kung paano tayo nakikipag-ugnayan sa ibang tao, at maging sa buong mundo.   Sa Pilipinas, umaabot na sa mahigit 30 million na Filipino ang ‘online’ at 24 million dito ang aktibong gumagamit ng social media sa pamamagitan ng Facebook. Pero kahit paraan ito ng pag-uugnay, paghahatid ng kaalaman at impormasyon, daluyan ng komersyo, at intrumento para sa pagbabago, maraming pagkakataon din na nagagamit ang internet sa masasamang paraan gaya ng cyber bullying at cyber crimes.   Ang ‘TYBC: Think Before You Click’ ay isang espesyal na dokumentaryo na may layuning magturo at mag-angat ng kamalayan kung paano tayo mas magiging mas responsableng user ng social media. Tampok si Howie Severino na Editor in Chief ng GMA News Online bilang main host, makakasama rin niya sina Kara David, Iza Calzado, Jun Veneracion at Elmo Magalona. Mapapanood ang ‘TBYC’ sa Linggo, Nobyembre 13, 8:45 ng gabi, sa GMA News TV.
