With inquisitive minds and eager spirits, school paper adviser Dr. Ermetes F. Adolfo Jr, and editor in chief Carlo B. Galicia of The Access attended the National Seminar-Workshop on Campus Journalism held at the Baguio Teachers’ Camp.
As the delegates of the Cebu Province Division, they joined with more than 500 participants from different parts of the country for a lecture on the theme ”The School Governance in the 21st Century: A Catalyst for a Social Change.”
Talks and activities on subjects like The Mass Media and the School Paper and on Investigative Journalism were featured on the 3-day event.
The event is said to develop the skills and knowhow of advisers and student-editors in managing the school publication and to encourage the advocacy of Campus Journalism in the formation of a better society.
This kind of activity gives an avenue for connection between schools; more than that, this also gives in depth idea of all the publication staffers to be aware of their jobs and responsibility in the school and society.
ReplyDeletein other words, this activity provides good and newly fresh ideas or insights for the school publications.
