Our class sponsored a colloquium last Tuesday regarding the state of campus journalism in our school today. It was attended by all the editors in chief of different college papers and of the official student publication of the school.
I remember what the adviser of the Pioneer Ms Heather Bautista said that campus journalism is very poor in our school which I agree. Campus journalism in our school is very poor because of suppression of the freedom of speech. It’s really saddening that compare to other schools we cannot exercise freely our right to expose negative issues in our campus.
In the forum my classmates raised some questions like;
“What keeps them going if they cannot exercise their freedom of speech”?
“How can they write against the admin that it won’t look like negative”?
There were lots of question still left hanging in the wind…
The challenge for us student is to actively participate and contribute something in our campus. We shouldn’t just sit and wait for change in our campus; we should act and not be passive on the issues that are happening in our school.
