ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT IN JOURNALISM

SY 2021-2022

I. Introduction

Campus journalism allows aspiring student- writers to practice their craft.

This exercise is important enough for a law to be enacted, the Campus
Journalism Act of 1999, which enables the development and promotion of
campus press.
As Randy Pausch said, “When you do something young enough and you
train for it, it becomes a part of you.” Inculcating proper media values, tradition,
ethics, and skill to young journalists is a must, especially now that local media, at
least online, is saturated by short-form, often redundant, and regurgitated
content.
Student journalists and publications play a vital role in informing their fellow
students about campus events, serving as a check on their school's administration,
and uncovering stories that outside media might miss.

II. Activities and Accomplishments:

It is quite unfortunate that because of the pandemic, we did not have the
usual press conference that the campus journalists and coaches really look forward
to every year. However, the Schools Division of Sarangani do not want to make the
student- writers idle that’s why a Virtual Division Schools Press Conference was
conducted on November 16-18, 2021.
It aimed to update participants on the latest trends, approaches, and
principles of journalistic writing in view of the new normal in education. It also sought
to promote the right to access information, knowledge, and data necessary to
strengthen journalistic values. The said training-workshop also aimed to select best
written outputs in each category in English and Filipino.
The categories in both English and Filipino include News Writing, Editorial
Writing, Science and Technology Writing, Photojournalism, Feature Writing, Sports
Writing, and Editorial Cartooning.
Ticulab Elementary School was represented by two (2) campus journalists
and two (2) school paper advisers during the said virtual DSPC.
