Last Tuesday, we have attended a talk about the state of campus journalism in Angeles University Foundation.
The assigned group invited the staff of the Pioneer, AUF Official Student Publication and the editors-in-chief of every college paper, namely the Allimed (CAMP), CAS Ideas (CAS), Tradewings (CBA), Datalink (CCS), Teacher’s Pen (CED), Perspective (CE), and Nuscene (CON).
Each editor was given the chance to speak their mind regarding the state of campus journalism in AUF and the challenges they face as campus writers.
The editor in chief of the Allimed, Ms. Sarah Marie Kotowich said that the state of campus journalism in AUF is dead.
I must agree with Kotowich because that is what’s happening in AUF. Freedom of speech is being suppressed from the students because they can’t freely write what they wanted to express on papers. Basically, they are afraid that the Administration may reprimand them and get no support anymore.
But I guess, to make campus journalism be relived again in this University, campus writers must do something to resolve this problem. There are a lot of ways as said by the adviser of the Pioneer, Ms. Heather Bautista to express their liberal minds, without them sounding to be libelous and sarcastic.
There is still time to be freed. Let’s make the move and enjoy the gifts of campus journalism.

"How to be Dead?"
Confine yourself in sepulchral silence.
Sleep in the fire whilst smoking popes.
Pirouttes and cigarettes are both the incubus and succubus in the night.
Remember to play the dead sonata when the piano falls.
Lick rusty barbed wires and write.
Be a hacker but don't visit my site.
Drink cyanide dreams and beer with broken bottles.
Cut your chest, rip your skin and go to battle.
Fight for your right with your chocolate sentiments.
Square off against your worst nightmare.
The Death of Campus Journ, do you care?
I care.
I care.
Hello ann, i know what you're trying to say. We’re masscom students and yet we can't write about the real deal in our campus. I always wondered why? Until I realized that there is no sense of having the freedom to write what we want because it's never going to happen. I know that we must be responsible for our actions and be reasonable enough when we write about something. Though. When I say freedom it’s not about hurting someone in my choice of words or degrading the school itself. What I’m trying to stress is that we should not be silent about our concerns regarding the school. If we feel that we are not convenient or not happy and they are just benefiting from us because we have no say, we should say something or stress our point of views. Although, One thing's for sure even if we write about it nothing's going to change anyway .
Yes!..we do not have campus journalism here in our university!because the Administration controls and manipulates all the activities and writings of the students. It is very saddening especially we know that in other schools they exercise freely their freedom specifically their freedom of speech!
