SJES YOUNG JOURNALIST bags awards in the DSPC 2023

Anybody can be a Journalist. There are opportunities for all of us to contribute to stories.

– Susan E. McGregor

Campus Journalism allows our young journalists to share their thoughts, hone their skills, and give insights into certain issues. It is a good opportunity for our learners to enhance their communication skills and showcase their crafts in the different categories. Pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 7079, also known as the Campus Jouranalism Act of 1991, the City of San Juan conducted the Division Schools Press Conference 2023 last May 30, 2023, at Pinaglabanan Elementary School with the theme “From Campus Journalism to Real-world Journalism: Shaping Minds from Schools to Societies." Many issues were emphasized in each category, and it is up to our young journalists to deliver their views and insights on the said topics. This event served as perfect platform for our SJES Young Journalists to have a glimpse of the real world where they can tell their stories without fear of judgment.
