MAJORSHIP Area: ENGLISH Focus: Campus Journalism - LET Competencies: Apply the principles and strategies in writing the various parts (e.g. editorial, news, feature story, etc.) of a campus paper ORIGIN OF CAMPUS JOURNALISM On a 4" x 6" sheet of paper, Samuel Fickle Fox penned the first issue of The Students Gazette on July 11, 1777 at the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia, USA. Published continuously until August 1778, when the British soldiers closed the school, The Gazette is recognized as the first student publication in the English-speaking world. In the Philippines, The University of the Philippines started publishing its magazine College Folio in October 1910 and printed the works of the first promising writers in English. In 1912 the graduates of Manila High School published their English writings in The Coconut. The following year, 1913, the Philippine Normal School introduced its publication, The TORCH. The UP Writers Club which was organized in 1927 had its literary organ, The Literary Apprentice which became the most prestigious college literary publication in the country. At about this time UST's Varsitarian began to see publication. JOURNALISM IN GENERAL Definition of Journalism The word journal comes from the Latin word diurna which means "daily." In ancient Rome, short bulletins of battles, fires, and elections compiled by government officials were posted up in public places. These were called acta diurna which meant "daily events." Other definitions of journalism: The occupation of writing for publication in newspapers and other periodicals. – Noah Webster Something that embraces all forms in which or through which the news and comments on the news reach the public. All that happens in the world, if such happenings hold interest for the public, and all the thoughts, actions, and ideas which these happenings stimulate, become basic materials for the journalist.- Fraser F. Bond Enjoyable co-curricular activity of the school paper staff in collecting, organizing, and presenting news; in writing editorials, columns, literary articles, and features; in copyreading, proofreading, dummying, and writing headlines – all for the purpose of putting out a school organ. – School Paper Advisers of the City Schools of Manila Scope of Journalism Journalism may be divided into three areas: written, oral, and visual Periodicals such as newspapers and magazines fall under written journalism. A periodical, defined broadly, is a publication that comes out at regular intervals – daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, annually, etc. A newspaper, compared to a magazine, prints more news, has no special cover, and is printed on a special paper called newsprint. News is printed on the front page as well as on the inside and back pages. A magazine, on the other hand, prints more features and human interest stories, has a special cover usually with a big cut on it, and is often printed on bookpaper. If ever news is printed, it is brief, featurized, and found in the inside pages. Periodicals, brochures, journals, books, and graphic arts are classified under print media. Radio falls under oral journalism, while television, movies, and documentaries are under visual journalism. Radio and television are examples of broadcast media while movies and documentaries are examples of film media. Campus Journalism " 1...
