The Warden Publication, together with other student journalists from different publications and organizations across the country, joined the journalism webinar organized by The Wheel, the official student publication of the College of Administration, Business, Hospitality, and Accountancy of Southern Luzon State University’s Lucban (SLSU) Campus, with the theme “Layag III: Navigating the Depths and Shallows for Stronger Foundations of Student Journalism” last November 11, 2023, via Zoom and Facebook live.

Mr. Jefry Corullo Canoy, Chief of Reporters of ABS-CBN News, served as the guest speaker for the webinar. The discussion centered on the importance of journalism and how it differs from other forms of information, such as propaganda, promotion, and entertainment. Mr. Canoy also talked about creating messages that matter. In addition, he also gave the meaning of news and the importance of character. He also discussed the power of storytelling and why do journalists have to aim for the heart.

Students participated in a series of discussions, competitions per category, an icebreaker, and an open forum. It gave room for the student’s skills to be empowered in their competitions, which comprised photojournalism and news writing for English and Filipino categories, in which different publications’ representatives participated.

The winners of the icebreakers, photojournalism, and news writing for English and Filipino were announced on The Wheel Publication Facebook page. <w>
