The writers went through a series of talk on news, feature, headline and opinion writing, photojournalism, and blogging facilitated by Ms. Yvonne Chua and Ms. Luz Rimban, the two top print journalists and editors in the country today.
“I found feature writing as the toughest workshop we had”, Ms. Rizza Ramos of BukSU answered when asked about the most difficult part of the workshop after the workshop. “Unlike news that is straightforward, you need to provide a very good picture of the event taking place”.
“This workshop was conceived during a meeting in Bacolod with the iSchools project managers and Ms. Toni Toress of the CICT”, said Mr. Nilo Banlawe of the Western Philippines University during the opening of the workshop. “We saw the need to document what is happening from the start to the conclusion of the project.”
The writers were tasked to develop an online journal in blogspot.com as the host website of the SUCs iSchool sites. “The iSchools blogs we created here will help the commission updated what is happening around the partner SUCs in the implementation of the project”, Rimban said. Rimban was the speaker in on-line blogging session.
