A Brand New Viewpoint Kicks Off Paper Overhaul

Student writers of Araullo University - PHINMA who attended the
 recently concluded News Writing and Press Workshop.

Sandigan, the University’s official student publication, looks forward to a major transformation as the Center for Student Development and Leadership (CSDL) initiates changes in the school paper, with the name Viewpoint defining its reinvention.

CSDL’s Student Welfare and Community Involvement (SWCI) coordinator Darren J. Gonzales proposed to modify the identity, format and the system of the publication together with the existing members of its editorial board as well as a new breed of writers; he believes that the school paper is “our product”, a reflection of the students’ potentials as individuals and the University’s accomplishment of its vision and mission.

As a headstart, the CSDL conducted a Basic News Writing and Press Workshop last July 8 under the mentorship of Mr. Joseph G. Navarro, Public Relations, Communications and Events Officer of Caritas Manila, Inc.

Aside from trainings on campus journalism as part of the intended improvement, Viewpoint will be brought to an online platform through a blog to conform with the students’ inclination to social media as well as elicit instant feedback from them. Darren Gonzales
