Abstract

In the Philippines, freedom of the press is tantamount to the right to self-expression of every Filipino. This gave birth to Republic Act 7079, otherwise known as the Campus Journalism Act of 1991. This study seeks to evaluate the implementation of campus journalism in the Schools Division of Tandag City. The study utilized the descriptive-survey research design. There was a total of 96 respondents who were from the public schools which regularly participate in press conferences. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the provisions of R.A. 7079 was utilized in the study. Based on the data gathered, it was found out that the implementation of campus journalism in the division was hampered with issues, challenges, and problems which are directly related to the implementing indicators. The findings further revealed the problems encountered by the schools which pertain to the editorial policies, editorial board, school paper advisership, and financial aspects of campus journalism are serious to very serious as regards to its level of seriousness. To address these problems, a division initiative will be recommended and will be implemented.
