Rationale: Campus Journalism is an integral subject in
the BSED-English Communication Arts curricula which exposes students to
different aspects of writing: i.e. news writing, editorial writing, feature
writing, sports writing, and the essential qualities of writing. This course
also provides venue for the student – teachers to explore the real world of
journalism through actual news coverage, investigative reporting and
interviewing to gather news and issues of our time. It will afford them the
chance to experience the life of a broadcaster, journalist and a commentator.
This course is designed
to acquaint the students with the theories and principles of campus journalism.
