The Art of Writing in Campus Journalism

  • Print

Last February 13, 2018, the Society of Motivators, Achievers, and Responsible Teachers (S.M.A.R.T) held a seminar on Campus Journalism. The speaker was Dr. Aida S. Villanueva, head of the publication department of Centro Escolar University and a faculty member of Chiang Kai Shek College School of Graduate Studies. Just recently, Dr. Villanueva also made a generous donation of books to the CKS College library.

Dr. Villanueva set the pace of the lecture-seminar by reading the poems “The Taming of the Soul” and “My Thoughts and You”. She then proceeded to discuss the qualities of good writing, as well as the importance of editing. According to her, the art of editing is just as important as learning the art of writing. She also discussed the core principles of journalism.
