The Streisand Effect, UST version. 🙄 Trust out-of-touch academics to mess things up.
RT if you agree that nothing's wrong with the photo. Stop censoring @TomasinoWeb .
What happened to #TomasinoWeb underscores the need to change the law on campus journalism and assert freedom of expression in schools. Why the Law on Campus Journalism in the Philippines Needs to Be Amended #UST #pressfreedom #campusjournalism #AmendCJA pinoypress.substack.com/p/why-the-law-…
And to those still scratching their head over this, the OSA supposedly found it offensive that the students in the picture were wearing a uniform that resembles the uniform of 7-11 workers. 😁 Go ahead, make of it whatever you want. 🙄
Thomasian student activists assemble outside the P. Noval Court to protest against what they said was "media censorship" by the Office for Student Affairs (OSA). This came after online media organization TomasinoWeb announced a temporary halt to its social media operations
More than being elitist, what prompted the school’s action is just simple arrogance, fueled no doubt by the knowledge that they can get away with anything. Because school admins have been violating campus press freedom with impunity.
[STATEMENT] Stop censoring the campus press Any imposed takedown, especially over an imagined slight and not because of a factual or ethical lapse, erodes press freedom and the independence of the press.
Headscratcher, this one.
JOURN INSTRUCTOR RESIGNS AS TOMWEB ADVISER BREAKING: The adviser of TomasinoWeb has submitted his resignation to the Office for Student Affairs (OSA), effective immediately. In his resignation letter, journalism instructor Leo Laparan said the "recent turn of events has
I wish interviewers would retire the "talk about" trope. (You know: "Talk about how you felt that day.") First, it's uncool to give your subject commands. Second, it smacks of, "Fill some time for me." Just ask good questions and have a conversation!
And many of these vlogs are vectors of disinformation. The Philippine press needs to recognize this reality and step up its game. It cannot lose by default.
According to the report, half of all Filipino users aged 16 to 24 watch vlogs or influencer videos per week at 50.7%, the highest in the world and more than twice the global average. trib.al/mta5u5l
Violations on campus are done with impunity.
Hope our legislators will look at how relevant the Campus Journalism Act of 1991 is. Press freedom repression begins at schools where career academic officials coerce student journos into silence.
This is an important story. Why are Facebook users the ones exploring the accuracy of the claims, and not journalists?
If they own it, why are they destroying it?
JUST IN: BFAR says China using cyanide in Bajo de Masinloc to “intentionally destroy” the traditional fishing grounds of Filipinos. BFAR chief info officer Nazario Briguera: “These Chinese they intentionally destroy BDM to prevent Filipino fishing boats to fish in the area.”
7. “Lawmakers are..." Similar to "authorities," the word "lawmakers" lumps diverse politicians with very different viewpoints together. For clarity, specify which legislators support or oppose an issue.
6. “In other news..." This old-school transition feels archaic in the hyperlinked, on-demand news environment. A smoother way to connect stories is needed.
The Overused and Outdated: Cliches in Philippine Journalism 🧵 (Reply with yours) 😅 1. “Authorities are investigating..." This pops up almost as a default whenever a crime or incident occurs. It adds little insight and becomes a filler phrase rather than useful information.
This piece only underscores the need for Ph journalists to specialize. #ShortShriftJournalism should be dead by now.
