SMIT Campus Journalists Gear Up for Responsible and Future-Ready Journalism

Empowering the next generation of truth-seekers! 📰✍️

A total of 68 aspiring and young campus journalists from Southern Mindanao Institute of Technology, Inc. (SMIT) successfully completed a dynamic two-day Campus Journalism Seminar-Workshop last August 6–7, 2026, at the SMIT Function Hall.

Carrying the theme “Truth in the Digital Age: Strengthening Ethical Journalism and Digital Storytelling for Future-Ready Campus Journalists,” the training brought together dedicated writers and broadcasters from across grade levels:

🌟 14 members of The Gasera Editorial Staff

🌟 34 Junior High School students

🌟 19 Senior High School students

Building Core Skills for the Digital Age
The participants immersed themselves in intensive training across three major areas of campus journalism, handled by esteemed resource speakers:

News and Opinion Writing — Led by Don Joshua A. Gragasin, who guided students in mastering news values, crafting compelling leads, and upholding accuracy, responsibility, and critical thinking.

Photojournalism — Facilitated by Engr. Marlo Fel C. Paradero, who introduced the power of visual storytelling, teaching participants how to capture significant moments while maintaining context and ethical standards.

Radio Broadcasting — Trained by Raquel W. Siason, who focused on broadcast fundamentals, effective delivery, teamwork, and the responsible dissemination of information on-air.

Shaping Voices for the Future
More than just technical training, the seminar emphasized the vital role of young writers in promoting truth and ethical communication online. This initiative serves as a powerful launchpad to build a stronger pool of campus journalists at SMIT, preparing them for upcoming competitions—including the much-anticipated Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) 2026.

As the event concluded, participants were reminded of a central truth: Journalism is not just about writing stories—it is about seeking the truth, telling stories responsibly, and giving a voice to our community.

Kudos to all our campus journalists and mentors! Keep shining and soaring high, SMITians! 🦅✨
