where art thou my freedom of expression
we need you badly
please emerge from deep slumber
anybody can wake you up
referring to freedom of
expression,
or of the press, one may
ask,
how free is the campus
press?
do campus writers enjoy
full freedom of expression?
campus press freedom could
be determined
by examining the student
publication in the context
of articles appearing in
the pages of their paper.
absolutely, it reflects on
the quality of the staffers
whether they are of
passive or progressive orientation.
while it is true that
writers sometimes impress readers,
the latter likewise
express their opinions to them.
to give the details of the
functions of a school paper,
this question is raised to
place emphasis
on the importance of it.
what really constitutes a
school paper?
first, a school paper underscores
the importance
of any
published content, as far as the article is concerned.
all the
articles are printed not to degrade the name of the school
but to
put it on a high pedestal by checking irregularities through
constructive
criticism.
any comment verbally or non-verbally used to attack or go
against the school is not totally
destroying the image of the school.
thus, constructive animadversions
upon the internal and external affairs
of the school only serve as
reminders to check irregularities from time
to time–not destructive
criticisms.
canons of journalism take center
stage at all times.
they also serve as a “moral
guide,” not only the journalists
but also the people outside of
the media industry.
there is nothing to worry about,
as long as the writer’s conscience is very clear.
in the end, nobody can question the
campus writers
because they follow what they
think is right for the benefits of everyone.
Second, it paves the way to information taken
from the different sources of
newspaper, magazine
or tabloid which gives emphasis
to the so-called press
freedom on the campus.
it bolsters up the proposition of
smooth journalism
without any drawback to encounter
and to agitate the mind of a
campus writer.
if it is not properly
disseminated and well-presented,
the tendency is that it becomes
complicated
and confusing because of its complexity
and difficult journalistic lingo
and other linguistic diversities.
it also helps in augmenting
vocabularies and learning how
to utter English properly using
the window of journalism
as the other side of
communicative approach.
most often, journalism book gives
us much information
without really dishing out its
key role to society,
as well as its practicality of
learning.
