LIYAB ‘18–16th NCR-wide Journalism Press Conference

“Lagablab ng Pluma: Pagpapaningas ng mga Pahayagang Pangkampus Bilang Alternatibong Midya”

RASYUNAL:

Mula pa noong 1998, nanguna ang The Torch sa palihan ng pagsulat para sa mga

mamamahayag pangkampus sa sekundarya. Nagsimula ang Liyab bilang Journalism Training

Seminar na nakatuon sa pagsasanay sa pagsulat na karaniwang nilalahukan noon ng nasa 15

paaralan. Nagluwal ang Liyab ng mas marami pang mamamahayag pangkampus na nais

maging bahagi ng palihan at patimpalak kasabay ng kamulatang pampulitika. Sa paglipas ng

panahon, nagkaroon na ng mga patimpalak sa mga kategoryang nakapaloob sa Liyab. Kabilang

ang Gawad Evelyn Pacheco, ang pinakamataas na pagkilala para sa publikasyong nagkamit ng

pinakamataas na puntos at may pinakamabisang pahayagan, magasin at litfolio na nailahok sa

pangkalahatang patimpalak.

Patuloy ang adbokasiya ng The Torch Publications sa pagpapaigting ng responsableng

pamamahayag at pagpapatibay sa mapanuring pagsipat ng mga balita na nailalathala upang

epektibong makatugon sa kamalayang panlipunan. Ngayong taon, malugod na ipagdiriwang

ang ika-16 taon ang kalidad na serbisyo at walang sawang pagtangkilik sa palihan at

pagsasanay para sa mga mamamahayag pangkampus ng mga pampubliko at pribadong

paaralan sa sekundarya (JHS & SHS) sa National Capital Region (NCR).

LAYUNIN:

Ang Liyab ay naglalayong linangin ang kakayahan ng mga mamamahayag pangkampus

sa larangan ng iba’t ibang genre tungo sa ressponsableng pamamahayag. Ang mga talakayan at

pagsasanay ay dinisenyo upang punan ang kaalaman ng mga kalahok sa pagsulat ng balita

(news), lathalain (features), editoryal (editorial), isports (sports), mga sulating pampanitikan

(literary articles), pagkuha ng larawan (photojournalism), at paglalapat (lay-outing).

Sa partikular, ang gawain ay naglalayong:

Matugunan ang mga kailangang pagbabago sa pagsulat sa pamamahayag at panitikan.

Mabigyan ng kalinawan ang mga estudyante sa mga isyung panlipunang umusbong sa

bagong administrasyon at nagbabagong lipunan.

Magkapagsilbi at maging isa sa mga gabay sa paghubog ng mga nag-uumpisang

makabayang manunulat sa sekondarya.

DESKRIPSYON:

Ang mga tagapagsalita sa iba't ibang kategorya ay bantog na mga personalidad sa

mainstream at alternatibong midya, at kapita-pitagang mga propesor mula sa iba’t-ibang

pamantasan. Gaganapin ang dalawang araw na kumbensyong pampahayagan sa ika-3 at 6 ng

Oktubre 2018 sa Pamantasang Normal ng Pilipinas (PNU – Manila). Sa pagtatapos ng bawat

talakayan, lalahok sa on-the-sport writing contest sa bawat kategorya ang mga kinatawang

na mag-aaral mula sa iba't ibang mga pahayagang pangkampus. Magkakaroon ng hiwalay na

paligsahan sa Filipino at Ingles. Kasabay din nito ang patimpalak sa pagkuha ng retrato na

gaganapin lamang sa loob ng pamantasan. May 10 magwawagi sa bawat kategorya na

makatatanggap ng sertipiko bilang pagkilala. Ang unang tatlong tatanghaling

pinakamagagaling na manunulat sa bawat kategorya ay makatatanggap din ng medalya.

Gayunpaman, pararangalan ng Gawad Evelyn Pacheco ang makakalikom ng pinakamaraming

puntos sa patimpalak para sa mga entri ng tabloid, broadsheet, at magasin sa kabuuan ng

palihan.
