Guided by the theme “Upholding Truth and Innovation: Empowering Louisian Journalists in the Digital Age,” the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao, through the Advancement Office, conducted a Seminar on Journalism and Team-Building on April 23, 2026, at the N-Hall, gathering student journalists from various campus publications.
The morning session commenced with an inspirational message from University President, Rev. Fr. Macwayne N. Maniwang, CICM, PhD, who underscored the vital role of truth and accuracy in journalism. He emphasized that student journalists carry the responsibility of ensuring that every published content reflects integrity, fairness, and accountability, especially in today’s fast-paced digital environment.
Highlighting the seminar were the insightful talks from invited speakers who shared their expertise on timely and relevant topics. Dr. Chelito A. Malamug, a professor from Cagayan State University, delivered a discussion on Responsible Journalism, stressing the ethical obligations of writers in verifying information and combating misinformation. Meanwhile, Sir Christian L. Dulin, LPT, a college instructor from the School of Education, Criminology, Arts, and Psychology, explored the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Journalism, presenting both its advantages and the ethical considerations that come with its integration in news writing.
Both sessions encouraged active participation from student journalists, fostering meaningful discussions and reflections on their roles as emerging media practitioners.
In the afternoon, a team-building activity was conducted to strengthen camaraderie among participants coming from different student publications across the university. Through a series of engaging physical activities, the student journalists were able to build connections, promote teamwork, and enhance collaboration—reinforcing the spirit of unity within the Louisian media community.
The whole-day event not only enriched the participants’ knowledge and skills in journalism but also cultivated a deeper sense of responsibility, cooperation, and innovation among Louisian student writers.
