REPLAY OF A.Y. 2013-2014: ELEVATE AND ELEVATE 2.0
"The power to mould the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalists of future generations." - Joseph Pulitzer
In line with DZUP Radio Circle's (DZUP RC) mission to share supplementary radio skills to students from the college and the university, we found the need to move beyond radio and place ourselves outside the university to connect with high school students who practice and aspire student journalism.
The two-part Elevate: Student Journalism Workshop has aimed to equip high school students with additional journalistic knowledge. It has also promoted media literacy among budding student journalists. The workshops, which were held in July 2013 and January 2014, were attended by a total of almost 700 students from more than 30 schools in Metro Manila and Luzon.
The following were the categories of the workshops: news writing for print, editorial writing, feature writing, online journalism, photojournalism, copyreading, and radio newscasting & script-writing.
As a part of DZUP RC's 8th year as an organization, we held our very first Elevate during the RC Week along with the other groundbreaking activities of the organization.
Elevate 2.0 (January 18, 2014)
And to continue the promise of influencing and reaching to a wider audience of high school students, we held Elevate 2.0 with greater and bigger preparation. We made sure that these students would be more relevant and competent in their chosen field of media.
Sir Robert Alampay from Interkasyon did a workshop on the power of social media and online journalism
This year, Elevate is going to take things a notch higher in promoting and teaching responsible student journalism.
We are DZUP Radio Circle, the ONLY org that goes ON-AIR!
