I admit I was a bit anxious before my two-week on-campus sessions for an MA Journalism course started almost two weeks ago. We were required to read volumes of articles on various topics on journalism, ethics, philosophies, and media law. I was told to also expect sleepless nights. Now that it is ending, I feel [...]

I’m down to my last few days in my on-campus sessions for my MA program in Journalism here at Ateneo. I hope to be back in circulation next week. Wohoo! Lessons learned so far: there are like-minded journalists in the Asia Pacific region who are also aiming for excellence in their profession. Of course, it [...]

I’m back to school, studying journalism (again). More than 10 years after I finished College, I see how school has evolved. Students are now donning their laptops in campuses. They thrive in so much information. Back then, I was lucky to find the latest magazine in the library. Today, much of the information is found [...]
