Student journalists often come into conflict with institutions that use their authority to suppress free expression and censor publications. Threats, harassment and intimidation have become more pervasive, underscoring the need for stronger legal protections for campus journalists.
Through our proposed House Bill No. 8718 or the โCampus Press Freedom Act,โ we seek to repeal Republic Act No. 7079 (Campus Journalism Act of 1991) and address the realities faced by student journalists today. We aim to establish clear safeguards against censorship, guarantee the editorial independence of student publications, and provide the campus press with a reliable source of funding.
Sa disiplina, husay, tapang, at proteksyon sa pag-uulat ng ating mga student journalists, mas mailalantad ang mga baluktot na polisiya, pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan, malalabanan ang fake news at disinformation, at mas maihahayag ang katotohanan hindi lang sa mga kapwa nila mag-aaral kundi pati na sa marami pa nating kababayan.
Defend Press Freedom! Pass HB 8718!
