1ST DISTRICT 6 CAMPUS JOURNALISM OLYMPIAD | Are you ready, District 6 journos?
Campus journalists and school paper advisers from District 6 will gather tomorrow, August 25, at Ismael Mathay Sr. High School for the 1st Congressional District 6 Secondary Schools Campus Journalism Olympiad.
About 500 young journalists are expected to participate and showcase their skills across 10 individual categories: News Writing, Editorial Writing, Feature Writing, Column Writing, Science Writing, Sports Writing, Copyreading and Headline Writing, Photojournalism, Editorial Cartooning, and Mobile Journalism.
Winners will be announced on the same day based on the evaluation of the judges who come from the mainstream media, the academe, and the community of former campus journalists who have excelled in their respective categories.
The first placer in each category will earn the title of Olympian.
More than just a competition, the Olympiad serves as a platform to engage more campus journalists in the District and a training ground to sharpen their journalistic skills as they gear up for the District Schools Press Conference next month.
