INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

President Carlos P. Romulo once quoted. Print is a powerful instrument in

molding society. If we have to trace back into our own national history we will find out

how the early Filipino newspapers such as the La Solidaridad and Kalayaan under the

editorship of Lopez Jaena revealed the cruelty of barbaric Spaniards as they colonized

our country. These nationalistic newspapers lamented the awfully wretched conditions

of the Philippines and totally exhorted the Filipinos to be patriotic and to fight the

injustices of the Spanish authorities in the Philippines. These notable works of the early

Filipino journalistsawaken the minds of the Filipinos to be reunited and fight for their

freedom against the foreign invaders.

Indeed, by simply putting out the various happenings in our society in just a sheet

of paper and spread it to the people it will surely bring big changes in their lives. It has

the power to influence people especially those who have deep concern to the

community where they belong. And thats the prime duty of journalistic writing.

It is also the purveyor of truth and nothing but the truth. It is therefore necessary that

journalist and the aspiring journalist will maintain its loyalty to TRUTH.

As time passes by, the students interest in writing has been deteriorated

because of some factors that affect their ability to write. But it is more upsetting when

students are no longer conscious in the environment where most of their daily activities

are taking place-their academic community. To where they acquire the best subject of

their writings when they dont even bother to awaken their unconscious minds and

passive senses about the current events in school as well as in their community?

Writing is a powerful instrument to voice out the sentiments of students concerning the

management of school, the condition of their learning environment, the treatment of the

instructors towards them and the various activities of students inside and outside the

school campus to name a few.

To learn how to keep in touch about the current issues of the community is one

main concern why journalistic writingis being taught in school. It is a must then for a

huge institution like PSU Lingayen Campus to produce and train students that have

passion for writing to engage them in journalism. This form of writing serve as a chief

purveyor of information about the internal and external transactions of school with

reliable and accurate facts put in a meaningful context. It also offers a voice to the

voiceless concern people about things that need to reform and improve in the university.

Venturing into this kind of endeavor will also develop the credibility of the students as

well as to fortify the accuracy of their works in weighing facts and evidences.

Journalistic writing comprises a various area of subject that maybe talk about

current issues, social relevance, sports, entertainment and recreations, travelogue, as

well as literature. It depends on which area does a certain student shows of great

interest.

It is likewise necessary that we have to give serious attention regarding this

matter by determining and analyzing the various factors that may affect the journalistic

writing performance of the students.

Significance of the Study

To echo the purpose of this study, the results will be of a great importance to the

following:

Second Year BSE English students of S.Y. 2012-2013. This study is of a great

cost to the second year BSE English student (the subject of this study) so that they

become aware of their responsibilities not only to their desire to teach English subject

but also to make their self as vehicle in disseminating credible and reliable information

to their fellow students by means of honing their journalistic writing skills.

addendum, they will be aware of what area in journalism does a certain student fit in

(maybe in news, feature, editorial, copy reading, literary, sports, etc.)

Staff and members of school paper of PSU Lingayen campus . This will serve

as the guide and basis of the members and staff of school publication of PSU Lingayen

campus on how they will improve the potentials of an aspiring student that wish to be

part of their organization.

School Administrators. With the sound basis of this study the school

administrator shall be given with the proposal to organize more trainings, seminars and

workshop on campus journalism to open door of opportunities in mending the skills of

students in journalism.

Other Researchers. This study will somehow help other researchers most

especially when conducting a research with this studys similar nature. The information

enshrined here will give them a deeper understanding on how journalistic writing

became indispensable in the lives of the student, how to acquire better and refine

journalistic writing performance as well as its effect in enhancing their sensitivities

concerning the prevailing issues and current events in the university.

To sum up, the essence of this study is of wide perspective. From the pebble-like

considerations up to the most valued importance; this study enunciates the impact of

honing the potentials of II-BSE English in journalistic writing; the affirmation of truth that

stating the different undertakings of school through journalistic writing is a great aid in

transforming the school into a more responsive institution notable of its promotion for

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter presents the review of related literature and review on related

studies which will guide the researchers in the conduct of the study.

Related Literature

"They are a dying breed." Ugland used this phrase to describe journalists. He

said an increasing number of students are choosing to enter other communications-

related fields like advertising and public relations because they are more profitable

professions. The trends of blogging and online news sources are also taking potential

jobs away from journalists because many people do not get their information from

traditional sources like newspapers anymore. This leads potential journalism majors to

believe that they will not have jobs upon graduation, and as a result, Ugland said there

has been a "brain drain away from journalism schools and toward programs like

medicine and law

"Documents are the backbone of great reporting," saidFrank LoMonte, executive

director of the Student Press Law Center.Documents cannot forget. Documents do not

try to mislead, and can offer context and value in an alternative way to interviews and

Google searches.

The wealth of information now available on the Internet does not replace the

value of a records request. Searching for records online can be useful, but can become


9/33

daunting or result in inaccurate findings. LoMonte said there is a perception that the

Web provides unlimited information so there is no need for government records

anymore. He stressed the importance of tracing information back to the right source.

Roving reporter Nisalooks at some of the qualities you should develop if you

want to be a good journalist.

Qualities of a Good Journalist

1. Be inquisitive.A good journalist is one who is nosey .A good journalist is one

who is curious and burns with the desire to know what is going on in the world.

2. Be a skeptic.A good journalist is one who doesn't take things on face value.

Press releases or information given to them from people pushing for a certain agenda is

only a starting point for a good journalist. Good journalists question sources and are

always prepared to dig around until they get facts they are satisfied with.

3. Be determined. A journalist knows the difficulty in finding information,

especially when certain people won't agree to be interviewed. Nevertheless, they are

determined to get over the toughest hurdle and bring a difficult story out into the open.

What may start off seeming to be a simple news story can require hard work and

determination.

4. Have a good grasp of general knowledge.A good journalist is one who knows

something about everything. They are well-informed news junkies especially in the area

of politics, current affairs and law. There are plenty of ways to improve your general


10/33

10

knowledge, from watching TV quiz shows and doing the newspaper quizzes to online

searches, playing board games or even using your local or school library to access

things like atlases, dictionaries and encyclopedias.

5. Be trustworthy..When people trust you enough to give you confidential or

private information, it is your duty as a journalist to not make that information publicly

available. The best journalist is one who has strong ethical and moral codes of conduct

that help them determine what information to write and what to leave out.

6. Develop a passion for accuracy.A good journalist is one who double- and even

triple-checks the spelling of names and gives the correct details of the events that took

place. Journalists need to have an eye for detail and not be afraid to ask questions

again and again to ensure accuracy.

7. Be motivated and enthusiastic.A good journalist is one who does not give up

easily and one who has thick skin. There will be times when a journalist won't be able to

find interesting stories to write up, or people who are willing to talk to them. Regardless,

a good journalist maintains a high level of motivation whatever the situation may be.

8. Develop good writing skills. Wherever a journalist may work, whether in print,

radio, TV or online, they have to write. Depending on the time constraints, a good

journalist is one who writes articulately, succinctly and quickly in an interesting and

relevant way that appeals to readers.

9. Be responsible and fair.A good journalist is one who is able to take personal

responsibility for what they write. They must keep in mind that there will be people who


11/33

11

will be upset because they disagree with the angle of the story or because they wanted

their story to be given more importance.

Either way, a journalist must be fair all the time and maintain a level of objectivity in

what they report.

10. Be competitive.It is difficult to get a job in mainstream media as a journalist.

The industry is highly competitive and only few get selected. Nevertheless, there are

many other opportunities for journalists as long as they are determined, competitive and

have the skills noted above. Just make sure you get your foot in the media door..

According to Ramirez, the demands of the noblest profession are 1) skill, 2)

intelligence and 3) integrity. Skill involves the mechanics, and ability to write correctly.

Good grammar and style are the sum of journalistic skill. A good journalist must be able

to say something and make sense. He knows the purpose of his writing. Thats what

makes him intelligent. Integrity is concerned with honesty of motives, with capacity for

truthfulness and commitment to ideas. Writing is mostly an art of persuasion, getting

people to accept and believe what you write.

Related Studies

a.) Foreign studies:

American Newspaper Publisher Association (2004), study is all about the

readership in America. They found out that every day, more people get news from

newspaper than any other medium like television, radio, etc. Also, more professional

are more likely to rely on newspaper for information.

Y2M: Youth Media Marketing Network (2008), a Boston Based Company,

provide content management for 450 College Newspaper. The study of Y2M reveals

that 90 percent of the respondents said they read campus paper for news, 59 percent

read for opinions and commentary and 41 percent for entertainment.

A study conducted by Alloy Media Marketing (2005), announce the result of

readership survey of more than 1,200 college students from 550 Universities across 50

states. The study shows that majority of the students read News (65 percent) followed

by sports(59 Percent)

Dupont (2000)study entitled Exploring the relationship Between Media Source

and Current Events Knowledge. In this study, he concluded that newspaper is reckoned

to be the best source of information. Conclusions such as these had been probably

based on the news contents that provide to the people.

b.) Local Studies

With consideration for the study in honing ones journalistic writing skills, the

study ofCruz(2003) regarding the history and development of journalism in secondary

schools in Manila, has pertinent findings related to how the student publication works,

and is affected by certain factors. In his study, he sought to determine the events

pertaining to the establishment, growth and development of paper publications in order

to find out the specific problems being met by the journalism teacher-advisers and the

student-writers in publishing the materials. He made use of the historical method in

narrating the development of campus journalism in the schools where publications were

used as the materials of his study.


13/33

13

His study revealed that the problems encountered by the school publications

were: the dearth of journalistic inclinations among students; the slim chance by which

school papers are to be printed or published; the students poor grasp of the English

language; the ignorance of the journalistic style in writing; and the papers low

readability score.

The researcher suggested solutions to these problems. He proposed that there

should be more school paper clinics, more in service trainings and and seminars,

professional growth and participation in campus paper competitions..

Balbido (2000) made a survey on the effects of the mass media (radio and

newspaper) to enlighten Boholano community in the following aspects: education,

social, moral, economic, and culture. He found that newspapers simply refresh the

community in different aspects of education that have been already disclosed by a good

number of professionals. While most of the students realized that newspapers minimize

illiteracy among the people, the professional believed that newspapers bring about good

effect of the social in the community, keep abreast the community on the changes of

time, and carry means to attack the common problems faced by the community is when

they present bright ideas of the countrys leading economists and industrials.

Manaois (2000) came out with the inventory of the common errors or difficulties

of the student writers. While she noted that most student writers do encounter writing

difficulties, some have shown potential skills and confidence. Thus, she recommended

further research using heterogeneous group and the teaching of high school journalism

with emphasis on development orientation.

Blanco (2005) undertook a study in the University of the Philippines to find out

what language or languages students use in their daily interaction with various people in

different situation. His respondents were 355 randomly selected graduate students and

265 undergraduate students of the college of business administration and 606 graduate

and undergraduate students of the college of education. With the use of the

questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument, the following were the findings.

1. English is predominantly used as the medium of communication in

government, education, business and religion.

2. Filipino is used in informal, familiar, and intimate situations and language

mixing is resorted to in daily conversations making use of Filipino structures

with English and Spanish contents.

Synthesis of the Reviewed Literature and Studies

The various studies used here are contributors to the fund of knowledge

gathered from remnants to produce a woven statement in honing the journalistic writing

skills of the second year BSE English.

The study of American Newspaper Publishers Association (2004), Y2M:

YouthMedia Marketing (2005), Alloy Media Marketing(2005) and Dupont (2000) dealt

with the perception on the foreign newspapers and on the readers interest. These

studies have connection to the present research because one factor that this study

considers in honing the journalistic skills of second year BSEEnglish is to be expose in

various media sources such as readingnewspapers. This will help them a lot to be


15/33

15

informedabout current ideas, events and conflicts that will arouse their interest and

curiosity in their community. The information gained in reading newspaper will also

provide them the best subject in fortifying their journalistic writing skills.

Unlike the study of Cruz(2003) and Manaois(2000) that tackled the difficulties

experienced by the student journalist, this study encompasses on how to maximize the

potentials of Second year BSE English in journalistic writing.

The study of Balbido(2000) that gave importance to awareness in mass media

and the research conducted by Blanco(2005) that determined the language frequently

used by students in communicating with various people these factors are consolidated

in this study for it undeniably play a very vital role in honing the journalistic writing skills

of the respondents.

The present study centered on the demands of journalism that will determine the

level of the work performance of the second year BSE English in honing theirjournalistic

writing skills.

Conceptual framework

This research will determine the level of the performance of the

respondents in the demands of journalism that will affect in honing their
