Find Your Voice. Tell Your Story.

Student media gives Lasallian students a platform to write, create, report, and tell stories that matter. Guided by the principles of responsible and ethical journalism and supported by the Campus Journalism Act of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7079), campus publications provide opportunities for students to develop their skills in writing, multimedia storytelling, photography, and other forms of creative expression. Through these experiences, students can amplify diverse perspectives, engage with issues that shape the university community, and become informed and responsible communicators.

The Student Media and Publication Office (SMPO) supports and mentors accredited student media organizations by providing training, guidance, and opportunities that help student journalists and creatives grow.
