ORG LANG YAN! Finding Your Place as a Student Journalist
Org life can often be hectic, especially for a campus journalist who needs to always be on the dot in reporting news. But when the deadlines stack up and the pressure starts weighing in, having a tight-knit relationship with your fellow orgmates can make it worthwhile. Students from the official publication of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), the Benildean Press Corps (BPC), share how tight-knit relationships truly make your stay worthwhile in a game of “who’s most likely to.”
Orgs and academics
Becoming part of the organization feels exciting, but once things settle down, you start asking yourself how you will balance everything. As a student journalist, you’re still a student first. You try to prioritize your academics over your org work, but there are days when org tasks feel heavier than your classes.
When asked who’s most likely to resign, Andriette Bihis, Assistant Managing Editor, shares that out of the group, she’s the one who would most likely resign. Stating that sometimes, she would just like to focus on her academics.
As an architecture student and having a position on the editorial board, pulling all-nighters may seem like the typical day in the life of a student journalist. Keith Espina, Associate Editor for Print, stated that he had stayed up until 3 AM the day of the interview.
Breathe! Your orgmates got you covered
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the work you need to do, but you’re never actually doing it alone. There are peers who share the same passion and editors who guide you and your section. People often say publication work is “just work,” but being part of it shows you there’s more to the org than journalism.
“Even outside of org, may ginagawa kami na ‘di lang puro trabaho,” Ryzza Gadiano, BPC’s Editor-in-Chief shares. She sees her fellow editors as friends, not just coworkers. Despite having different roles within the publication, they still make time for each other outside of an office setting.
They each carry a responsibility— as students, journalists, and editors— but these responsibilities and the time they share together make the things they do worthwhile, as these things go far beyond the publication office.
