Eighteen
communication students from Ateneo De Zamboanga University (ADZU), Western
Mindanao State University (WMSU) and Zamboanga City State Polytechnic College
(ZCSPC) recently underwent a 3-day intensive training in Peace journalism at a
local hotel at Barangay Tetuan here, sponsored by the United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) Engage Project in partnership with the
City Government of Zamboanga.
USAID-Engage’s
municipal and community engagement officer Ryan Victor Miranda welcomed the
speakers, facilitators, organizers and the students to the activity. Sheila E.
Covarrubias, Public Information Officer of the City Government highlighted the
first day training review on the straight news writing and incorporated their
understanding of Peace and Conflict based in the news printed in local
newspapers.
On the other
hand, Frencie L. Carreon, a Ph. D candidate for Peace and Conflict Studies,
spearheaded the lectures on Peace Journalism which was critiqued by the
participants.
On the second day,
Christian Olasiman, executive assistant of the office of the Mayor gave a
review on feature news writing. The Sun Star Davao’s editor Stella A. Estrella
also lectured the participants on the Mindanao Peace Lens.
For the last day
of the training, USAID-Engage’s municipal and community engagement officer
