Participants in the two-week Manila Bulletin (MB) Junior Journalists Summer Camp 2015 had a taste of real world of journalism in an impromptu press conference with Sen. Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara at the MB Penthouse in Intramuros, Manila, last Friday.
The activity was part of the interviewing and sourcing workshop of University of Santo Tomas (UST) Professor Felipe Salvosa II. It highlighted Day 5 of the two-week camp.
In the first week, MB editors and guest professors from UST taught the children the basics of newswriting. In the second week, the MB Editorial Team taught them cartooning, photography, research, infographics, and layout.
“I was impressed not only with the content of the questions, but also the way they were delivered – very respectful and very articulate,” the senator said.
The workshop, which started on May 18, aims to promote the habit of reading among the younger ones.
