Let the Passion Burning

Writing is a work that requires passion, practice and training. So, as student-writers, we organized a series of writing seminar-workshops that will provide ideas and tips to our newly hired members and also for us to review the basics of writing.

On May 29, 2012, we had our News and Feature Writing Seminar-Workshop. The organization held this seminar-workshop in order to guide the publication members in writing news and feature to provide insights in writing this categorical writings effectively and efficiently.

During the seminar, two speakers are present. The first one was Mr. Aldrin C. Torrejos, former editor-in-chief of the Trailblazer. He discussed on the different structures and techniques in feature writing. The second one was Mr. Drazen A. Evilla, the former Associate Editor of the publication. He, on the other hand, talked on various types and tips on writing news.

On June 9, 2012, we then conducted the second part of our seminar-workshop. It is all about writing editorial. I, personally, appreciated this seminar because I am one of the editors who will organize the editorial article. We invited Mr. Mark Dave Cerbito, the editor-in-chief of the The Trailblazer S.Y. 2009-2010. We also had a writing activity after the discussion.

I just want to share the pictures taken in our seminar. Here:
