KALIPI holds blogging workshop
The Kabataang Liberal ng Pilipinas (KALIPI) held its first Advocacy Journalism seminar on media entitled "Advocacy Journalism: Basic Writing and Blogging Seminar", last September 10, at the KALIPI National Headquarters, Sta. Mesa, Manila.
KALIPI National Secretary General Jan Argy Tolentino opened the seminar with an overview of what blogging is all about and its current impact on the national and international markets. He stressed on the significance of the web log, also known as blog, as a new paradigm for people who wants to air their opinions to the readers.
The seminar was divided into two parts: (1) writing seminar, and; (2) blogging seminar. The writing seminar was headed by KALIPI Media Director Robert Ramos, who focused on the differences between a news, feature, editorial, opinion, light news, and special feature articles. He also discussed the differences of Real-Life (RL) media and Web-based media, the latter having more advantage due to its availability and ease to be updated.
Ramos capped-off the writing seminar with a workshop wherein the 14 participants were grouped and assigned to write articles about the seminar and KALIPI under the several article categories.
In the second part of the seminar, Liberal Party Finance and Administrative officer Donna Babadilla, introduce blogging to the participants.
"Blogging is like having an online journal. However, to have a good blog you must have a specific theme, a niche, for your site", Babadilla stressed.
After the brief lecture, Babadilla divided the participants into two batches for the hands-on blogging workshop. Each participant was asked to create their own blog account and link them to the KALIPI site, www.kalipiblog.blogspot.com.
An awarding ceremony headed by KALIPI NCR Area Chair Eric Caliboso marked the end of the whole day seminar that was participated in by representatives from KALIPI-Northern Luzon, KALIPI-PUP, KALIPI-San Sebastian, KALIPI-UDM, KALIPI-UE, KALIPI-UP and KALIPI-Valenzuela.
