The College of Communication hosted the “Citizentric Communication Forum: Current State of Philippine Community Media and Reporting” on May 2, 2025, highlighting evolving trends in media and content creation that journalists and creators can apply to their work. This was a whole-day event that took place at the WVSU Rehearsal Hall.

 

Leading the discussion was Voltaire Tupaz, co-founder and executive director of Fyt Media, who emphasized a community-centered approach to producing and broadcasting information.

 

The forum introduced the FEET framework—Factual, Ethical, Emotional, and Timely—as a guide for responsible journalism and impactful storytelling in today’s fast-changing media landscape.

 

Students also participated in a hands-on workshop where they presented infographics, posters, and video outputs, receiving constructive feedback from Tupaz.

 

The event aimed to equip future media practitioners with practical tools to strengthen their creative work and meet the shifting demands of modern journalism.
