JOURNALISM
 Something that embraces all forms in which or through which
the news and comments on the news reach the public. All that
happens in the world, if such happenings hold interest for the
public, and all the thoughts, actions, and ideas which these
happenings stimulate, become basic materials for the
journalist. -Fraser F. Bond
 Enjoyable co-curricular activity of the school paper staff in
collecting, organizing, and presenting news; in writing
editorials, columns, literary articles, and features; in copy
reading, proofreading, dummying, and writing headlines. -
