OUT OF THE CLASSROOM AND INTO THE NEWSROOM Forty students from the BSc Development Communication (BSDC) program of Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College got an exclusive peek into the Rappler newsroom on March 19, 2026. During their visit, students heard from Rappler staff about the reality of running an online media organization, and about the meticulous work behind the stories that we do. Students got to ask questions on a range of topics, from how to balance honesty with sensitivity in journalism, to the importance of reaching audiences across the Philippines. This newsroom tour forms part of BSDC’s curricular requirements and is a fixture of our Rappler+ partnership with educational institutions nationwide. Experiences like these help raise awareness and understanding about journalism in the Philippines, and enrich experiences of students. Would your class like to join us for the next newsroom visit? You can sign up for one by becoming a Rappler+ Institutional member. To inquire, email us at plus@rappler.com. Photos by Randall Rosales/Rappler
