Tinig ng Plaridel
Tinig ng Plaridel is the official student publication of the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Mass Communication. Commonly referred to by the university's students as TNP[1][2], the publication is known for its ethical and truthful journalism,[3][4] providing critical views on policies made by the UP administration[5] and the Philippine government. It is a member of the UP Solidaridad and the College Editors Guild of the Philippines. Now in its 43rd year, TNP writes stories about how communities are facing the global COVID-19 pandemic[6], focusing on how the national government's response has failed millions of Filipinos amid a health crisis.
History
Marcos regime
TNP started in 1978, at the height of then-President Ferdinand Marcos' repressive machinery. At the time, the dictator was at his most deadly and most desperate. In the crux of this scenario, student journalists of the Institute of Mass Communication (now the College of Mass Communication) wrote their sentiments in print, advocating for the constitutional right of freedom of expression. As the times called for protests against suppression and a heightened demand for liberation, Tinig ng Plaridel rose to begin its journalism.
Edited by Jose Virgilio Bautista, what started as a broadsheet became a venue for students of the institute to pursue their goals and aspirations.
After Marcos' ouster, the publication shrank to near-dormancy as fewer and fewer issues were released. The publication's staff produced a 31-page magazine on its ninth year, filled with articles expressing the perspective of students of the institute on various issues after the People Power Revolution. Despite continued attacks against fundamental human rights, TNP remained the college's media arm and shifted to a magazine format in the late 1980's. A decade later, TNP adapted to the times and went online.
The publication, however, took a break in 1989 after releasing a final newsletter. It would not be long until a new set of editors revived the publication in 1992. The year saw a Charter for TNP, which would enable the publication to act independently from the college's student council. Grueling financial setbacks met the reborn TNP, with a shortage of materials and lack of writers leading to an irregular release of materials. TNP persevered, however, with the publication calling[7] for the ouster of President Joseph Ejercito Estrada.
Innovations
TNP went online[8] in 1997 through Tinig.com, initiated by its 1997 editor-in-chief Ederic Eder.
In response to financial constraints, TNP went through a “wall news revolution”[9] in 2005, with some issues posted as far as dormitories in the University. On the same year, TNP was featured by DZUP 1602 to broadcast a 30-minute commentary on issues plaguing the college. With the radio station, the publication innovated coverage of the University Student Council elections through a broadcast partnership dubbed “Boto ni Isko ’08”. This would continue to be an annual coverage for the publication.
That 2008 election saw a real-time online coverage effort pioneered by TNP. Through UPJourn.net and tinigngplaridel.net, the publication was able to release updates on the elections blow-by-blow. The following year, TNP received the most website views of any publication covering the elections.
In 2016 and 2017, TNP became the target of politically-charged trolls[10][11] who continuously reported the publication's Facebook page. A call was made by several student councils to reverse the Facebook page's possible cessation by leaving positive comments for TNP. At the height of the tyrannical rule of President Rodrigo Duterte, the publication was not spared from red-tagging attacks[12][13]
Still, TNP remains firm in its stance of ethical and fearless journalism, in service to the college, to the university and to the nation.
Editors-in-Chief
Many of TNP's previous editors-in-chief have not been recorded, due to loss of the publication's previous records. TNP has also been inactive[14] in several years after the ouster of dictator Marcos.
