Abstract
This study aimed to know the level of involvement of student journalists in public affairs through school publication of their respective schools in Batangas City. The researchers used descriptive and correlational research design in acquiring the information needed. While they used weighted mean, composite mean, and Pearson’s r in the analysis and interpretation of data. A total of 116 student journalists from the schools and universities inside the borders of Batangas City served as the participants of this study. The findings revealed that most of the respondents are involved in delivering news especially when issues are about youth awareness concerning societal problems. This involvement encompasses an opportunity to inform many people by delivering news about the rampant issues of social media, a chance to weigh their arguments and logical reasoning in presenting their opinion, and a chance to write an article tackling light but significant entertainment for Filipinos. Moreover, this study showed that there is no significant relationship between the level of involvement of student journalists in public affairs and the extent of disseminating information and presenting subjective opinions.
