As De La Salle University’s official student publication, The LaSallian is accountable to the students.
The LaSallian, as a completely student-run publication, is a training ground for professional, competent, and responsible journalists.
Through its news, stories, photographs, illustrations, and perspectives, The LaSallian represents and fights for the rights and welfare of the students.
Being there when stories happen, the University section serves as The LaSallian‘s news arm that goes beyond what meets the eye. Through exhaustive coverages, news features, and in-depth commentaries, we aim to serve the public by gathering, amplifying, and defending the truth within and beyond the Animo realm.
Grounded in Filipino culture and society, the Menagerie is the publication’s features section that explores the mundane and the peculiar. We write about people and phenomena celebrated and forgotten, from the margins of society and at the heart of communities.
The LaSallian‘s Sports section extends beyond the eye of the casual fan, diving deeper into the story behind collegiate, national, and international sports alike. We help bridge the Lasallian community closer to the action and the grind of the teams and athletes who proudly represent the Green-and-White on and off the court.
Vanguard inspires curiosity and connects everyday people with the brightest minds in science. Apart from reporting the wonders, hypotheses, and data, we uphold the duty to examine the role of money and the government in science, review science-related public policies, and dissect the murky underbelly of the field.
Intermedia produces the audio-visual projects of the organization. We focus on collaboration and creativity in short-reels, in-depth interviews, topical clips, and video essays. From the writing process, filming sets, animated visuals, and post-production editing, the team sheds light on the niche stories in our environments.
We do more than just clicking a button; The LaSallian’s Photo section brings life into the publication’s articles by producing visuals that resonate with our audience. We capture memories from events with photographs that tell stories in ways words can’t express.
Art & Graphics is the creative heart of The LaSallian that breathes life into complex stories through the visual mastery of colors and line work. This section takes on the responsibility of crafting captivating visuals for articles, event highlights, comics, and editorial cartoons.
The Layout section combines creativity and precision to showcase news in an informative and engaging way. Through eye-catching visuals and well-structured graphics, the section enriches the publication’s storytelling, enhancing the reader’s experience.
The Web section, composed of copywriters, designers, and developers, is at the forefront of the publication’s digital presence. They are the creative architects behind our content strategy who also skillfully designs and develops websites to elevate the publication’s storytelling experience.
