Be there when it happens.
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.
Serving and informing the Lasallian community and beyond as The LaSallian’s news arm. Its writers are relentless gatherers, amplifiers, and defenders of truth. Shedding light on stories and issues within the university or beyond through in-depth features, investigative stories, and rigorous reports, expect the University section to be there when it happens.
Grounded in Filipino culture and society, the Menagerie is the publication’s features section. We explore narratives from the ground up, taking on the strange in the familiar and championing the quiet in the loud. Past the parades and processions, we write about culture celebrated and forgotten, from the margins and at the hearts of communities.
The LaSallian‘s Sports section extends beyond the view of the casual fan, diving deeper into the history and ongoing narratives behind collegiate, national, and international sports alike. We help bring the Lasallian community closer to the action and the tireless grind of the teams and athletes who proudly represent the Green-and-White both on and off the court, and investigate some of the issues that surround the athletes.
As The LaSallian’s science section, Vanguard explains the inner workings of various phenomena and magnifies the innovations of today and beyond. While we have a tickle for the technicalities, we ensure that STEM feels closer to you: from amplifying voices that carry the timbre of science to diluting the intricacies of social issues with a scientific solvent.
Striving to explain and comprehend, the Intermedia section is behind the publication’s fully-produced videos—ranging from documentaries and featurettes to in-depth news coverages regarding various events. We handle the entire process: writing scripts for these projects, filming for on the ground and on screen happenings, editing to produce a coherent narrative, creating informative and compelling animations, and delivering these stories with a charismatic voice. Through these videos, we aim to inform, engage, and inspire both the University and the broader Filipino community.
Always being there when it happens, The LaSallian’s Photo section captures the heartbeat of our community. We do more than just clicking a button–we provide visuals crucial to understanding our world’s current affairs.
The Art & Graphics section breathes life into complex stories through the visual mastery of colors and line work. Being the creative heart of The LaSallian, they take on the responsibility of crafting captivating visuals for articles, event highlights, comics, and editorial cartoons.
Layout is the graphic design center of the publication. Staffers work all around the clock to produce a range of creative posters, structured infographics, and detailed broadsheets to make sure news stays engaging and informative.
With the world at its fingertips, the Web section is responsible for curating and expanding the publication’s online presence. At its core, the section handles the vital tasks of copywriting and social media management to engage the audience in the digital realm. For those looking to further their skills, the section also offers specializations in web design and development. Designers focus on crafting intuitive user experiences for our websites, while developers are tasked with bringing those designs to life and engineering the publication’s technical backbone through workflow automation and other programming projects.
Undergraduate students from the Manila and Laguna campuses are allowed to apply; senior high school students are not allowed to apply.
You may apply for two sections, but there must be a preferred one. You are also allowed to back out from one of your choices.
For all applicants, please prepare a laptop or any digital device together with a paper and pen.
