History, Vision and Mission

NCJP is a proactive, positive-outlook driven, impact oriented, program-based, skills development-tilted and institutionalized organization of campus journalists in the Philippines. To date, NCJP has become the fastest growing network of young journalists in the country covering a national backbone from Cagayan Valley to Tawi-Tawi island.

Conceptualized by LLOYD A. LUNA on February 12, 2001 during the Kapihan ng Kabataan Kasama ang Pangulo in Malacanang Palace, the group was originally known as Editors in Chief of the Philippines (EICP) then in 2002 altered to Network of Editors and Writers of the Philippines (NEW Philippines) and now the Network of Campus Journalists of the Philippines (NCJP).

Our vision is to be the Center for Effective Publication Management and Campus Press Development that is accompanied by our mission to inspire, motivate and involve young journalists, to constructively deal with contemporary realities without abstaining from their idealism. What we do and focus to get done.

NCJP has made a very historic twist in the field of campus journalism and has espoused young writers to find their nich, develop their talents and potentials and realize the principle of thinking globally and working locally. We have made several project models and programs tailored fit to address the needs of campus journalists. Broadening the structure and scope, NCJP has forged national and international tie ups, collaborations and partnerships and continue to coordinate with as many sectors including ICT's, government and daily broadsheets.

NCJP. Attitude. Aptitude. Altitude.

For the young journalists in the world to have another venue to touch one another's jounrnalistic hearts, the electronic group of Network of Journalists International was born in May 2004.

Taking the responsibility and accountability of the free press, we believe that young journalists should develop within themselves proper attitude towards their sworn media profession. While it is true that young people are idealists, it is but also needed for them to understand the contemporary global realities.

It is not always APTITUDE. At times, it is ATTITUDE that brings one to a higher ALTITUDE. This is all about our network. And this is all about us, the stakeholders of the future and the leaders of our time.

With you and me, and everybody out there who believes in the power of media in the promotion of peace and unity, creation of positive change in global community, eradication of poverty, graft and corruption, upliftment of human lives and espousing the universal human values and ethics, everything is but POSSIBLE.
