UNACOM WEBSITE

The Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication has been contracted by the UNESCO Philippines National Commission (UNACOM) to design and produce the latter’s  website.

Nearing completion, the UNACOM website speaks of how  it works with partners to build pillars of peace, address poverty, and promote dialogue among countries and cultures. More than presenting its objectives, functions and programs, the UNACOM website seeks to engage the public in its efforts in the areas of education, sciences, culture and communication through a venue where people could easily access and immediately interact.

The UNACOM website will be operated by the AIJC webmaster.

AIJC alumnus discusses newspapers’ importance at UPLB symposium

What is the importance of newspapers and how do they help shape people’s lives and society? Are newspapers a reflection of a nation “talking to itself”? How does each section of the newspaper, from the editorial, editorial cartoon, and obituaries to entertainment page help social historians explore and analyze social trends and issues of the day? What are the challenges facing printed newspapers in this age of new information technology?

Paghahabi is the Filipino term for weaving materials such as textile, mats, baskets. It also means the weaving or telling of stories.

In essence, paghahabi reflects the core competency of the AIJC, ie communication. This competency transmits truth, creates understanding, builds community. It brings together the diversity of warp and woof and interlaces them into a single colorful fabric of concord and trust.

Our e-newsletter Paghahabi tells AIJC’s stories. It reflects our efforts to promote understanding amidst diversity through our various communication programs and projects and to build a network of AIJC partners and stakeholders whose stories are intertwined with ours.

The AIJC is committed to weave a community committed to the common good and the best interest especially of marginalized sectors that need the comfort of a warm woven fabric.
