National papers fall under two categories: the popular paper and the heavy or quality papers.
Popular papers present their news in a lively fashion with-easy-to-read articles and many photographs.
Heavy or quality papers are printed with longer articles stressing on important and serious events in the
country.
Some newspaper publisher produce Sunday papers sometimes, with the same nameplate as
the daily newspapers. These are not Sunday editions of the dailies but instead, they are different
editors and editorial staff. The reason behind this is the availability of more people to read during
Sundays. The price of the Sunday paper tends to be higher than the regular paper, but it contains more
news.
The Campus Paper is the version of the national newspaper within in academic institution. In
other words, it is a pioneer in the publishing industry as a free newspaper of the students by the
students and for the students to circulate within the academic community. The Campus Paper may
broaden its reach like the community and other agencies in the society.
With the advent of the Campus Journalism Act of 1991, otherwise known as Republic Act
Numbered 7079, the establishment of campus publication in basic education and in higher alarming
institutions has been legalized.
Since the campus paper is run by the students, they have the chance to simulate the daily
newspaper’s characteristics at the same tine act as journalists in their own fields. lt should be noted that
the campus paper is contextualized within the institution, hence, priority issues should emanate from
the institution before touching local, national and
Intemalional concerms.
It is observed that the size and frequency of the paper vary, depending on the
policies of the editorial board, the fand or pulblication budget and the population of
the learning institution. There are higher leaning institutions which collect a campus
paper fee that can finance a semestral release of a newsletter, a tablod, a nmagarine
a broadshcet and sometimes a literary folio. The school, too, may decide to release a
special edition of its publioation or organ during intramurals and foundation days or on
any speclal occasions.
In many instances, though, school papers under the Depariment of Education opt
to release newsletters due to the considenation of the fund, 1he population and the scope
