FILCOLS’ Beverly Siy delivered a talk entitled “Free Flowing Copyright” at the Lasallian Schools Press Conference 2012 last 4 May 2012. It was held at the Lecture Room 0916 De La Salle-College of St. Benilde (DLS-CSB) School of Design and Arts Campus, Pablo Ocampo St., Manila. The theme of the LSPCON 2012 was Creating the Future through Innovative Journalism.
More than fifty college students attended the FILCOLS’ session. They represented various Lasallian institutions in the country, including those in Metro Manila, Antipolo, Cavite and Bacolod. They have different degree programs but they are all involved in the production of their school’s student publications (newspapers, magazines, folios, etc.) According to Prof. Dianne May Torres, the head of the Student Publications Office of DLS-CSB, in Lasallian Schools Press, the copyright stays with the creators even if they are working for the campus papers.
Siy discussed the basics of copyright. She emphasized the need for the members of the audience to know more about their rights and to help their schoolmates know more about intellectual property and copyright. She ended the talk with an invitation for the students to join campus press and authors organizations like FILCOLS.
LSPCON 2012 was organized by the Alliance of Lasallian Campus Journalists and Advisers, Student Publications Office of DLS-CSB and Manila Bulletin. LSPCON 2012 also featured FILCOLS members Eros Atalia who talked about injecting humor into one’s writing, Ronald Lim who was a panellist for the plenary session: The Changing Media Landscape and Ricky Lim who talked about Writing in Filipino for Today’s Audience.
