Podcasting is a form of audio broadcasting on the Internet. The word “podcasting” is a portmanteau combining the words “broadcasting” and “iPod,” a portable music player. Podcasts usually contain talk back radio style content rather than music.

Podcasting is the start of a new media content revolution that is empowering individuals with the ability to globally distribute their ideas. It is no different than a webcast, a show that is broadcast over the web and is broken up into parts or episodes. Most podcasts are similar to news radio programs and deliver information on a regular basis, It is impacting traditional industries such as journalism, education and entertainment allowing anyone to freely create and distribute news and media.

TV5 President and CEO Noel Lorenzana shares this about the partnership between the Kapatid Network and Foton Philippines, “The partnership between TV5 and Foton actually started even long before, with their support in the PBA tournaments. In fact, it is a very pleasant surprise that they donated this ambulance to Rescue5, which is really a recognition and sign of respect they have for Rescue5 – on how it has become a really big force in helping people, especially in times of emergencies. This partnership only further strengthens News5 and Rescue5’s motto, “Higit sa Balita, Aksyon”, because in the end, this is really in the service for everybody, especially for people in need.”

Aside from Online Journalism, the school paper advisers were also trained in Editorial Cartooning, Copy Writing, Feature Writing, News Writing, Sports Writing, and Photojournalism by resource speakers from the industry and academe. 

The training was divided into two batches: Luzon and Visayas-Mindanao. Around 180 school paper advisers from the nine regions in Visayas and Mindanao participated in the Davao City training while 160 school advisers from Luzon joined the second leg in Lucena City. The nationwide training also served as a venue to address issues and concerns relating to the conduct of the NSPC 2015.

This year's NSPC will be held in Taguig City, from April 6 to 10 with the theme Empowering Resilient Communities Through Campus Journalism.
