Throughout its publication, the printed paper had the following recurring sections: News, Opinion, Sports, Features, and Literary. Also included were games such as crosswords puzzles or photo quizzes. The layouts mirrored that of newspapers published in the country.
New volumes were released yearly and noticeable transformations are seen in each edition, including new logos and section titles. Staffers had the choice to use their full names or initials in articles and pen names in literary articles.
A big difference, however, lies in the writing itself as words, terms, and styles used have definitely changed as time went by.
On August 27, 2011, the UPIS community celebrated the birth of yet another vital piece of its identity: Ang Aninag Online.
Led by Media Center (MC) 1 2012, the launch of the first official, and so far only online student publication of UPIS, was a huge jump from the print media tradition of the school to cater to the changing interests of its audience.
Ang Aninag Online’s first publishing day featured only news articles and was a success despite the lack of other official social media accounts of the Media Center.
A lot has changed since then. Through the years, both casual and avid readers have seen the addition of the other regular sections, particularly Sports, Opinion, Features, and Literary. They have also contributed to the rise of publishing traditions, such as Creative Writing Projects, MCPakisabi, MCSagutan, and Di MaAninag (the online paper’s spoof edition).
Yearly, there is a steady increase in the number of MC staff members and various writers have continuously created a solid following. There is also a marked increase in page views and in 2013, Ang Aninag Online hit its first thousand view mark, shortly after the establishment of its official Twitter account (@upismediacenter) and its official Facebook page (UPIS Media Center).
As Ang Aninag Online approaches its fifth year, its evolution has been off the charts. The debut pub of MC 2018, for example, set an exceptional record for number of views with a whopping 6,186. Though technological advancements did help pave the way, it is the spirited fervor and sincere enthusiasm of the staff and readers that carried the online paper to what it is today.
With all these, it goes to show that Ang Aninag Online is living up to its potential and is continuing to grow alongside its writers and the UPIS community. // by Chesca Santiago, Trisa De Ocampo, Hanzvic Dellomas, Cedric Jacobo, Bryan Lina, Beca Sinchongco
