Any imposed takedown, especially over an imagined slight and not because of a factual or ethical lapse, erodes press freedom and the independence of the press.

The UST administration’s reaction to a harmless photograph exposes its elitist stance.

The Catholic school should instead uphold the dignity of work and honor the workers’ contributions to the Philippine society.

Unfortunately, this instance of censorship is just the latest and most high profile in the campus press, which has faced intimidation, repression and lack of financial support in campuses across the Philippines.

We urge the same respect for and protection of press freedom for campus journalists, who face the same risks and pressures as those in the working press.
