With Hannah Sanchez
In an interview with Hannah Sanchez, a swimmer and
a bronze medalist in the recent swimming competition
“1st SEA Open Water Swimming Championships in
Malaysia”, stated that she wasn’t able to train much
before the competition due to the many holidays
celebrated during the month of December, and
because of this, there was little to no coaching at all,
not until January, a month before the competition.
She was able to train only for a few days in UST during weekends and despite her
thinking that if she was able to train more, she could have done better, she still felt
happy because she was able to improve and receive a bronze medal.
She also expressed that one of the biggest challenges that she faced before and during
the competition was that she had an injury on her shoulder and she felt pain because of
it, but one of her inspirations, which includes her friends, family, especially her father,
and most importantly God was able to help her overcome this obstacle, as she
consistently prayed that her shoulder wouldn’t hurt too much while she was in the
competition itself, she also stated that she “felt God’s presence while swimming.”
Hannah also mentioned that other than swimming, she had
another hobby, which was running, so this may indicate that
she really is a sporty person. She, too, clarified that she has
no plans for the future as of now, but she was able to give
advice to the people who aspire to be a swimmer athlete like
her.
She left a message and offered suggestions and guidance
with a statement saying, “Swimming is focused on endurance
and diligence, the more hardworking you are, the more likely
you will win, you also have to know the reason as to why
you’re pursuing this sport.”

Hannah Sanchez is a long distance swimmer who
transitioned into open water competition. Hannah has
a brave heart for competing against veteran swimmers
from Asia. Being on the podium is no surprise
because of the hard work she puts in her daily
training. The medal only serves as a product of
her grit, passion, and Sophia Capistrano
determination towards the sport. The Olimpian
The moment I found out about the news of Hannah Sanchez being
a bronze awardee for the open water competition she recently just
participated in, I was immediately impressed and amazed. As I
felt an immense sense of pride because she carried and promoted
the same name of the school I am currently enrolled in. And
though I don’t know her personally, I am genuinely proud
and happy for her as I can only imagine the struggles she
faced before receiving the bronze medal she well-deserved
to have won. I hope she is aware that many people,
including myself, respects, supports,
and looks up to her.

PRINT MEDIA
According to Oxford References, print
media is any written type of
communication but with a physical
copy or what is also known as hard
copy. It can be produced mechanically
or electronically for a faster and easier
way. An ‘ink and paper’ kind of
communication, either written or typed
such as books, newspapers, magazines,
journals, and many other mediums.
Invention
Before the invention of the printing press and the print
media, printmaking was already present during the 9th
century in China with the use of woodblock printing. This along with manufacturing of
paper, development of ink and the distribution of eyeglasses.
In 1436, Johannes Gutenberg invented
the printing press and built the first known mechanized press
Johannes Gutenberg:
THE PRESS
in Europe. This press was used to print the Gutenberg Bible in 1455. With the invention
of Gutenberg, print media developed into the primary source of news over the course of
the next 600 years.
In the Philippines, printing was introduced
through the Spanish colonization by the
Dominicians during the Christianization of the
Philippines in the 16th Century. Years later,
the first printing press was built in Pila,
Laguna which printed the “Vocabulario de
Lengua Tagala” which is the first dictionary of
the language in the Philippine Islands.

Main Purpose
The creation and dissemination of news and information through
printed publications is known as print media. These facts, images
or visuals are distributed to the broader public in printed form, often known as hard copy.
It helps the daily circulation of the news and extends the news to every part of the country.
Print media is a way for publishing any news in printing form. Nowadays, print media is
vital for all. Daily, a weekly and monthly newspaper is considered as print media.

development of the interest in

Philippine Association of Printmakers in
1968 and developed screen printing
methods for printing in 1948. In the
1950s, he started making greeting cards

As social media continues to grow in this generation
as their new source of information, news, and
entertainment, print media isn’t the most known and effective nowadays. Many reasons
suffice to say that social media is considered better than print media such that it is to
conserve the trees and avoid using paper, it is more accessible, and more.
Although print media isn’t completely forgotten, most people who prefer to use print
media are usually older people, which means the generation today isn’t much interested
in print media.
The rise of print media has been successful and relevant in the 1400's since
the internet was not a huge thing back then. However, since the 2000's the
internet has been more helpful in looking for resources such as books,
news, etc. or anything that print media can provide. Print media has
become insignificant in today's time because the internet has evolved
and almost everything can be accessed online. Although older
people may find it more comfortable, GenZ’s are now more on
the practicality side, which shows the fall
of print media in today’s time.

GenZ Media
Out of all the types of Medias out there, it seems like Print Media is the
most different out of all. Print Media uses printing while other media
are produced in the digital world. And even though there are similar
uses between print media and the others, digital media still suffices in
the modern age of today. This is because digital media is much more
accessible since almost all the people take hold of technology
nowadays. For me, I think print media should still be prominent
for the ones who are not privileged enough to get a hold of
modern technology. As much as digital
media is used more, print media is
as important as digital media.
