A MAJOR WIN FOR UST ARTLETS! 🐯👏🏻
The Flame, the official student publication of the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Arts and Letters, made history as the first Asian campus to win the top spot in the 2024 Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Mark of Excellence Awards’ in-depth reporting category for large universities.
The winning article, “From streets to sheets: Motorcycle drivers ride on sex work as they traverse hard times,” tackles the experiences of motorcycle taxi drivers offering sexual services to their customers in hopes of earning extra cash.
It was written by The Flame editor-in-chief Zoe Airabelle Aguinaldo, associate editor Joss Gabriel Oliveros, Jianzen Deananeas, and Ma. Alyanna Selda.
“The Artlets student publication is also the lone non-US-based student publication to secure the highest accolade in the same category this year. In January, the same piece was awarded best in-depth report at the 10th UST National Campus
Journalism Awards,” The Flame reported.
