Abstract : This study investigated the relationship between the issues and challenges in campus journalism and itsimpact on school publication: perspectives of principals and paper advisers within the context of public elementary schools in Calauan Sub-Office, Division of Laguna. Grounded on the theoretical framework by Allan and Thorsen (2017), Singer (2018) and Campus journalism and challenges faced by student journalists Theory (2023), the research adopted a descriptive correlational design involving 122 randomly selected respondents from 22 public elementary schools. Data collection utilized a researcher-crafted survey questionnaire validated by school validators. Results indicated a high extent /high practice on issues and challenges in campus journalism faced by the school principals, school heads and school paper advisers. Regarding the performance of school publications on quality and sustainability, several wins are visible at the division, regional and national levels. More than 70% of the contestants surpass the district level, which means a positive result with a negative correlation brought by the issues and challenges. The impact of the performance of school publications (informing, educating, entertaining, inspiring, and challenging) was also very high. Significant relationships were observed among variables, with the issues and challenges to the effects on the performance of the school publication.

Keywords : Campus Journalism, Performance of School Publication, Quality, Sustainability, Impact.
