This study aimed to determine the status of the Campus Journalism Program among public secondary schools in the Division of Samar during the school year 2001-2002. This is a descriptive-normative method of research with the use of questionnaires as the main source of data, supplemented by documentary analysis, observation and interview. The comparison among the perceptions of the administrators, critics, advisers and student writers revealed a computed F-value of 42.57 which was greater than the critical F-value of 42.57 which was greater than the critical F-value of 3.10 at 0.05, df= 23. Thus, the hypothesis corresponding to said comparison was rejected. The posteriori test showed that the means between the following pairs differed significantly: administrators and advisers, critics and advisers, advisers and student writers as evidenced by their computed F-values of 11.28, 12.50 and 15.13, respectively. They were all numerically greater than the critical F-value of 9.30 at 0.05 level of significance. Thus, their perceptions differed significantly from each other. Along with program content, censorship, journalism skills of student writers, financing, in-service training, materials and equipment and time allotment, their perception differed significantly thus, it could be said that they had differing observations as to the extent of implementation of the aforesaid aspects in their respective schools. The most prevalent problems in the implementation of the journalism program among public secondary schools dealt on inadequacy of financing, materials/equipment and time allotment. The solutions that were most preferred by the respondents were those for: relationship among staff, adviser, critic and principal, censorship, time constraint and financing. The solutions were appropriate and correspondent to the identified problems.
