RATIONALE
Communication is an integral part of any organization. Without the very basic
understanding of the process, the aims and thrusts of the institution would be left as mere
potentials and never as active initiatives. Thoughts are to be translated into ideas and
transformed into action through integral channels and means of transmission to any target
audience.
As a representative government, the University Student Council is tasked to hold in high
regard open, effective, and efficient communication lines embodying transparency and
accountability to and for the public. We have the sole mandate of keeping the UP
community informed: from the very affairs of the council down to the very last operational
detail affecting each and every Iskolar ng Bayan. But more than being informed, our bigger
role is to involve the UP community in shaping the nation through awareness.
Effective management and planning of communication, from information dissemination to
active participation, is essential in building an environment conducive for responsiveness
and proactivity. In order to serve the best interests of our constituency, it is imperative that
we dissect communication as an ongoing and cyclical process: a constant exchange of
feedback and sentiments, qualified by various communicative contexts. This aspect of
operations is essential in maintaining existing productive relationships and in building new
connections with the various sectors of the University.
Communication is a multi-faceted discipline involving various aspects of interaction. From
traditional means to technological developments, any organization has the capacity to
utilize this nature of transmission into creating stories of involvement within and beyond the
student body. But the key to an active end goal is an efficient first step and this is where
the Mass Media Committee comes in. The Mass Media Committee is tasked of getting all of
the initiatives of the University Student Council known to the public not as mere activities
but of utmost and direct importance to each and every Iskolar ng Bayan.
The Mass Media Committees main thrust of transparency and accountability is anchored to
this very concept of communication for us to properly and adequately inform the
students, to bridge the gap within and beyond various sectors of the University, to welcome
constructive feedback, and to encourage student involvement.
As a standing committee of the USC, the Mass Media Committee at all times should serve as
a liaison between the Council and the University. The Mass Media Committee shall ensure
that it is always at the service of the students and the different sectors in UP Diliman. The
significance of MMC shall not be limited to the confines of the university but rather shall
explore and tap into the limitless potentials of communication as a process. It shall
endeavor to reinforce the importance of the University Student Council and its involvement
on the various issues faced by our society, together with the UP community.

VISION/MISSION
VISION
The Mass Media Committee envisions itself as a primary arm of the University Student Council in
promoting transparency and accountability to which in the process of, acts as the initial force in

presents the communication process in any undertaking as non-linear.
Through these models, the Mass Media Committee envisions itself as something more than just a
publicity arm of the University Student Council. It seeks to be at the forefront of actively inviting
students to take part and be part of the University Student Councils thrusts in serving not just the UP
