Pursuing and revealing the truth, stimulating discourse, and fueling change. For the past 78 years, The GUIDON has served and formed countless Ateneans. Now on its 79th year, The GUIDON aims to continue its rich history of excellent campus journalism. As the official student newspaper of the Ateneo, The GUIDON chronicles Ateneo history as it happens, delivering the burning issues and events that matter. Through fair, accurate, and responsible campus journalism, The GUIDON seeks to enlighten and inspire Ateneans to make a change.
The GUIDON also values its best assets: generations and generations of GUIDONeers who have served the organization, the Ateneo community, and ultimately, God and country. Through holistic training, GUIDONeers are molded into skilled and principled leaders-- leaders with great talent, dedication, and passion.
As it strives for excellent campus journalism, The GUIDON does not just look into life inside the Ateneo.
It goes beyond.
