NAGSAGAWA ang Department of Education (DepEd), sa pamamagitan ng Bureau of Curriculum Development, ng kauna-unahang virtual National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) noong Agosto 11-13, 2021 upang pagyamanin ang kaalaman at masustenahan ang social consciousness ng mga mag-aaral sa gitna ng pandemya.
Tinagurian bilang National Conference on Campus Journalism in the 21st Century, layunin ng 2021 National Schools Press Conference (NSPC) na mapagbuti ang kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral, school paper advisers, at relevant personnel sa kahalagahan ng responsible journalism at fair and ethical na paggamit ng social media.
“Campus journalism empowers the community and the country to rise above the pandemic, to share correct and truthful information, to be patient, to be understanding, and to be aware, of vicious attacks, of cruel criticism at this time of finger-pointing,” pahayag ni Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones.
Sa temang ‘Pahayagang Pangkampus: Kaagapay sa Paghilom at Pagbangon ng Sambayanan,’ itinampok sa 2021 NSPC ang online training workshops sa iba’t ibang journalistic genres katulad ng Editorial and Column Writing, News and Feature Writing, Sports Writing, Photojournalism, Editorial Cartooning, Radio Scriptwriting and Broadcasting, TV Scriptwriting and Broadcasting, Infomercial, at Online Publication.
