Co-curricular activities, based on Article 50, Sections 180–182 of the EVSU 2017 Revised University Students’ Handbook, include campus journalism, which is protected under Republic Act No. 7079 (Campus Journalism Act of 1991). EVSU supports press freedom and encourages student journalism to help build critical thinking, ethical values, and communication skills.
Each EVSU campus has a Student Publications Office (SPO) that manages its official student newspaper or magazine. Here are the official publications for each campus:
* EVSU-Main (Tacloban City) – The Industrial Wheel
* EVSU-Burauen Campus – An Sulog
* EVSU-Carigara Campus – Talutang
* EVSU-Ormoc City Campus – The Observer
* EVSU-Tanauan Campus – Batingaw
These publications are funded by the student publication fee and are open to contributions from any enrolled student. Anyone interested in joining must apply, submit writing samples, and pass a qualifying or competitive examination. Only bona fide students with a GWA of 2.5 or better and no failing or incomplete grades can join. The top performer in the exam becomes the Editor-in-Chief, and the rest of the qualified applicants serve as staff writers.
Editorial board members are entitled to free tuition and fees (unless they already have a scholarship). They serve for one semester, and their positions end upon graduation. A faculty adviser, appointed by the University President, oversees the editorial and administrative functions of the publication.
