History

Before 1929, the students of the Ateneo de Manila persistently demanded for a newspaper that would provide them with information on school activities and achievements of the alumni.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} To answer to this need,{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} The GUIDON was founded on June 22 by 1929. by Rev. Frank O'Hara, SJ, with Manuel C. Colayco as the first editor-in-chief.^[3]^[4]

In the 1930s, the paper immersed itself in national issues with a Catholic slant, and loudly protested a proposed divorce bill. Its operations ceased when the World War II broke out, and operations resumed in 1946 under the editorship of Max Soliven. As the paper began to promote peace, its goals expanded from recording Ateneo history-in-the-making and serving to include pieces that were more socially relevant.^[5]

The 1950s saw the paper displayed abroad, with numerous awards given to it. The Columbia Scholastic Press Association and the Associated Collegiate Press consistently recognized the excellence of the newspaper.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

In the 1960s, The GUIDON filled its pages with the feasibility of co-education in the University. In addition, critical appraisals of the Ateneo system sought to bring the Atenean "down from the hill"—a protest to the dominance of the elite in Philippine society.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

In the 1970s, the paper involved itself in the greater national situation. The years leading to martial law saw Volumes 38 and 39 of The GUIDON produced as Ang Pandayan. The paper's Editorial Board likewise found itself split, leading to publication of two versions of The GUIDON. {{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}However, before the legitimacy of either one could be established, Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law, forcing both papers to temporarily shut down. In 1973, The GUIDON was the first{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} student newspaper to resume operations after martial law was declared.

After women were admitted to the university beginning 1973, co-education began to affect The GUIDON, who had Chao Chuatico appointed as its first female editor-in-chief.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} The assassination of Benigno Aquino Jr. in 1983 paved the way for the paper to be more involved in national issues. Since then the paper has actively covered and critiqued issues of national concern.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

Due to advancements in technology, the 1990s witnessed the abandoning of cut-and-paste methods for updated computer technology. In 1995, the paper came out in two separate sections, instead of one as it had in the past.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} The GUIDON also grew as an organization, creating staffs like Operations, Human Resources, and Marketing. During this period, the paper also increased its involvement in legislation, proposing amendments to the Campus Journalism Act of 1991. {{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}

The Athlete of the Year Award from the 1940s was renamed "The GUIDON Moro Lorenzo Award for Sports". The paper's Research Department was rechristened the "Inquiry Team". The GUIDON also came up with Pamaskong Handog, an outreach program.

The GUIDON 's recent history saw the separation of Features and Inquiry from the main section. In the year 2003-2004, the human resources arm Training and Development Team was formed{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}, assigning Willard Cheng as its first manager. The Operations staff was also rechristened the Externals staff.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} The full-color Beyond Loyola section, which deals with social, political, and economic issues outside the Ateneo, was created by Associate Editor Paterno Esmaquel II in 2007.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} With the need to provide news beyond traditional media, Broadcast News was founded by then Social Media Manager Briane Dela Peña in 2017, becoming the first to do so among all University Publications in Metro Manila.

The GUIDON 's lifestyle magazine was also created online. From being the alternative Alt+G{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}}, the e-zine g magazine was launched in 2008.{{Citation needed|date=June 2009}} In 2012, it was relaunched as Katipunan Magazine.^[6] In 2014, the website was relaunched once again as Vantage Magazine in an effort to bring it back to the Atenean.
