Abstract
School Press Conference in primary education is possibly one of the most complex and sensitive topics because one has to deal with young minds that are somehow untainted. This study analyzes lived experiences of school press conference coaches in the elementary grades. It used an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). It involved using a semi-structured interview questionnaire to gather the needed responses. Also, it utilized purposive sampling to select coaches who provided the pertinent information for the study. The findings of this study drew the following conclusions: The lived experiences of schools' press conference coaches have shown the dynamics of their involvement in campus journalism. Coaching young campus journalists proved to be no easy task; thus, challenges like inadequate knowledge and skills, role conflict, and lack of training hindered their capacity to give the young writers all the preparations they needed for the competition. Conversely, recognition, promotion, and development were the benefits they received from coaching. To prepare the coaches and campus journalists for competitions, they were keen to raise their need for a training workshop and campus journalism and coaching consistency.
