The LaSallian (TLS) is the official student publication of De La Salle University-Manila, under the Student Publications Office. It is the university's English-language newspaper, composed of the University, Sports, Photo, Menagerie, Art & Graphics, and Photo sections.

History

The La Sallian was first released as the official student publication of then De La Salle College in October 24, 1960, under its first Editor in Chief, Polo Santiago Pantaleon. Its name was given by Ernido Agustin in a contest. A series of major changes started in 1992, when the spelling of the publication was officially changed to The LaSallian. Under 1994-1995 Editor in Chief (EIC) Elegio Cabusug, the Features section was renamed Menagerie, which was later introduced as a separate magazine in 2000-2001 under EIC Faith Santiago. The Spoofs (comics) section was also renamed Poptown. Finally in 2002-2003 under EIC Sarah Espina, the banner's font was officially changed from Old English to Times New Roman.

Starting February 2008, the publication has released their issues in magazine format. In his editor's note, S.Y. 2007-2008 Editor in Chief Paulo Mutuc, the change was made to "come up with is a more harmonious marriage between form and function, between what you want to read and what we think you ought to read." It is yet to be determined whether TLS will push through with the change or will revert back to the broadsheet format.
