Formerly named The Chronicle (established in 1949), Genré is the central student publication of the university.
Genré usually issues a newsletter, Tabloid and/or magazine edition during the first semester, and another newsletter, Broadsheet and/or literary folio during the second semester (frequency of publication is determined according to editorial preference). The editors and staff writers of the publication are known for their achievements in press congresses and other major off-campus competitions and award-giving bodies. For instance Region III's first TOSP awardee (Jerome Dayao) and all of WU-P's Ayala Young Leaders have been editors of the publication.
As a journalistic publication, Genre enjoys editorial independence. Members of the editorial board and staff are selected through a competitive entrance examination every June or July. The adviser is the only personnel designated by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs to handle the publication.
