The LEAD is the publication of the Advanced Journalism Class of the University of St. La Salle in Bacolod City, Philippines. It is an independent paper funded by the students of the class themselves. In 2007, The LEAD, the most multi-awarded college publication since 2000 in the College Press Awards, celebrates its 10th year.

The LEAD editors and writers have made use of their Journalism training and have been working as editors, reporters and journalists of national and local newspapers, television and radio organizations.
