Established exactly a decade ago in April 2007, PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform is proud to announce its 10-year anniversary, an important milestone for both the PeoPo platform and citizen journalism. To mark this grand occasion, PeoPo recently organized the 2017 PeoPo Citizen Journalism Symposium, inviting professionals, scholars and citizen journalists to discuss the development of citizen journalism in Taiwan.
The 2017 PeoPo Citizen Journalism Symposium covered four main topics including Recollections and Reflections: The Development of Citizen Journalism in Taiwan over a Decade; Citizen Journalism and Citizen Journalists; Citizen Journalism in the Community, Campus, and Non-profit Organizations; and The Future of Citizen Journalism over the next Decade. Citizen journalists from around the country attended the symposium, conscientiously recording the day’s proceedings and sharing ideas. At the event, PTS President, Wen-Chieh Tsao, encouraged all aspiring citizen journalists to have confidence in their work and not be disheartened by perceived technological barriers in video production.
It is our sincere hope that through events just like this year's PeoPo Citizen Journalism Symposium, where people from all walks of life can gather to exchange and discuss ideas, citizen journalism will continue to take root and be the voice for communities throughout Taiwan in the coming decade.
