Some thoughts

Please add your suggestions or ideas about CJU here:

  • Hello,I am Jhih-Jie Lai form Taiwan. Nowaday, citizen journalism is popular in Taiwan. Comparing with Taiwan's news enviornment, citizen journalism can report much more important news in our country. TBS(PTS) broadcast the CJ reporting in Taiwan. It is an important step in Taiwan. I hope CJ reporting can become popular really in Taiwan.
  • Hello everyone, I’m meng-shan tsai. Citizen journalism is the current of the world. Taiwan Broadcasting System set up the citizen journalism platform —PeoPo(people post)to develop the citizen journalism. PeoPo is professional and complete platform.Welcome to join PeoPo :) 
  • 大家好，我是宜靜。歡迎大家一起來加入PeoPo公民記者，共同來關心我們生活周遭的人事物!!:)
  • I'm ilya, here are my thoughts:
    • What is the eco-system of citizen journalism? (is it helpful or valuable to let us know who is exploiting citizen journalism?)
    • How to support (not exploit) citizen journalism? (encouraging production, facilitate dissemination, encouraging read and review of citizen journalism)
    • If we could bring online blog article, or journalism produced, connecting to offline real world event, what could we do? (like bloggers contributing to Losheng Sanatorium)
