14 Universities Enthusiastically Participate in PeoPo’s Intercollegiate In-depth Reporting 

In the 8 years since its inception in 2007, PTS’s PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform has amassed 100,000 citizen journalist reports, 60,000 of which are video reports – many of the reports touch on issues that are worthy of further exploration.

Collaborating with 14 media-related university departments from around Taiwan to established PeoPo Campus News Centers, PeoPo has encouraged schools to provide more in-depth coverage of local issues. By broadcasting via PTS’s channel network and over the Internet, the influence of such reports has been greatly expanded. PeoPo and the 14 educational institutions recently organized an intercollegiate news conference to announce the significance of this collaborative project.

This project has not only given a great deal of encouragement and affirmation to citizen journalists and campus news centers, but also played a pivotal role in the development of citizen journalism. In this particular collaboration, teacher-student teams from the various campus news centers and PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform selected a number of topical issues for exchange and discussion by citizen journalists.

Following discussions, teachers and PTS producers provided guidance and instruction to students on how to produce more far-reaching reports. Such training has motivated students to walk out of the campus and begin caring for the community, a clear display of the wonderful results from professional media training and civic society exchange.

In the future, PTS intends to integrate in-depth reports from the various schools in a new “PeoPo 30Minutes” program, which will be aired on the PTS channel. In addition, these new programs will be collated and broadcast online through “PeoPo Webcast”.

PeoPo校際深度報導 14所大學熱情參與
 
公共電視PeoPo公民新聞平台成立8年，累積超過10萬則公民新聞，其中6萬則是影音報導，有許多議題值得被進一步的探討；公視PeoPo與各大專院校採訪中心啟動合作，鼓勵各校針對地方議題進行更深入報導，再經由公視頻道與網路播出，以擴大影響力。PeoPo特別也和14所學校，共同舉辦跨校際的記者會，宣示對於這個計畫案的重視。

此企劃案對公民記者與校園採訪中心都是一種鼓舞與肯定，也在公民新聞發展上，具正面的意義。本次合作將由各校校園採訪中心師生團隊於PeoPo平台挑選議題、並與公民記者交流討論後，在指導老師與公視製作人的陪伴下，製作出深度報導，讓學生在校時即可走出校園、關心社區，發揮傳播人的專業訓練成果，與公民社會交流。

未來公視也將整合各校深度報導內容，新闢「PeoPo 30Minutes」節目，於公視頻道播出；此外也將製作專輯內容，於網路節目「PeoPo Webcast」進行線上播映。
