2023 Citizen Journalism Teacher Training Workshop: Empowering PeoPo citizen journalists to teach at community universities

PeoPo and community universities have a close working relationship, and citizen journalism courses offered by community universities better enable citizen journalists to cover local issues. Recently, to nurture more committed citizen journalists and bring more teachers into community universities, the Promotion of Community Universities (NAPCU), Sin Yang Ping Community University, and PeoPo co-organized a workshop.

More than twenty community colleges and nearly a hundred citizen journalists attended the 2023 Citizen Journalism Teacher Training Workshop. Moreover, PTS Chairperson Hu Yuan-hui also came to the workshop to give support and encouragement. After a wonderful day of sharing and discussion, we hope that many more experienced citizen journalists will join the ranks of community universities as teachers to promote concern for public affairs and help citizen journalism blossom.
