PeoPo Open House Activity Satiates Novice Citizen Journalists

PeoPo Open House activities provide novice CJs with an introduction to the PeoPo citizen journalism platform. Novice CJs are invited along to PTS studios where in addition to learning about the general production and broadcasting environment at PTS, they also learn the ins and outs of the production process at PeoPo. This is a truly wonderful opportunity to meet new CJ acquaintances and build camaraderie, as well as to learn some useful editing and filming tips.

On 25th January 2013, the first Open House activity was held, giving novice CJs the opportunity of witnessing the production and broadcasting process of news programs first-hand. CJs were given the thrilling opportunity to take turns standing in the shoes of the anchor and peer into the camera. The Open House activity opened up the PeoPo offices and welcomed CJs to take a peek at the recording location of the two on-line programs, ‘PeoPo webcast’ and ‘Guest-Editor’. Many of the CJs enjoyed filming their tour of PTS, where they saw PTS staff at work and got acquainted with operations at the television station. At the PeoPo platform, friendly staff gave a comprehensive explanation of how the platform operates and publishes reports.

While the PeoPo News anchor shared her valuable experience with CJs and taught them useful interview skills, novice CJs did not forget to take notes and immediately raised questions when there was a point they never understood. With a teaching process full of fun and laughter, the whole day was cloaked in a wonderfully warm atmosphere. The day’s activities left these novice CJs brimming with enthusiasm and equipped to take their newly learned skills the length and breadth of Taiwan, ensuring important grassroots issues are not neglected. In order not too miss out on up-and-coming Open House activities, the PeoPo team would like to remind all novice CJs that the on-line registration system makes participation just a click away.
