Audiovisual workshop cultivates new talent: A renaissance in high-quality citizen journalism

Every year, the PeoPo Citizen Journalism Platform organizes a two-day and one-night audiovisual workshop, inviting citizen journalists with outstanding reporting performance and potential to participate. The robust, exciting nature of the workshop attracts citizen journalists from the central and southern parts of the country, who travel north with their luggage in tow to attend. This year, the youngest participant was a girl in junior high school. During the workshop, citizen journalists were divided into four groups, with each group's teacher giving hands-on shooting and editing instruction, as well as passing on valuable production experience.

In addition to classroom sessions, everyone took advantage of the beautiful afternoon to step outside and conduct shooting and interviews on the spot in Yuanshan, Beitou, Qilian, and Tamsui. During the two-day workshop, citizen journalists not only observed and learned from each other's strengths but also got to identify their own blind spots and had an opportunity to exchange experiences. We look forward to everyone's collective efforts to continue producing high-quality citizen journalism!

影音工作坊培育新力 再創高質感公民新聞

PeoPo公民新聞平台每年會舉辦兩天一夜的影音工作坊，邀請報導表現出色、有潛力的公民記者參加進修。因為課程紮實精彩，來自中南部的公民記者，紛紛拖著行李北上參加，其中今年年紀最小的，是位目前在就讀國中的女孩。影音工作坊將學員共分為四組，由各組老師親自指導拍攝、剪輯技巧，並將許多製作經驗傳承給公民記者。

除了在教室研習，大家也趁著午後美好時光走出教室，分別在圓山、北投、唭哩岸、淡水實際拍攝、採訪。在兩天一夜的工作坊課程中，公民記者除了觀摩學習到別人的優點，也看到了自己的盲點，讓彼此有經驗交流的機會，期待大家一起努力，繼續努力產出優質的公民新聞！
