As the Legislative Yuan reviews the national budget, TaiwanPlus has become a focus of discussion. Proposals to defund TaiwanPlus threaten to severely undermine Taiwan’s international media outreach.
In a global media landscape that continues to evolve, Taiwan's complex geopolitical position makes international communication increasingly important. As Taiwan's first English-language public media platform, TaiwanPlus was established to share Taiwan's stories, perspectives, and values with audiences around the world. Our international and local Taiwanese teams have worked together to produce trusted journalism, tell stories that reflect Taiwan's diverse society, and uphold the standards of public service broadcasting. This dedication deserves recognition and support.
TaiwanPlus has consistently refined its news production processes, increased the proportion of Taiwanese talent, strengthened its focus on a Taiwanese perspective, and adopted International News Production Guidelines that incorporate principles reflecting the Taiwanese viewpoint. These efforts are intended to ensure that its news coverage reflects the diversity of Taiwanese society and politics while connecting Taiwan with the world and presenting Taiwan to the international community.
TaiwanPlus is a public asset belonging to all citizens of Taiwan. Our team includes Taiwanese professionals who have returned home, international friends who have chosen to build their lives in Taiwan, and talented local Taiwanese journalists and creators. Together, they help connect Taiwan with the world through accurate, independent, and internationally accessible reporting and content.
Despite the challenges we have faced, we remain unwavering in our mission. We are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our operations to uphold the highest standards of journalism and public service.. We respectfully call on lawmakers and the public to support TaiwanPlus and its mission. Sustaining Taiwan's first international public media platform is an investment in Taiwan's ability to engage global audiences and ensure its stories continue to be heard.
