Highlights: Distinguished International Forum on Journalism, 2025

The Distinguished International Forum on Journalism, co-hosted by the Wei Fund for Educational and Journalistic Excellence and the Society of Publishers in Asia (SOPA), was held on November 1, 2025 at National Chengchi University. Three international SOPA award winners shared the stories behind their award-winning works and engaged in discussions with three Taiwanese laureates, covering cross-border reporting strategies, cultural differences, journalism professionalism, and challenges posed by generative AI.

Key highlights included:

• Patricia Kowsmann (The Wall Street Journal) on investigative reporting of the Philippine scam industry
• Qianer Liu (The Information) on reporting the Nvidia chip smuggling supply chain
• Kathrin Hille (Financial Times) on Taiwan Strait military analysis reporting and collaboration with visual teams

The afternoon roundtable focused on how Taiwanese and Asian stories reach global newsrooms, challenges in cross-border reporting, and career experiences of women journalists. NCCU President Tsai-Yen Li delivered closing remarks emphasizing the Fund’s mission: supporting journalism education, fostering professional growth, and promoting international exchange and public dialogue. 

This forum marked the first SOPA Week held in Taiwan and highlights the Fund’s ongoing commitment to elevating journalistic excellence and global engagement.
