NCKU Launches News Channel With Student Anchor Team - CNBC
TAINAN, Taiwan, Oct 22, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- NCKU TV, the news channel established by the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), southern Taiwan, was launched by NCKU President Hwung-Hweng Hwung on October 15.
Presenting a team of energetic, young student news anchors, Hwung said the launch of NCKU TV represents the beginning of a new era in university news service in Taiwan.
Speaking to the media during the press conference announcing the launch, Hwung noted that the NCKU News Center will be serving as a communication platform between the university and the local community.
The news channel benefits NCKU graduates who are entering the job market, as well as the public who will get a better understanding of the university through the help of the university's news center.
According to Hwung, the NCKU News Center performed at full throttle when one of his predecessors, former NCKU President Dr. Jin Wu, was in office. Wu was full of refreshing new ideas and his close relationship with the media in Taiwan helped elevate the reputation of the university, Hwung said.
Humorously, Hwung made an interesting comparison between the media and boy-girl relationships. "A boy needs to market himself to attract girls," he said.
NCKU News Center shoulders the responsibility of broadcasting the university's academic ideas and research achievements to the public, with the hope that NCKU graduates will not only be favorable for corporate firms, but also draw attention from corporate leaders.
Dr. Alex Tang, director of NCKU News Center, said, "This is all about the students. The opportunity and experience that they are getting from working with NCKU News Center is something that they cannot find in the classroom." Anita Hsu is one of the up and coming student news anchors who was at the conference. "It was nice to hear the encouraging words from the president. I was really surprised to see so many people supporting the event. It was truly an honor to be part of it." NCKU News is quickly developing, and it is expecting to expand in many directions. This semester it recruited its first international students to the team. Kelvin Lye and Jonathan Manson from the Institute of International Management (IMBA) will be bringing an international tint to NCKU News.
