Sylvia Feng is the producer of a new political TV drama, “Island Nation" - which looks at Taiwan from 1990-94 during its transition to democracy. Today, Sylvia and J.R. discuss the media industry in Taiwan and the challenges media and creative professionals face today. Feng has had over three decades of experience in broadcast journalism, including a long career in Taiwan’s public television network, of which she helped to build and later came a president.
The challenge of balancing politics, profit, and creative freedom in an ever-changing, increasingly competitive market is a global issue, and this is The Taiwan Take.
