Welcome to the first episode of Taiwan News Junkie, coming to you from the TaiwanPlus newsroom. Hosts Charlie Storrar and Andrew Ryan kick things off with a behind-the-scenes look at how we put the news together, plus conversations with reporters on the ground. This week: Assignment Editor Chia Chang walks us through how stories move from idea to air.  Reporter’s Notebook – Cadence Quaranta takes us inside a “dementia village” in Taiwan, where residents are aging locally with dignity and community.  Taiwan Fun Fact – Why do Taiwanese celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with barbecues? Hint: it involves a 1980s TV ad and a surplus of grills.  Tune in every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for Taiwan’s top stories, newsroom insights, and features from TaiwanPlus journalists.
