A journalist for the Australian Chinese Daily

                Hello everyone, hope you are all good. I am [NAME], and I work for Australian Chinese Daily as a journalist. This is basically the largest Chinese newspaper in Australia that was first published on 19 March 1987 in Sydney. Australian Chinese Daily was established by Sandra Lau, an entrepreneurial Chinese immigrant, and the vision of the founder was to bridge the strengths and gap links between China and Australia. Australian Chinese Daily has witnessed various revolutions since its formation. The Australian Chinese Daily is a manufacturer and distributor that has an infomediary business model. The Australian Chinese Daily has two complementary weekend magazines, i.e. Australian Chinese Weekly, which are most influential and widely read daily publication in the Chinese language in Australia. This is only and the first newspaper in Australia that is published in the Chinese language. The latest news for Australian Chinese Daily are sourced from news sources of amalgamated Australian news as well as Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China and interpreted in a way that answers the local community needs, with a mix of entertainment, sports, politics, business and features, and international and local news (ACD, 2019).

        Being a journalist at the Australian Chinese Daily, my duties and responsibilities include evaluating leads, receiving assignments for newspaper stories, editing as well as revising work for the editorial approval, and working in collaboration with production staff, editors, and reporters. Moreover, I am responsible for collecting information through investigation, observation, interviews, and research for newsworthy stories. I travel to different locations for Australian Chinese Daily to find relevant and current details for events that are newsworthy after the fact and in real-time. My job responsibilities include relationship development within community and building sources’ network for interviews. I take photographs, record audios, and make movies to document facts and events (Wang, 2016).

            As a whole, I have been enjoying working for the Australian Chinese Daily, and I would love to continue my services for the newspaper because it is based on China, and I belong to China. I am familiar with the culture of China, and I can collect a good piece of information for the newspaper even sitting in Australia. I do not argue that the Australian Chinese Daily is not a depressed or dreary place. However, it is not. There is a lot of fun while working, and I always wanted to change the world, I believe, Australian Chinese Daily is a platform to make my dream come true. I have learned various lessons along this journey with Australian Chinese Daily; the newspaper has helped me keep going and pick myself up always. I am good at the Chinese language; I can speak Chinese, write Chinese, and understand Chinese; in a nutshell, I love the Chinese language. Australian Chinese Daily keeps me connected to my favourite language in many ways, and this is one of the great motivations to keep working with the Australian Chinese Daily. Journalism is a field where you learn new and unending things daily, you face threats and fears, but you fight, you fight for the truth!
