Cover the truth and guide people into goodness” has been the core philosophy of Dharma Master Cheng Yen on journalism, and the Tzu Chi’s media, including Da Ai TV Station and social media that operated by humanity volunteers have followed the principle for decades. Accordingly, the Constructive Journalism aims to expect journalist to put effort on solving problem instead of merely digging out problem, to be empathy not to stay aside, to be just not to be neutral, to provide positive paradigm instead of negative driven. The ultimate goal of Constructive Journalism is hoping journalist to contribute in building a good, harmonious and peaceful society." (Dr. Rey-Sheng Her)
