一談到有關系上的事，雙眼變得炯炯有神，做起事比誰都要積極，他是大傳學程的老師林鴻亦。任教新聞報導相關領域，對於傳播媒體與社會創新之間十分關注，關於系上的相關資訊，問系主任準沒錯。

系上的新聞報導領域課程相當實務化，現有的實習媒體除了輔大之聲、輔訊電子報之外，林鴻亦說，「大二下學期就必須參與新籌設的實習媒體《龜新視界》」，這是包括了鄉里動態、社會創新、環境永續、族群共榮、人文匯聚的「社區媒體」，在社區能量逐漸受到各方重視的台灣社會，以在地為訴求的媒體將是新聞報導學域發展的方向。

而問到為什麼是龜山時，林鴻亦說，「因為日間部新聞系長期經營的《新莊報導》在地方上已經是不可或缺的媒體了」。而桃園市龜山區除了鄰近輔大校區以外，小小的龜山地區擁有各種不同的人文環境，像是生態保護區、田野區、工業區，甚至有許多平埔族原住名的聚落，要求學生主動採集媒體史料。林鴻亦表示，只要好好磨練，各種類型的新聞報導都能被訓練到。

到了大三上學期則是要藉由新聞報導參與龜山地區的社區營造工作，而社區（community）本來就與傳播（communication）相關，社區營造的首要之務就是要建立地區的傳播環境，這時以新聞報導作為引子，建立出人與人之間的「人際傳播」就新聞報導學域應該努力的「傳播社群經營」。而大三下學期則是開始修習「科學報導」、「專題報導寫作」等，整個「新聞報導學域」想培養的學生是未來能夠重視「環境生態」、「科學新知」、「社區營造」等議題的媒體人。

除了實務的新聞編採能力外，林鴻亦說「好奇心與觀察能力更是這個產學界的標準配備。」生活中的問題無所不在，發現問題後的追根究柢，過程中的舉一反三，最後懷著「謙虛」向各方專家取得答案，幫助社會上沒有時間去追討真相的普羅大眾。

可以等上了大學再來訓練嗎？林鴻亦表示，在高中時期就能可以學著寫寫東西，試著創作，許多平台都是發揮的空間，特別是可以針對自身有興趣的領域做廣泛的閱讀，參考前輩是如何鋪成故事，最後在自己的創作上實踐出來。林鴻亦也推薦輔大新聞傳播學系經營的《生命力新聞》，「這是高中生理解台灣社會最好的讀物」。

最後，老師拿起書架上的兩本書推薦給有意就讀傳播相關領域的高中學子，《記者，你為什麼不反叛－調查報導的構想與實現》由資深記者所寫，在未來可能會有很多發稿的工作被人工智慧所取代，但深入的調查報導，卻能夠屹立不搖；《全民書寫運動》裏頭有許多很好的寫作範例，能培養自己的觀點更為專業以及切中要點。

HUNG YI LIN

As the topic shifts to the latest developments at the department, Director Hungyi Lin’s eyes light up. Teaching journalism, Director Lin keeps close watch on the relationship between communications media and social innovation. Of course, if you want to know what’s going on at the department, who better to ask than the director himself?

Journalism courses are very much focused on the practical. In addition to the radio stations and online newspaper where students can perform internships, Director Lin says, “We’re working right now on two other media platforms for student internships.” Third-year students must take Environmental Journalism, which focuses on ecological and environmental issues, and aims to establish a deeper connection between students and their home soil. Fourth-year students must contribute to the online View from Guishan. Not far from campus lies the little district of Guishan. It offers a diverse environment, including the ecological conservation zone, farm fields, industrial areas, and villages belonging to the plains indigenous peoples. Students go to Guishan seeking material for news reports. Director Lin says that as long as students are willing to put in the hard work, they should be able to train themselves in all different types of media.

Director Lin says that besides the practical sides of news-gathering, “Curiosity and observational skills are industry standards you must bring to the table.” Problems exist everywhere in life. After discovering one, you have to get to its roots, make inferences, and then humbly seek out experts for the answer, helping average citizens, who have no time to explore it for themselves, understand the truth.

Can you wait to get started in university? Director Lin suggests students start working on their writing skills while still in high school and try their hand at producing something. There are lots of avenues to explore creativity. You can start by reading widely in a field which interests you and see how your predecessors wrote stories, then incorporate those techniques in your own writing practice and production.

Towards the end of the interview, Director Lin takes two books off the shelf, which he recommends to all high school students interested in the program. The first, written by the well-known journalist, Caroline Lin, is Why Not Rebel, You Journalists? – The Conception and Production of Investigative Journalism. While advances in artificial intelligence could mean that much news reporting may be handled by computers in the future, in-depth investigative reporting will remain the protected sphere of human journalists. The other book he recommends is The Uses of Digital Literacy, which contains many examples of quality writing, which can help students enhance their professionalism and gain insight into how to decipher the main points of a story.
