Context

Shanghai's largest traditional media outlet — supported a live news broadcast airing twice weekly
Produced and reported on 20+ stories aired during prime time, including investigative coverage on government accountability
Extended broadcast content into short-form video and WeChat distribution — one piece reached 10K+ views
The discipline here was different from project-based work: weekly live production meant revising and resubmitting stories against tight, recurring deadlines, not a single project cycle — iterative persistence under real time pressure
