The TITV Daily News team stood out with its special report, At the Scene of the Overflow: Indigenous Community Rescue Efforts During the Matai’an Creek Disaster, winning the inaugural WIBN Award for Excellence in Journalism!
Umas Suqluman is an alumnus of the Department of Journalism and the In-Service Master’s Program at the College of Communication, National Chengchi University (NCCU).
