HONG KONG — Multimedia editors from the Asia News Network (ANN) on Monday convene in a two-day meeting in Hong Kong (China) on effectively sharing video content.

Hosted by China Daily Asia Pacific, the meeting gathered editors from eight countries including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, and Việt Nam to discuss effective ways to share video content among the ANN newsrooms.

During the meeting, the editors also took turns updating each other on their newsroom operations and how they are adapting to trends in news consumption with the growing popularity of social media platforms. They also discussed new collaborative projects to pursue.

Zhou Li, deputy editor-in-chief of China Daily Group and publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily Hong Kong, welcomed the video editors, reporters and other journalists representing media organizations that are members of the Asia News Network as they gathered in the southern district of Hong Kong to share their ideas.

“As members of ANN, we are united by a common mission: to exchange and share stories and pictures, enriching our content and benefiting each member within our network. This spirit of collaboration is just as crucial in our video endeavours,” Zhou said.

“Video has become a powerful tool for communication and storytelling, and as leading media outlets in Asia, it is vital that we stay at the forefront of this trend.”

Over two days of discussions, the journalists shared their experiences and knowledge, as well as getting to know one another’s operations to foster an environment of collaboration.
