After joining the Taiwan Public Television Service Foundation (PTS), Cindy Shyu initially served as a producer in the News Department, earning the 10th Taiwan Outstanding Journalist Research Award in 1999. From 2005 onward, she served as the Director of the Planning Department, where she led teams in the production of numerous popular drama series. Since August 2020, she has held the position of Acting President at PTS, officially assuming the role of President in August 2022.

During her tenure as President of PTS since 2022, international co-operation has been a key focus.

These collaborations encompass a wide range of program genres, including documentaries, reality shows and dramas. This year, PTS will collaborate with PMA to co-organize an international symposium exploring “Opportunities and Challenges Faced by PSM in the Age of AI,” further advancing the development of an international communication network.
