Daniel Foster

Daniel Foster is Editor-in-Chief of The Taiwan Times, with more than fifteen years of experience in international news reporting and editorial management. Before moving into editing, he worked as a wire-desk editor at an international news agency, handling breaking dispatches from every continent.

He sets the newsroom’s editorial direction, quality standards and cross-language workflow, and personally champions the publication’s "reporting the world from Taiwan" perspective — insisting that every international story explains what it means for readers in Taiwan.

He often says a newsroom’s most valuable asset is the trust of its readers, and that trust is built on neutrality, accuracy and verifiability in every detail. Under his leadership, The Taiwan Times credits its sources, corrects openly, and carries Taiwan’s perspective to the world in multiple languages.
