Take for example the articles on Taiwan's aboriginal peoples that Sinorama began running in 1980. At that time there was little interest in them, but if those early reports had not been done, by the time society began to get more interested in the topic in the late 1980s, much cultural information would have already been lost. Of course government publications have their own burdens.
就拿光華從民國六十九年開始做的原住民議題來說，當時十分冷僻，但若不是十幾年前就開始經營這條路線，待解嚴後社會逐漸對它產生興趣再做的話，多少文化將已流失，難以追憶。
