In 1995, reporters from the Taiwan Times and the United Daily News were attacked and seriously injured in Taichung by unknown assailants. This led the ATJ to begin a campaign against violence and threats against the news media. The campaign gathered together more than 1,000 people to ask the government to protect the safety of reporters.
