Livestream comes off despite the jitters

For print media workers, the term "video livestreaming" had little relevance five years ago when the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China convened in Beijing.

At that time, live broadcasts were the privilege of television correspondents, and most traditional media outlets around the globe imitated TV-style live reports in their online videos.

Most of the print media at that time was not yet integrating various online and offline channels - let alone producing social media videos - all of which are blossoming today.
