To-wen Tseng (Chinese: 曾多聞) is a Taiwanese American journalist, author, and breastfeeding activist. She is best known for her regular news spot "To-wen's World Report (Chinese: 多聞看世界)" on KSCI-TV (LA-18), the Asian-language station served Southern California. She has authored seven books, all in Mandarin Chinese.
Tseng's other writing has appeared on Rhythms Monthly, Travel+Leisure Chinese Edition, World Moms Network, and elsewhere. Her fiction work has appeared on World Journal and elsewhere. Her book Měiguó dú xiě jiàoyù jiào wǒmen de liù jiàn shì (Six lessons for Chinese literacy education, from American classroom) is a national best seller in Taiwan.[1] Her Chinese-language blog was a Global Chinese-language Blog Award finalist for current affairs/commentary category.
Tseng received a master's degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University. When she started her career as a criminal reporter for United Daily News and then TVBS in 2005, an Apple Daily series report described her as "the reporter in underwear"[2][3] because she once posted for Modern Girl, a Taiwanese retailer of women's lingerie.[4][5] The series report badly hurt her credibility and eventually resulted her moving to United States in 2006 to rebuild her career.[6]
