Notability references

Taipei Times, the English language sister to Taiwan's much larger Liberty Times (one of the island's three largest newspapers). The Taipei Times' circulation is 285,000. Articles:
- "English tutor to generations". Excerpts:
  - "For her half century of service to Taiwan, Brougham was awarded the Order of the Brilliant Star with Special Grand Cordon -- the nation's highest non-military decoration -- and was made an honorary civil servant of the highest level by President Chen Shui-bian in 2002."
  - "Not that the current tenant of the Presidential Office was the first head of state to grant Brougham an audience. She met with Chiang Kai-shek on several occasions, and as if all this hobnobbing wasn't enough to impress, Brougham was also a firm favorite of Soong Meiling, or Madame Chiang Kai-shek, as she was known by much of the world."
  - "Soong was such a fan of Brougham's television program, The Voice of Heavenly Melodies, in fact, that when the network decided to cancel the show, she used her considerable power to have it put back on air."--A. B. ^(talk) 22:16, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- "Foreigners get rare residency status"
- "A half century of teaching Taiwan"
- "Love for the country has to be more appreciated" editorial. Problems with Brougham's residency status became an embarassment and provoked a national discussion over immigration reforms. Excerpts:
  - "Bjarne Gislefoss, former superintendent of the Puli Christian Hospital, his wife Alfhild Gislefoss Doris Brougham, founder of the English magazine Studio Classroom, have dedicated themselves to Taiwan for over 40 years. They are more Taiwanese than some Taiwanese people, but they cannot obtain permanent residency visas under current regulations."
  - "Only through parades and petitions are they able to attract the government's attention. No wonder the media has raised doubts that the threshold for loving Taiwan enough to become permanent residents is too high." --A. B. ^(talk) 22:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Google:
- Taiwan: I got the Chinese characters for Ms. Brougham's name from the "Love for country" editorial cited above. I then put quotes around them and plugged them into Google's Taiwanese search page. This produces 82,500 hits. I tried to paste the Chinese characters and the Chinese search results URL into this edit and could not get the MediaWiki software to accept it from my browser (I probably need to use some sort of specal markup language). Others are free to do the same thing. Caveat: I do not understand Chinese.
- English: Google.com search on "Doris Brougham" produces 580 hits, 229 unique. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by A. B. (talk • contribs) 21:00, 23 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
  - Comment: when I looked at the results past the first 100, many were partially in Chinese. Nevertheless, I suspect they're decent quality -- many were .edu, .edu.tw or .gov.tw domains.[1][2] (By contrast, I have more hits on my own name, but they quickly degenerate into lists of names, passing blog references, old usenet posts of mine, etc. after several dozen hits).--A. B. ^(talk) 21:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

United Daily News article translated into English and hosted on the Taiwanese government's "Taiwan Headlines" site. The United Daily News is one of Taiwan's three largest newspapers:

- Untitled article Long article on reforms in foreign residency requirements spurred after public uproar that Brougham and 3 other highly respected long-time foreign residents could not qualify for legal status.
- "Creativity in Learning" Brougham is mentioned often in this article on technology and English-language instruction. --A. B. ^(talk) 21:30, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Taiwan Journal is a weekly publication of the Government Information Office. Articles:
- "Brougham Faithfully Teaches English, Morality"
- "American educator honored for 50 years of service" -- Excerpt:
  - "The government's recent commendation award for Brougham, which was presented Aug. 14, is part of a long list of citations over the years. In 1997, the Ministry of the Interior presented her the Foreign Missionary's Award and the previous year she received the Honorable Citizen's Award from Taipei City. In 1989, she was honored with the Golden Tripod Award for outstanding contributions to education in Taiwan."
- "Immigration bill prompts discussion of foreigners' rights"
