| 摘要: | 本研究主要探討在資訊社會中的經濟與金融訊息，是透過什麼樣的生產實踐過程被呈現在當代台灣媒體之中。研究者從質性研究角度切入，透過深度訪談及觀察財經新聞的生產者—媒體工作人員，如何在每日工作實踐中選擇、詮釋及再現財經議題。透過文獻分析，研究者發現當代財經新聞報導立基於兩個不同觀點，第一個觀點認為財經新聞必需是提供公眾相關公共知識，使民眾瞭解財經情勢，以作為當代社會知情公民基礎；第二個觀點則強調，財經新聞是服務投資大眾，並提供即時投資訊息及正確解讀企業營運資訊，以作為投資參考。然而，這兩個觀點如何被為財經記者作為實踐的參考依據，至今相關研究仍未能清楚釐清。因此本研究希望站在這兩項對財經新聞的不同立論之上，來探討財經新聞如何被生產的問題。在研究理論架構上，本研究採取實踐理論作為依據，實踐的研究強調社會中的行為者「如何說」與「如何做」的實際層面，將過去研究新聞文化的意識型態或價值觀等抽象層面帶入實際研究層次。根據實踐理論的架構，本研究選擇三個面向分析新聞生產實踐，分別是：（a）新聞生產的原則、價值及專業意理；(b)日常工作的常規、時空條件及媒介特性；以及 (c) 新聞場域中干預新聞實踐的力量等。本研究希望對台灣當代財經新聞生產過程進行深入探究，作為後續相關研究及理論架構依據，同時也希望從實證面探討台灣新聞工作者對財經新聞的認知標準，作為後續財經新聞相關倫理準則建構的參考依據。
The project aims to explore how, in the information age, economic and financial information is presented on Taiwanese media. By adopting in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation methods, the project tries to study how media-workers of economic and financial sectors select, interpret and represent economic and financial issues in their day-to-day production practices. Economic and financial reports in contemporary society are commonly grounded with two viewpoints. On the one hand, this specialist report genre has been seen as vital aspects for improving citizens’ public knowledge and creating the ‘informed citizenry’; one the other hand, some has argued that the core of economic and financial reports serve and provide investors with immediate market information and accurate enterprise data for references of investment. However, how these two different viewpoints guide news-workers news production practices are still ambiguous and not well-studied so far. Therefore, this project will focus on these two viewpoints. As to the theoretical formwork, this research follows the practice theory which emphasizes how practitioners actually do and say within their social practices. Regarding to this, the researcher will focus on three dimensions that are relevant to the making of economic and financial news, including (a) the principles, values and professional ideologies and codes; (b) everyday working routines, time-space conditions and media characteristics; and (c) the forces which intervene the operating logics in the field of economic and financial journalism. This project will take a thorough examination into the process and practices of making economic and financial journalism. This empirical project is expected to be the foundation of the researcher’s following researches and further construction of theoretical frameworks. In the meantime, the research hopes to contribute a better understanding of how media-workers in Taiwan recognize the core nature and the ethic principles of economic and financial news through the empirical investigation. |
