台湾网络公民新闻媒体发展及其实践困境

On the Development and Practical Difficulties of Taiwan Citizen Journalism Media

台湾传统主流媒体"社会公器"功能弱化,而网络的高度普及、传播科技的发展,又提供了普通民众新的参与新闻生产的机会,台湾公民新闻兴起,具有一定规模和组织形式的各类网络公民新闻媒体成为台湾公民新闻最具影响力的组织形式。台湾网络公民新闻媒体在具体实践中也面临着诸多问题,主要有:如何避免网络公民新闻媒体沦为蓝绿阵营的传声管道;如何实现独立、可持续运营;开放性与特殊的"新闻把关"制度如何并行;草根性和公共性如何兼容;以及专业记者和公民记者如何有效合作。台湾虽经历民主化改革,但民主政治尚未成熟,民众参与公共事务的热情、理性探讨公共事务的能力、公民媒介素养等还有待提升,同时商业媒体"乱象丛生",公共媒体又存在一些先天不足,种种因素使得台湾网络公民新闻媒体所孕育的能量与资源未能很好整合,在实践中面临一系列困境。

Though Taiwan press freedom has largely expanded after the lifting of Martial law,,media professionalism has deteriorated. With the fast development of web and internet technology,citizen journalism is booming and is gradually recognized by the mainstream media. But in practice Taiwan citizen journalism is still facing many problems such as: independence,sustainable operation,how to enhance citizen journalism's credibility,how to ensure citizen journalism's publicity and how to develop the collaboration between professional and amateur journalists.
