探索網路新聞敘事新方向

Exploring the New Narrative of Internet News

本文認為值此數位工具充斥的時代，正提供一個探索如何因應網路媒體特性，而為說新聞故事帶來新敘事樣貌的契機。為了充份利用網路媒體的新表意資源，本文乃從傳統故事與論述二分的結構切入，提出故事中受論述影響的部份—「情節」，且「情節」的組織結構與發聲位置會隨論述之媒體特性而變化，重新建立受媒體特性影響之新聞敘事結構。在該結構引導下，針對網路超文本與互動性二項特性，誘導出新情節之新聞故事與表達。在數位媒體匯流時代，有必要提出一個含括媒體特性之新敘事結構，以探察不同媒體特性究竟提供新聞敘事哪些表意資源或造成限制，如此才能積極培養說新聞故事的新技藝。

This paper demonstrates that digital tools provide opportunities for new storytelling techniques. To take full advantage of the new media resources and to establish an innovative news narrative structure, the existing research limit and the relationship between narrative and the media were examined. This paper progresses from a discussion on the narrative structure to how the plot of a story is influenced by its discourse, and then to how different media characteristics can change the structure and voice of the involved narrative. A new narrative structure that can be used to explore the hypertext and interactivity of Internet news is described. Finally, this paper discusses the cultivation of news storytelling in the digital age.
