Based on the public sphere theory, this article aims to analyze public discourses on Taiwan Public Television (TPV) at its initial stage. In addition, we will examine the relationship between the dilemmas TPV board faces today and normative concepts of the public sphere theory. Therefore, we refer to the theoretical framework of Habermas to propose "civil mobilization mode" to guide the discourse analysis. "Civil mobilization mode" advocates that discussing public issues should be from the "pragmatic discourses", "interpretative discourses" to "policy discussion" and have a substantial impact on congressional legislation. After analyzing newspapers reports and the Legislative Yuan official gazettes published from 1993 to 1997, we found that there were too many discussions about political involvements of TPV. Secondly, although citizen groups brought up many "interpretative discourses", ordinary people rarely participated in dialogues. Finally, we argue that even though citizen groups must cooperate with political parties in government agencies and the Legislative Yuan to promote "policy discussion", they must be wary of political manipulations. |
