新聞賦權：一般婦女參與線上新聞公民平台之初探性研究

Journalistic Empowerment: An Exploratory Study of Women and Citizen Media/ Citizen Journalism

本文從性別化生存心態的觀點，檢視一般婦女進入新聞公民平台內其新聞賦權的可能性。藉由調查18位女性受訪者，本文有三項發現。首先，婦女參與新聞公民平台的動機不全然是為了新聞賦權，其中有些人甚至不太瞭解新聞的運作，只是單純想分享資訊。其次，新聞公民平台雖然能讓婦女擁有新聞賦權的機會，但其參與新聞行列，仍須面對女性專業記者所遭遇的問題，包含外貌、體型、女性特質，甚或家庭的勞務分配等，這些性別因素都會限制並左右其新聞表現。最後，性別化生存心態並非自動複製女性的附屬性，而是在進／出場域時，婦女不斷和場域的規則、資本及位置進行協商。

In view of gendered habitus, this article examines how citizen media and citizen journalism can empower women. Based on 18 female respondents, there are three major findings. First, women’s motivations in citizen journalism are not entirely for journalistic empowerment, some of them do not even know the journalistic operation, but simply want to share information. Second, citizen journalism platforms not only empower women, but also restrict them. Women still face the problems of female reporters, such as the appearance, size, femininity, even gendered division of household labor. These gendered factors are able to limit and influence their performance of citizen journalism. Finally, women’s gendered habitus do not automatically reproduce their subordination, when they go in/out the journalistic field. Women constantly negotiate with the rules, capitals and positions of the journalistic fields.
