假新聞類型與媒體聚合：以2018年臺灣選舉為例

The Models of Fake News and Media Convergence: An Exploration on the 2018 Taiwan Election

自美國總統大選發生假新聞事件後，假新聞已成為全球關注的議題。本論文以臺灣2018年九合一選舉為研究對象，採用網路民族誌方法進行研究，論文首先歸納假命題、真圖假文與仿新聞媒體網站為國內假新聞三大類型。本論文並且透過「媒體聚合」概念，指出國內社群極化與假新聞關係密切。同時，中國大陸媒體也可能操作假新聞，導致國內新聞媒體報導成功製造兩岸假新聞的現象。

Ever since Donald Trump was elected as President of the U.S., fake news has become an important issue in the global world. This paper thus explores the phenomenon of fake news that appeared during the 2018 election in Taiwan. Based on the online ethnography method, this research concludes that false proposition, images mixed with misinformation, and imitating online news media are the three main models of fake news in Taiwan. Through the concept of media convergence, this paper argues for a strong interaction between extreme political community and fake news during the election. One serious problem in Taiwan is that the mainstream news media are not alert to the manufacturing of fake news coming from China media.
