Focusing on the China Times, the United Daily News and the Liberty Times, this thesis analyses their reports and commentaries on communication 'policies', discusses the 'policies' from politics, technology, and cross-strait relations aspect, between 2016 and 2022. Differences of their coverage are explored, reasons giving rise to their divergences are investigated, and significant policy issues not represented in the media are emphasised. Seven 'policies' as presented in the media are carefully scrutinised. They are 'setting up Taiwan Creative Content Agency and TaiwanPlus', re-electing PTS's board of governors, (not) regulating OTT and iQiYi, enacting 'News Bargaining Act' and 'Digital Intermediary Service Act'. All three dailies endorse setting up 'Taiwan Creative Content Agency' and enacting 'News Bargaining Act'. For the other five 'policies', the media's perspectives on 'cross-strait relations' and correspondingly their political affiliations cast significant impacts upon how these policies were covered, though media's respective interest normally has its say in related representation. It's further discovered that 'politics-oriented' items mostly touch upon what government has or has not done, 'technology-oriented' items are mainly on law-makers' ideas and legal texts proper, and 'cross-strait relations' items necessarily reflect the dailies' perspectives. What is missing in all three dailies are resources needed for fulfilling promises of policies concerned, and in the meantime, practical constraints the press and the audio-visual industry have been suffering is as well not attended. |
