Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, it has had a significant impact on global politics and the economy. Taiwan's coverage of this war has been noticeably higher compared to other conflicts. This research focuses on two case studies: the Crimea referendum and the Nord Stream explosion. These two events are regarded by the West as the beginning of Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory and the profound impact on Europe's energy supply. However, the Russian official stance and certain media outlets hold different perspectives on these matters. By analyzing the discourse and reporting of various media outlets, with particular attention to Taiwan's news sources and information adoption, it was found that regardless of print media, television news, or digitally native news, the exposure of the aforementioned information almost unconditionally adopted the viewpoints of mainstream Western media. When faced with different perspectives in reporting, they tended to choose or avoid presenting them. The research suggests that from 2014 to 2023, our coverage of significant events in the Russia-Ukraine conflict appeared more like an echo chamber of British and American narratives rather than independent reporting from Taiwanese media. |
