台灣媒體亂象主要指台灣於1980年代解嚴後，由於商業媒體（特指新聞媒體）利用暴力、血腥、煽情、炒作與捏造新聞等違反媒體倫理手段增加收視率或報刊發行量之現象。該亂象促使部份人士成立媒體批評團體並對媒體進行監督和批判。如1999年成立之台灣媒體觀察教育基金會、2000年八掌溪事件後成立之「與媒體對抗」運動及2002年成立之新聞公害防治基金會等。媒體批評團體有些偏向要求媒體內容淨化、有些側重人民媒體素養之提昇、有些則偏向批判商業化之媒體環境並要求健全公共媒體空間 。
Types and examples
The types of chaos are listed as follows:
- Even in Taiwan, where the two major parties are divided, it is not easy for the public to notice the news fraud of whitewashing the image of a particular political party. For example, regardless of the election chaos of the Kuomintang or the Democratic Progressive Party, the media are only selective reports and become one of the tools used by politicians. For example, the special report "228 walking through sixty years" produced by San-li TV, on May 8, 2007, took the scenes of the National Government's army executing speculators or members of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China and Hitler's killing Jews in Germany as examples For a documentary fragment of the 228 incident, please refer to the controversy of San-li 228 report.
- The way of reporting, which was originally strictly controlled by the government, was most criticized by some of the interview and reporting methods introduced from Hong Kong by Taiwan's apple daily and one weekly, including the over detailed presentation of bloody and violent incidents, the use of sensational words, and the ugliness of the government's administrative efficiency.
- The act of hyping or even fabricating news in order to increase the audience rating and circulation. A number of media have been found such cases. For example, the foot tail meal incident of a social news reporter and the 31 year old female reporter of a TV station were found kissing an 18-year-old Brazilian mixed race teenager in public in Ximending, Taipei, suspected of hyping the news.
- Due to the low professional ability and attitude of journalists, or the superficial background knowledge of the subject matter of the report, the content of the report is found to have major defects by professionals or even non professionals, but there is no obvious motive for fraud, so it is not classified into the first and the third types.
- The one-sided identification or criticism on the news processing of specific political parties (mainly pan blue and pan green) obviously deviates from the neutral position.
- The news stations repeatedly reported the content of some Facebook articles, which caused some scholars to disagree with this way.
- Using vague and ambiguous News Headlines: similar to item 3, especially the chaos of Taiwan's Internet news caused by the news released on the Internet in order to increase the click rate. For example, in order to counter not wearing masks, minister so and so "decided to do so.". So and so chief of the village , "used this method" to reduce the crime rate in the neighborhood. "You shouldn't do that" if you want to prevent basic diseases correctly.
The following is a discussion of the chaos of Taiwan's traditional news media (including some citizen news' journalist) since the Second World War. Because of the fierce competition in the market, various electronic media in Taiwan want to get more sensational and exciting pictures in exchange for higher ratings, which makes the media's interview behavior itself become a news event and cause social controversy:
Journalist professionalism
- Set up an online search team to collect popular posts or movies on the Internet. They are used to using "exposing the truth on the Internet" and "exposing the truth on the Internet" as titles, and the content is usually copied and pasted. (e.g. disclosure commune, PTT).
- Distorting journalism by forwarding33 letters.
- The reporter asked improper questions, leading to the company's website was jammed.
- Ask the interviewees to perform again: interview at the press conference, and even ask the interviewees to perform the idea again. Out: or self-directed self acting, become a news maker. They often appear in political, social and criminal news interviews. When political figures issue press conference interview notices, reporters are unable to interview on time because they are not punctual, or because they misjudge the importance of the news, but later find out the importance of the news and ask the parties and witnesses to perform again in order to get the news picture, that is, rebuild the news scene. Although most of the interviewees have no choice but to cooperate, However, this move has also been greatly criticized. It means that the media can not grasp the news scene, but try to deceive the audience with the reconstructed images. Even if the contents of the news events are consistent, it is not the original situation when the news happened.
- Serious translation error: in 2016, President trump sent a message on the community website: "Interesting how the U.S. sells Taiwan billions of dollars of military equipment" The key to the translation of this sentence lies in the irony of interest, so it should be translated as: "the United States has sold billions of dollars of military weapons to Taiwan, but I should not connect a congratulatory message from Taiwan. It's really interesting!"However, there are big loopholes in the translation of United Daily News and China times.. Even reporters did not know much about the translation function of the Chinese community website. Chinese saw it trump that trump was showing Chinese on the community website. Or when Japanese professional baseball player Otani Shohei signed a contract with the angels in December 2017, the media translated the English "international signing pool" into "international swimming pool fund" and other puzzling contents.
- They often quote or directly flip through the contents of YouTube films, industrial workshops, or news communes and other major online forums.
