本研究探讨1996年台湾第一次总统选举期间，电视如何报道竞选活动和候选人。对6家电视台晚间新闻报道的内容分析表明，国有广播电视台远比私营有线电视台更有可能以执政党官员为主要新闻来源，对执政党总统和副总统候选人进行更多的报道和录音。电视台的报道也包含了比其他候选人更多的有利于执政党候选人的新闻。未来，台湾电视选举报道与一般新闻报道，都可能出现转机。三家国有广播电视台面临着来自私营有线电视台的竞争，除非它们能够提供不受政府控制的公平和平衡的新闻，否则可能很快就会面临失去公众信任和观众的问题。
This research examines how TV reported the campaign and the candidates during Taiwan's first‐ever presidential election in 1996. A content analysis of evening news coverage of six TV stations indicated that the state‐owned broadcast TV stations were far more likely than the privately owned cable TV stations to give a greater amount of coverage and soundbites to the ruling party presidential and vice presidential candidates, using the ruling party officials as principal news sources. The TV Stations’ coverage also contained more news favourable to the ruling party candidates than to other candidates. The future may well see a turning point in TV election coverage as well as in general news coverage in Taiwan. The three state‐owned broadcast TV stations face competition from privately owned cable TV stations and may soon be confronted with the loss of public trust and audience, unless they can provide fair and balanced news free from government control.
