解讀「九九新公民運動」在凱達格蘭大道的新聞照片—以聯合報與自由時報為例

Abstract

本研究為解讀「九九新公民運動」在凱達格蘭大道的新聞照片—以聯合報與自由時報為例，共收集2006年9月10日到9月15日，共計六天的聯合報與自由時報兩報全國版倒扁新聞照片，聯合報127張.、自由時報47張照片，並以內容分析法、和質化研究文本分析法了解兩家報社如何運用新聞攝影來報導「九九新公民運動」的社會運動。

以了解兩家報社在新聞攝影上關注焦點為何、如何呈現此運動的樣貌。而新聞攝影與圖說和文章之間的關係又為何。以此「九九新公民運動」新聞攝影研究了解攝影在影像的實踐過程之中的社會功用與意義。最終期待了解媒體如何運用新聞攝影來報導、呈現「社會運動」，這是否呈現了「社會運動」的全貌。而不同立場的媒體間呈現出來的差異又有何不同。

研究了解到，聯合報在「九九新公民運動」新聞攝影上以正向全面的角度報導，自由時報在「九九新公民運動」新聞攝影上以消極減化的角度報導。而在相同攝影主題，兩家報社則因意識型態有別，使得圖說造成照片解讀的不同。但研究仍發現，雖家報社在新聞攝影角度不同，但仍有其社會功用，減化、取代新聞內容，並紀錄下社會運動反抗的樣貌。

This study explores newspaper photos of the“99 New Citizen Movement”, which took place in Ketagalan Blvd. This Study uses United Daily News and The Liberty Times as examples and collects Chen-opposing photos from the national layouts of these two news papers, dated from September 10, 2006 to September 15, 2006. A total of 127 photos from United Daily News and 47 ones from The Liberty Times are collected. Content analysis method and text analysis methods are used to analyze the use of photos in the reports of this social movement.

By doing so, this study explores the functions and meanings of photos and words used in these reports. It aims to discover how photos are used to cover and represent social movements in newspaper, and to find out if different stories are told in different newspapers.

The study discovered that United Daily News tends to report the “99 New Citizen Movement” in a positive manner, while The Liberty Times tends to report it negatively. Even with the same theme, they use different descriptive words to lead to different stories. Despite the differences, this study finds that both parties play certain social roles with their coverage of this movement.
