過去20餘年來，在「穩定壓倒一切」的思維邏輯下，中國特色的維穩體系顯著擴張，預示中國正步入維穩國家。維穩體系主要是處理改革、發展與穩定的關係，目的無外乎鞏固中共韌性威權。然而，既往學者從媒介控制角度研究中共威權統治，往往聚焦於改革與發展，漠視已成社會常態的維穩。本研究旨在彌補這一不足，並希望以群體性事件為觀察對象，檢視市場化媒體與維穩之間的統合與衝突。依框架包裹取徑，本文歸納出高壓維穩、開明維穩、官民互動、為民維權四種媒介框架與話語。研究結果發現，面對群體性事件，媒體分別扮演了黨國喉舌、監督者和公眾利益代言人的角色；媒介框架呈現出多元化特徵，但框架並非固定不變，相反潛藏著動態變化的可能；多元衝突的框架實際可以整合到更宏觀的信任與擁護政府的框架中。本研究的另一重要發現是，在嚴格新聞管制之下，媒體最常見的框架建構是開明維穩，表明市場化媒體服從維穩需要仍是主流。這一研究結果在一定程度上解釋了市場化媒體如何鞏固中共威權統治。 / Over the past two decades, the systematic stability maintenance apparatus has expanded dramatically under the logic of “stability overrides everything”, which indicates that China is turning into a security state. The operation of Stability Maintenance mainly deals with the relationship between reform, development and stability. The purpose is nothing less than strengthening the CCP’s resilient authoritarianism. However, Stability Maintenance has been ignored when researchers who study China’s authoritarian rule from the perspective of media control paid much attention to the reform and development. Choosing mass incidents as case study, this paper aims to cover the shortage mentioned above, and examines the relationship between market-oriented media and Stability Maintenance. By taking framing package approach, this paper showed that mass incidents were framed as one of the following: coercion, enlightened coercion, official-civil interaction, and legal rights safeguarding. This study found that market-oriented media played different roles as party-state mouthpiece, supervisors and spokesperson for the public interest. It also showed that the pluralistic frames of mass incidents actually can be integrated into a broader pro-government frame. More important, enlightened coercion became the most common frame under tight news censorship. It indicated that market-oriented media subjected to the necessity of Stability Maintenance is still the mainstream for media coverage on mass incidents. To a certain extent this result explained how market-oriented media sustain the CCP’s authoritarian rule.
