在民主政治中，所謂「第四權」的大眾傳播媒體，具有監督國家的功能。大眾傳播媒體的自由與獨立的程度，乃是民主化的重要指標之一。本論文旨在探究普丁時期，俄羅斯大眾傳媒體與政權的關係。 俄羅斯大眾傳播媒體的功能與運作模式，隨著蘇聯解體與民主轉型，有著重大的改變。然而，普丁政權藉由「愛國主義」和「管理式民主」，對俄國傳媒進行控制，從新聞自由的角度來看，此舉造成了俄國民主的倒退。 普丁藉由國家控股公司、大眾傳播媒體法，以及限制國外媒體等手段，達成媒體國家化的目標。雖然電視深受俄國人民喜好與信賴，但是多屬國營電視台。作者分析了政治對大眾傳播媒體的影響，尤其是電視台在處理俄國總統大選及對於反恐怖行動的新聞及議題設定上，均可看出克里姆林宮高層所操作的痕跡。 / The mass media, the so-called fourth estate, have a function of oversight over the state in democratic politics. The extent of the mass media’s freedom and independence is one of the important criteria of democratization. The thesis aims to explore the relations between the mass media and regime in Putin’s Russia. The functions and operational mode of Russian mass media have changed significantly after the collapse of the Soviet Union and during democratic transition. However, the mass media have been under regime’s control through “patriotism” and “managed democracy” in the Putin era, and that has caused Russia’s democratic setbacks from the perspective of press freedom. The Putin regime used state holding companies, laws on the mass media, and limitations on foreign media to achieve the goal of nationalizing the mass media. Television is popular and trusted by Russian people, but most of Russia’s TV stations are under state control. The author analyzes the political effects of the Kremlin-controlled mass media, especially the impact of television broadcast on presidential elections and anti-terrorism campaign.
