2009年底，台灣蘋果日報推出【動新聞】，因為其以3D動畫的方式詳述性侵、暴力等社會新聞，引發輿論批評，而且國家傳播通訊委員（NCC）也明白指出，電視新聞使用3D動畫非真實呈現，換句話說，民間與官方都一致認為電視新聞使用3D動畫恐怕有損新聞的專業性。有鑑於新聞媒體最重要的價值就是「新聞可信度」，因此，本研究遂將一般閱聽眾視研究對象，採取實驗法進行社會新聞使用3D動畫有無，進行新聞可信度差異研究。 　　受測者總計52人，依社會新聞次分類分別為突發新聞、犯罪新聞，又依3D動畫有無，共計分為4組，採t檢定檢驗發現，3D動畫有無不會影響新聞可信度，而且突發、犯罪新聞的新聞可信度也無差異；又採二因子變異數檢定發現，新聞可信度不會因為「社會新聞次類型」、「3D動畫有無」或其交互作用產生差異。此外，二因子變異數的檢驗發現，閱聽眾對於3D動畫的既有態度不會影響新聞可信度評估，最後，人口學變項也不會影響新聞可信度評估。 　　即便本研究初步證實社會新聞使用3D動畫有無，在新聞可信度上並無差異，但相較於沒有使用3D動畫的，有使用的反而獲得較高的平均數。 / At the end of 2009, Taiwan Next Media introduced Animated News, which induced considerable public criticism due to its use of 3D animation to portray social news containing acts of sexual assault and violence. Furthermore, the National Communications Commission (NCC) has clearly pointed out that the 3D animation used in TV news is not a real representation. In other words, both the public and government believe to a large degree that 3D animation used in TV news may harm journalistic professionalism. In view of the fact that the most important value of news media is "news credibility," the study employs experimental methods to determine the difference in the credibility of news in the eyes of research subjects consisting of ordinary viewers that results when social news adopts 3D animation. The total of 52 respondents were divided into four groups viewing news in the two subcategories of breaking news and crime news either with or without 3D animation. Inspection employing the t-test revealed that the presence of 3D animation does not affect the credibility of news, and no effect was observed in the case of either breaking news or crime news. Two-way ANOVA further discovered that the credibility of news does not vary due to "social news subcategory," "presence of 3D animation," or their interaction. In addition, two-way ANOVA also revealed that viewers' existing attitude toward 3D animation does not influence their assessment of the credibility of news. This study not only found that the use of 3D animation and social news does not affect the credibility of the news, but also discovered that compared with news not employing 3D animation, news using animation in fact received relatively high average credibility scores.

本研究以電視新聞社會線為研究場域，旨在探討電視社會女記者與電視社會新聞之陰性化現象之間的關連。本研究採取質性研究的多元途徑，以參與觀察法、深度訪談法、案例分析法，探討兩大研究問題：一、近年來，電視社會新聞內容有沒有陰性化的傾向？1.社會新聞記者怎麼看待陰性的社會新聞主題？2. 社會新聞記者怎麼看待陰性的新聞報導角度？3.社會新聞記者採取什麼樣的工作倫理？二、電視新聞工作場域文化與社會女記者的新聞產製1. 社會線的文字記者需要具備什麼特質？ 2. 社會線女記者的女性身份，是否影響：(1)社會線女記者線上關係之建立(2)社會線女記者在組織中的任務分配與評價(3)社會線女記者和受訪者的互動(4)社會線女記者社會新聞的角度？ 在電視社會新聞的陰性化方面，本研究發現，在電視社會新聞內容方面，由於以市場為主要考量，軟性議題儘管增加，其份量和重要性仍低於感官化取材，而女性議題仍居少數。在電視社會新聞的處理方式與記者敘事方式上，趨向實用、貼近觀眾感受的陰性報導角度增加，但社會新聞仍以陽性化的感官處理為主要走向。 在電視社會新聞工作場域文化方面，研究發現組織當中父系意識型態的主導，與商業邏輯的感官化操作思維相結合。在社會女記者的新聞產製方面，女記者發展出中性化的性格特質與女性化的性別特質，並接受父系觀點對她們的觀視或期待，這是一種對場域文化的投降策略。因此，女記者的社會新聞報導與男性記者沒有差別。 / This study takes the impact of TV female journalist on the feminization of TV social news as the main inquiry. Adopting the channel of qualitative research, this study takes the participant-observation method, in-depth interview method, and case study method to discuss two significant issues. I. Is TV socail news feminized in the past few years? 1. How do journalists of TV social news view feminine topic of news reporting? 2. How do journalists of TV social news view feminine angle of news reporting? 3. What kind of working ethics do journalists of TV social news hold? II. The field culture of TV news work & the news production of female journalists 1. What are the conditions required for female journalists? 2. Does sex factor have influence on TV social news female journalists in aspects below: (1) their relationship with steady news source (2) the assignments and evaluation they get (3) their interation with news source (4) their angle of news? As to the phenomenon of the feminization of TV social news, we have found that market is the major consideration of news production. Though the soft news issues have increased, the amount and value of this kind of issues are still far less then those of sensational issues. Meanwhile, women issues are few. Concerning the style and the way of reporting of TV social news, it has tended to practical value and has become closer to the feelings of audience, which is a feminized new style. However, sensationlism remain the main mode that journalists deal with social news. In the aspects of the field culture of TV news work, we have found that the paternal hegemony is the leading power in newsroom, and it has been integrated with the sensational ways of newsmaking oriented towards commercial pursuits. As to female journalists, they practice neutralized characters and female sexual characteristics, and accepted the paternal gazing and expection imposed on them, which is considered as a strategy of surrender to the field culture. Therefore, there is no distinct difference between the news reporting of male and female journalists.
