本論文以台灣1995年3月實施全民健康保險為分水嶺，1985-2010年的醫療環境為脈絡、同時間的《聯合報》為研究樣本，檢視醫生的實際勞動過程與勞動條件，相較新聞傳媒論述的落差。 因年代演進、健保前後的報紙再現確實不同，新聞與投書最大的迥異之處出現於財團化，醫病關係與醫療糾紛，醫療極限與去專業化，情緒勞動，因健保更為負面的醫德，及健保體制爭議等的分析類目上，呈現醫師的媒體形象隨時間遞嬗變動。無論是否包含個案，從報導數目來看，可以發現中期、後期醫病關係惡化，醫療糾紛增加，醫學知識去專業化與有限性；健保下的負面形象初實施便有、後期卻越形明顯，可謂與財團化同步。新聞數量、論述，與消費主義社會、醫療環境、政策之演變高度正相關。不過，媒體長期以來多忽略體制變革牽涉個體醫師的「勞動過程與勞動條件」問題，醫師團體凝聚的勞動意識則直至最近才逐漸被喚醒與展現在媒體上。 媒體在醫療議題中扮演的角色，確有出現變化，然，不是晚一步，就是極少報導。在歷時性或個案新聞中，台灣媒體對於醫師身體勞動、情緒勞動之變遷，商品化醫療服務與健康權利有所衝突，以及結構、資本主義之變因與影響，均再現與詮釋不甚全面。 / This thesis investigates how the United Daily News(UDN) represented the doctor’s labor process in Taiwan between 1985 and 2010, taking 1995 as the watershed when the National Health Insurance (NHI) was implemented, prior to and after which the working conditions of medical people have experienced substantial changes. As such, the UDN did register differences in its treatment of related events accordingly. The current study has focused upon issues related to conglomeration, doctor-patient relationship and medical malpractice, limits of medicine and deprofessionalization, emotional labor, negative medical ethics, as well as health care system debates etc.. Images and discourses of doctors in the media have changed across two period of time. It becomes clear that since 1995 the doctor-patient relationship has been getting worse, while medical negligence increased and deprofessionalization of medicine multiplied. In addition, with the introduction of NHI, there were more medical ethics violation and capitalists have made more gains with medicalconglomeration. Another factor contributing to the increase of medical news is the arrival of a consumerist society, and simultaneous changes of medical environment and policy. Although there is such a transformation of Taiwan’s health system, the media has however failed to represent adequately the doctor’s changing labor process and conditions. The UDN has not covered such topic until very recently in the wake of several protests arising out of worsening medical environment. In conclusion, Taiwan’s media has paid insufficient attentions to various significant issues, doctors’ physical labor and their emotional labor, commodified medical services and its conflicts with universal rights of health are among the most eye-catching.

The thesis aims to describe how was the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, which began in June 2019 in response to the proposed extradition law, perceived. In its theoretical part, the thesis will focus on a detailed description of the historical development of Hong Kong and the formation of an independent Hong Kong identity. Major events will be presented, from the times of colonial administration to the description of pro-democracy protests in 2019, which affected the current state of Hong Kong. Subsequently the theoretical framework of the processes of hegemony and visual representation will be introduced, which will be further presented in the context of Hong Kong. Last but not least, the topic of journalistic photography and its significance in the current journalistic field will be defined. The practical part of the thesis will offer an analysis of how the direct participants perceived the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, and whether their perceptions of events correspond not only with each other but also with the journalistic visual material that mapped four months of protests. A photo essay from the author's set of photographs was created to be also analysed in this work, part of which was subjected to a socio-semiotic analysis. Last but not least, there will be a comparison of results...
