摘要

媒體在民主社會中有兩個重要角色，一是作為監督權力機制的第四權；另一個角色則是要成為促成公討論。2016年中華民國總統選舉，由民進黨的蔡英文當選總統，實現三次和平的政黨輪替，在台灣第三次政黨輪替歷程，如何看待對待媒體，民主化進程更臻進步，進而真正落實民主原理，建構成熟公民政治文化，是台灣當前嚴正需要面對的課題，本文從媒體角色中的功能扮演，來測定台灣媒體對政治民主化的影響，利用文獻分析、焦點團體法，針對重大事件媒體報導進行分析，發現媒體演進民主化鞏固非正比，且政黨輪替對媒體影響漸式微，但資訊爆炸也使媒體角色益顯重要。

The media has two important roles in a democratic society. One is to serve as the fourth power to supervise the power mechanism; the other is to facilitate public discussion. In the 2016 presidential election of the Republic of China, Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party was elected president, achieving three peaceful political party rotations, and the third political party rotation process in Taiwan. How to treat the media, the democratization process has further progressed, and then truly implemented. The principle of democracy and the establishment of a mature civic and political culture are issues that Taiwan needs to face seriously. This article examines the influence of Taiwan's media on political democratization from the role of the media, and uses literature analysis and focus groups to target major events. Analysis of media reports reveals that the evolution of the media is not proportional to the consolidation of democratization, and the influence of political party rotation on the media has gradually diminished, but the information explosion has also made the role of the media increasingly important.
