鑑於運動與傳播之不可分割性日益增加,但國內相關研究領域之開發仍屈指可數。故嘗試於此領域探索,盼略盡棉薄之意以貢獻後續研究。本研究之主要目的,在於了解台灣地區不同性質的電視新聞媒體,如何報導亞洲運動會的相關新聞;研究對象涵蓋國內的無線及有線電視台;研究內容則包括內容面的內容分析、收視率變化,最後並輔以深度訪談,以了解其內容偏向之主因。研究後發現如下:一、內容面上,電視體育新聞往往被安插於各節新聞之末,須與政治、財經、社會…等新聞抗爭,才得有發聲空間,故報導量微乎其微,一些弱勢少數運動更是不見天日。二、產製面上,與各類型新聞一樣,體育新聞之採編仍會受限於消息來源、空間與時間因素的不可抗力之干擾。如果再加上轉播權與衛星科技設備的落差,很容易會讓各頻道的體育新聞呈現出現差異。三、體育新聞價值之判斷,不外乎從「可看性」、「非預期性」與「政策性」三方面加以考量;編採政策則主要受到「市場趨力」與「本位主義」所主導。
