部落格與競選傳播:以2008年台灣總統大選候選人為例

Blogs and Campaign Communication in the 2008 Presidential Election in Taiwan

摘要


部落格(blog)成為競選工具之一,近年備受矚目。台灣2008年總統選舉中,兩位主要候選人競選團隊也使用部落格作為候選人網路日記,時時更新資訊,並把部落格作為另類政治傳播管道,作為動員參與工具。本研究即以2008年台灣總統大選兩位候選人的部落格為分析對象,並佐以對候選人競選團隊決策者的深度訪談,探討候選人如何利用部落格進行選戰攻防,分析部落格是否成為公民參與的新形式,及在這次總統選舉中發揮哪些功能。研究發現,兩位候選人競選團隊利用部落格打了一場和過往不一樣的選戰。候選人團隊不但可以主動設定議題,發佈新聞,進行選戰議題攻防;還在選舉期間隨選戰變化,透過部落格主文和部落客的聯結,產生更多元的策略。本研究發現,這次選舉中,部落格確實扮演多重角色,更能彈性運用選戰策略,有別於傳統媒體。部落格在提出議題供網路選民討論和互動參與上,發揮初步功能。但是因為雙方關心的議題不盡相同,並因部落客的主動參與,出現另設議題的現象,形成另類公共議題論壇。本研究認為,部落格這次已發揮互動參與特色,雖然網路選民參與數量不及傳統大眾媒體,但仍然成為網路選民直接接觸候選人並與之展開直接對話,導致積極政治參與的重要管道。
