From a resource-based view, this study assumes that the resource allocation of Taiwan's mainstream media science news affects science news production and their competitive advantages. By conducting in-depth interviews and surveys of 16 mainstream media outlets, this study found that, of the outlets that reported science news, the majority of this news was related to natural disasters and health, the downstream levels of science activities, and topics relevant to society. Most of the media outlets interviewed did not allocate resources to science news. Only those who built sufficient facilities for science news, produced this kind of news on a regular basis, collaborated with professional science institutions, and whose top managers had science reporting experience exerted competitive advantages in science news.
