隨著科技持續變遷,新聞媒體在數位轉型後,逐漸演變出不同的樣貌,並努力開拓更多元化的收入來源。而在眾多擴大市場增加營收的策略中,「賣商品」逐漸成了媒體在數位時代的新模式,亦即擁有電商平台,將讀者轉換為消費者。新聞媒體並以「內容型電商」創造差異切入市場,以內容而非價格來促進銷售轉換,延伸媒體的內容價值,藉此深化與讀者的連結。 有鑑於此,本論文即採用深度訪談法,深入了解《聯合報系》、《天下集團》與《關鍵評論網》三家媒體的內容電商發展初衷與策略,並探究電商業務與新聞媒體間之關聯。 本論文透過訪談歸納結果如下:一、新聞媒體以「商品銷售導向」和「會員經營導向」兩種取向來發展電商。二、媒體整合集團資源,在經營上發揮綜效。三、媒體藉電商活化會員資料,加深與讀者的關係。四、內容驅動消費在國內難實現,故媒體藉新聞單位資源挹注,協助電商發展內容。 由研究結果可知,媒體正嘗試藉電商延續內容價值,和客戶關係經營;同時也透過各式媒體資源強化電商營運,兩者相輔相成,創造數位轉型下新的商業可能。
With the continuous changes in technology, the news media have gradually evolved a variety of different appearances through digital transformation, in order to broaden more diversified income. Among all the strategies to expand the market and increase revenue, "selling product" has gradually become a new way in the digital age, that is, having an e-commerce platform to convert readers into consumers. News media enter the market with "content-based e-commerce" to create differences, which means that content is used to trigger sales conversion instead of price. It helps extend the value of media content and thereby deepen the connection with readers. In view of this, this paper intends to use the in-depth interview method on the discussion, aiming to understand the original intentions and strategies of the content e-commerce development of the three media: "United Daily News", "CommonWealth Magazine Group" and "TNL Media Group". The relationship between content e-commerce business and news media is also a main discussion aspect in this paper. This paper summarizes the results through interviews as follows: 1. News media develops e-commerce with two orientations: "product sales orientation" and "membership management orientation". 2. News media integrates the resources in order to build synergy in this business. 3. News media activates member information and deepen the relationship with readers through e-commerce platform. 4. Content-driven consumption is difficult to achieve in Taiwan. Therefore, news media use the resources of news organizations to help develop e-commerce content. These research results shown that news media are trying to use e-commerce to extend the value of content, and to maintain customer relationships. At the same time, it is also strengthening e-commerce operations through various media resources. News business and e-commerce complement each other to create new possibilities for the media group under digital transformation.
