摘要

近年台灣報業經營困難，老字號中國時報易主給旺旺集團，更是為台灣報業帶來前所未有的震撼，面對裁員減薪甚至倒閉，部分報業新聞從業人員面臨生存壓力，紛紛選擇離開新聞工作崗位，尋求其他出路。
本篇深度報導從報業財經記者生涯規劃的角度，藉由訪談已經轉職和想離職轉職的財經記者，釐清為何這群記者想要轉業，怎麼評估面對轉業，在未來可能轉業考量下；又，這群財經記者相較於把新聞記者視為志業的傳統新聞工作者，會有哪些不同的思維，是否影響新聞操作或價值判斷。
報導發現，記者對於未來感到焦慮，勝過薪資減少的壓力；部分記者選擇財經線，是期望未來方便轉業；或期望藉由新聞工作訓練其他領域專業，不打算在新聞工作久留；生存壓力更成為部分財經記者不迴避新聞工作利益衝突，或新聞品質不佳的藉口。
本篇報導試著了解在大環境衝擊下，記者如何用個人的思維，去詮釋面對新聞工作的價值。
