摘要

本文著重於探討，在新科技—網際網路（以下簡稱網路）出現之後，網路的特性如何改變新聞記者與消息來源的互動，同時，也探討記者在面對新的資訊管道，將如何處理以及運用消息來源。

研究結果發現，記者與BBS消息來源互動的目的，主要是需要尋找與學生相關的話題（訊息）、或者是找學生接受採訪（人）。本文亦發現，記者與BBS消息來源的互動模式，與文獻有異、也有同。同時，隨著情境的改變，記者與BBS消息來源的互動模式亦將跟著流動。

而基於網路匿名性以及守門程度低的特性，記者在處理BBS消息來源時，記者會判斷其真實性、而後判斷新聞之可發展性、查證困難度。同時，所謂自我保護，亦即記者也懂得趨吉避凶。由於BBS消息查證較為困難，一旦寫作錯誤容易遭受到網友撻伐，除非該則消息新聞價值夠高，否則記者傾向於選擇新鮮、具人情趣味同時爭議性低的訊息。

This research is mainly discussing about how the features of Internet influence the interactions between journalists and news sources. It’s also to discover how reporters deal with new types of news sources. Due to various online news sources, this research only focuses on sources from BBS.

According to the findings, journalists use BBS news resources in order to search for people, usually students, or topics related to campus affairs. Meanwhile, though the findings match the model of interactions from literature, there are still minor differences. As the context changes, the model keeps shifting as well.

Because of the anonymity and low level of gate keeping on the net, when dealing with BBS news sources, journalists tend to judge whether the message is genuine or not and the possibility of investigation first. At the same time, reporters would try to avoid possible troubles so as to protect themselves if the message is difficult to investigate.

It’s harder to confirm the news sources from BBS, and the journalists might be attacked by the BBS users if there’s any false expression or information in the news. Therefore, unless the news value is extremely high, reporters are likely to use sources which are interesting and less controversial.
