Based on sociologist Zygmunt Bauman's theory of liquid modernity, this article describes, via narrative inquiries, how the new generation of reporters in Taiwan considers their journalist work and their role in today's media industry. For many years, Bauman has proposed that society has already transformed from the condition of solid, heavy modernity to a liquid, light one, bringing in drastic changes of the relationship between time and space, capitalists and labor. Furthermore he claims that society has moved away from being producer-oriented, and towards emphasizing the consumer, while there has also been a change in ethos from ”knowledge is power” to ”speed is power.” In terms of Bauman's theory, this article found that the nature of the journalism profession in Taiwan has changed as society has transformed the condition of liquid modernity, altering broadly how the new generation of reporters treats the value of their work and their role as journalist.
