英文摘要 |
This paper discusses the development and challenges of Taiwan Shin Sheng Daily News (TSSDNEWS, the official newspaper of the Taiwan Provincial Government) from 1945 to 1972. In this period, TSSDNEWS was gradually manipulated by the mainlanders. After the February 28 Incident, the mainlanders came to occupy the key positions in TSSDNEWS. However, TSSDNEWS continued to lose market share. TSSDNEWS lost its superiority because of the press ban, the competition from the Central Daily News (the official newspaper of KMT) and the loss of its monopolistic access to the advertising budget of the Taiwan Provincial Government. Hsieh Ran Zhi, the main operator of TSSDNEWS, lost the support of the Taiwan Provincial Government after Chen Cheng was dismissed as Governor of Taiwan Province. This situation made it more difficult for Hsieh to promote reform. TSSDNEWS followed the business strategy of private newspapers in an attempt to increase its revenue in the 1960s. For Hsieh, journalism educator and promotor of KMT press policy, this was a path full of contradiction and compromise. |
