| Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 傳播管理學研究所 === 95 === The study analyzes the impact of digital technology to the traditional news production and the problematic concept of realism. With case studies of five faked reports--two of them are faked news resources from the internet, and three of them are digitally fabricated photographs, the study seeks to address the following two questions: What characterizes “faked reports” in the age of digitalized news production? And when examining these five cases according to the standard of objectivity, impartiality, and realism in traditional journalism, what are the loopholes that these five cases manifest in terms of the production logic? The study argues that digital technologies, such as the internet and digital photography, contribute to news production not only with the multiplication of faked news, but also with the problematic gate-keeping process from within or without the news institution. Digital technology challenges the authority of news institution with technologically manipulated reality, which also renders problematic the much hyped value of news professionalism
