1950 年代，以《中央日報》為中心的黨、公營報紙何以能獨霸臺 灣報業市場？過去的研究往往從新聞管制史角度著手：著重於論述政 府當局如何透過制定層層的新聞管制政策，掌控新聞媒體，壓抑民營 各報的發展空間；其論述主軸往往是新聞管制法規、管制政策，以及 民營報業受壓抑的窘境；甚而許多新聞管制史的研究，將該研究做為 對臺灣人權發展研究的呼應。然而，在解決黨、公營報紙如何於1950 年代稱霸臺灣報業市場的問題上，如此的研究趨向會讓黨、公報紙的 發展淪為論述的配角，而導致其發展軌跡模糊不清。本文為避免模糊 焦點，讓研究再度淪為以新聞管制、臺灣人權發展為主軸的研究，本 文將在新聞管制的研究基礎上，針對新聞管制政策的各項法規，分項 說明《中央日報》在同受新聞管制政策約束的情況下，如何獲得黨、 政扶掖，成為1950 年代臺灣第一大報。
