電視新聞訪談是政治候選人的重要舞台，也常成為報紙報導的對象。本研究關心報紙新聞如何自電視新聞專訪中取材，故分析國內四大報報導台灣2010年五都市長候選人電視新聞專訪之選材偏向。本研究發現，在主題內容上，新聞選材最重「未來政治動向」，其次為「賽馬式報導」，且選擇較多「攻擊式語藝」；在訪談形式上，新聞聚焦於受訪者的言談內容及行動，較不重視訪問者提問，更忽略訪問者的中介角色，間接強化新聞訪問者不涉入的中立形象。

Televised news interviews are important for political candidates and frequently reported in newspapers. This study explores how newspapers select material from televised political interviews for their reports. After analyzing the press coverage of Taiwan's 2010 municipal mayoral candidates' TV interviews by the four main newspapers in Taiwan, we found that the reports emphasized "the candidates' future political plans" and "election prospects," and noticed more of their "attack rhetoric" during the televised interviews. News reports pay greater attention to the interviewees' utterances and less to the interviewers' questions and mediatory role, increasing the news interviewer's neutrality.
