本文旨在檢視過去五十多年來台灣的新聞史研究。它指出，在歷史的辯證過程中，不同時期的政治變遷下，台灣白色新聞史研究可能有所轉變。在長期的威權統治下，新聞史研究以特定的觀點來編寫，排除不同的解釋，造成某種「社會失憶症」(social amnesia)。到了1970 年代末期，當反對勢力興起，對立的觀點逐漸浮現。近來，在政治自由化的潮流下，社會上不同的團體開始重拾記憶，重建歷史，也帶來研究上的契機。展望未來，本文建議，研究者應以本土的傳播文化為主體，分析在歷史的過程中各種脈絡的文化如何在此交織並交融出特殊的傳播文化，以鬧鬧這個學門的歷史視野。

This paper engages to examine the study of j ournalism history in Taiwan. It is based on the analytical framework that, in the dialectic historical process, at different phases of political transition, the historical study in Taiwan has undergone changes. Under the long authoritarian rule, historical writings provided particular interpretations, excluded others, and resulted in social amnesia. It was not until the late 1970s, when the opposition rose' that alternative views emerged from below. With the current political liberalization, different groups are recollecting their memories,which forecast the awning of a new journalism history.In prospect, this paper suggests that future researchers should explore how different cultures have come and converged into a unique one, in order to broaden the historical horizon of this field.
