本文針對電子新聞的特殊性，嘗試超越客觀原則，爲資訊品 質概念另覓思考方向。首先討論廣電新聞影響下爭議漸增的新聞 客觀概念，繼而借重對口語與書寫文化別有創見，對電子文化亦 提出針泛的古誇文化學者Eric Havelock和修辭學者Walter Ong， 爲新聞客觀概念背後預設的知識合法正當性尋根溯源。最後點出 一種有別於客觀知識的社群之知，藉此指明：電子新聞若能促進 美好社會的想像，常不是因爲講究二元對立的客觀原則，而是因 爲重視關係營造的口語詩知。

This paper addresses the haunting issue of information quality for time-based electronic news. Inevitably characterized by a sense of immediacy, electronic news has its particularity more as a form of social participation than as a genre for detached observation. Tracing how the canon of journalistic objectivity has gradually become a controversy under the influence of this electronic particularity, the author appeals for the need to reconsider in a new light. Drawing on Eric Havelock and Walter Ong, two types of knowledge are specified: one oral, concrete, participatory, if dramatic and narrative; the other literate, abstract, objectified, if apparently disinterested. The communal sensibility unique of the “electronic orality” is further explored in its connection to “poetic wisdom,” based on which the study concludes with an alternative suggestion.
