本研究藉由分析臺灣主流報紙關於「土地徵收」的報導，探討新聞媒體在土地徵收事件報導的轉變。在這個研究主旨下，本研究提出以下問題：台灣主流報紙在土地徵收事件的報導趨勢為何？以大埔事件為界，主流報紙報導土地徵收事件時有什麼轉變？大埔事件如何影響報紙媒體的報導？本研究採用語料庫為研究取徑，以2008至2015年間台灣四大報紙（聯合報、自由時報、中國時報、蘋果日報）的土地徵收報導進行批判分析討論。研究結果顯示，大埔事件確實影響土地徵收報導方式，自大埔事件發生後，土地徵收報導的引述對象和論述框架更趨多元。最後，本研究亦發現報社在討論土地徵收合法性時，會隱含其政黨價值立場。

This study examines the ways in which the DaPu incident has affected on mainstream coverages towards eminent domain in Taiwan. We first analyses trend of mainstream newspaper coverage towards eminent domain; then we compare these coverages before and after the Dapu incident; finally, we attempt to explain the changes of news coverage in relation to the Dapu incident, a powerful social movement. Combining corpus-based approach and critical discourse analysis, we investigate the ways in which Taiwan’s four mainstream newspapers report (United Daily News, Liberty Times, China Times, and Apple Daily) eminent domain, from 2008 to 2015. The results show that there are significant changes of mainstream news coverage of eminent domain since the Dapu incident has become a social movement. After the Dapu incident, there are more diverse sources of information, broader range of topic about eminent domain, and different types of framing eminent domain. We argue that the Dapu incident ‘makes’ news; the news media has developing different types of frames towards eminent domain as this public issues evolves. The media is able to provide different interpretations, particularly through different perspectives of land justice and the legitimacy of compulsory acquisition.
