「瞬間鉅量」是極短時間內資訊流量驟增的現象，新聞組織則是當代對於「瞬間鉅

量」最為敏感的社會機構，經常必須解決資訊流量瓶頸。本研究借用當代配置智能觀點，

探討新聞工作者如何解決「瞬間鉅量」問題。研究人員從報社美編的個案中發現，組織

藉以對抗「瞬間鉅量」的籌碼，來自於報社美編和物質資源、以及當下情境的協力過程。

研究發現對於未來傳播教育、課程設計，提供思考的起點。

Burst in information flow is one of the significant features in the daily process of media

production. To further complicate the matter, Information flow in news production is more likely to

concentrate in a certain period of time which may exceed the normal capacity of an organization,

usually comes in large quantity during a very short period of time (Beniger, 1986). This article,

drawing upon research on distributed cognition, aims to examine how media organizations develop

mechanisms to solve the problem of excessive workload. For the purpose illustrated above, the

author collected data by ethnographical methods in design desks in daily newspaper sites.

Video-tapping and depth interviews were employed in the studies.
