Since the lift of ban on Taiwanese newspapers in 1988, evidence has been accumulating that journalism is undergoing a critical transformation-a move away from reliance on professional norms defining what in newsworthy and how to report, toward a journalism based observing the marketplace. A market-based model of news production argues that primary news decision-about how to learn what is going onfrom the outside environment-are quite complex.
The current research uses market-based model of news production to analyze some structure adjustments and newsroom management policies changing in response to the changing relationship between the economic order of market and newspaper industry. This study also indicates that journalistic values, media cultures as well as economic conditions are responsible for the degree of ’commercialization ’ of major newspapers in Taiwan.
