本研究深度访谈四家台湾主流报纸《中国时报》《自由时报》《联合报》与《苹果日报》的8位新闻从业者，与2位从事新闻研究的学者观察、分析即时新闻发展与影响。研究发现：各报均成立“即时新闻中心”，冲刺即时新闻流量；在即时新闻优先下，新闻记者的工作型态与劳动内容，形成“新闻劳动的密度与强度大增，24小时待命”， “废文充斥，新闻内容农场化”，“追求点阅率，朝向赛马式新闻发展”；其次，新闻记者在配合报社政策，竞逐于追求即时新闻之际，即时新闻的量变造成质变的新闻专业杀手，导致：“独家新闻与即时新闻定义被翻转”，“深度新闻报道被无意义的短讯取代”，“新闻记者兼营销，自主性尽失”。

This study is meant to explore the real-time news development and its in?uence on four Taiwanese mainstream newspapers, China Times, Liberty Times, United Daily News, and Apple Daily. The study employed the in-depth interviews as study method and interviewed eight journalists and two scholars. The results show: Four newspapers have set up the "Real-time news center" and dedicated in pursuing the immediate news ?ows. The emphasis on real-time news production has changed the working routines and the labor content of the journalists. Due to the 24 hours running real-time news, the labor density and strength are greatly increased. But as the outcomes, there are full of news farm contents and meaningless horse-racing news. Secondly, the news professionalism is sacrificed. The "exclusive news" and "real-time news" have been misinterpreted under the development of real-time news. The investigation reports are substituted by many short messages. Moreover, the journalists are forced to give up the professional autonomy and market themselves.
