| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 大眾傳播研究所 === 104 === This essay explores the transforming image of the journalist when covering demonstrations, which are compatibly constructed by protesters, other journalists (both citizen and professional) and police. In order to properly make my arguments, I choose the 2015 case titled the “Anti-Black Box Curriculum Movement”, with special focus on July 23, the day when senior high school students occupied the Ministry of Education.
I borrow relevant concepts from both Pierre Bourdieu and Erving Goffmann to be the grounds of my analysis. My insider’s first-hand observation as an ‘arrested’ journalist and in-depth interviews of protesters, journalists and police are applied as research materials in my discussion.
This essay concludes with a question mark as to the core value within the idea of citizen journalists – that ‘everyone is a journalist’. On the basis of distinct social classes, various purposes of being there and divergent interpretations of the event itself, the notion of what exactly makes a citizen journalist, therefore, is always transforming.
