Individual Project of Second Progress

In the second procedure of the discussion, we set out ten questions to realize how mass media affect them. At first, we want to know their background, therefore, the first question is divided into three questions, and each one of them is “What province of Mainland China do you come from?” “What university in Mainland China do you study in?” and “What is your major?” Different regions and majors will also have influence on one’s though. These questions will help us to analyze how the background is bond to the way of choosing mass media.

And the second question is “What local TV channel do you mostly watch?” Because in Taiwan, each channel take different view points to report the same news, even though there is no freedom of information in China, we presume local channels and central channels could report with different point of views.

The following questions are about what is the most interested in Taiwan’s programs, channels and so on, or how the press of China forms your impression of Taiwan. As a result of, our theme of research is “How mass media manipulate the impression of Taiwan?” It is one of our concerns which how TV channels of China describe the issue of Taiwan. If the mass media of China gives them a stereotype of Taiwan, after they come to Taiwan, experiencing the Taiwan, and also watch the Taiwan news or the program of Taiwan. Do they change the impression of Taiwan? Or it could be worse after you come to Taiwan. At the same time, we want to understand how you feel about the mass media in Taiwan and the description of China. No matter what mass media in China or in Taiwan, these all will affect what the impression of Taiwan.

Deleting and revising our original question survey, we take what teacher said in class. The good survey does not exist yes-no question, if the interviewee answers no, we could continue to next step. Therefore, we revise some yes-no questions of our questions so as to make the questionnaire easy to answer.
