新媒體對台灣選舉結果的影響研究： 以2022年桃園市長選舉為例

Abstract

本文以台灣選舉政治為主題，旨在研究新媒體政治傳播對台灣選舉政治的影響，並以2022年桃園市長選舉為研究個案，解析新媒體對政治參與和選舉結果的影響力。本文採取文獻分析、個案研究以及比較分析等研究方法，在過去學術研究成果的基礎上，深入探討2022年桃園市長選舉中各陣營候選人運用新媒體競選情形。透過實證研究發現，新媒體政治傳播已成為當前台灣選舉政治的重要工具，政黨與候選人除了傳統組織「陸戰」外，更投入大量經費與資源進行「空戰」，特別是經營社群媒體來增加曝光度、宣傳競選政見、包裝個人形象，希望藉此提高選民的支持度。由此可見，臺灣的新媒體正在加速改變台灣選民政治態度以及對政治參與的模式，新媒體的崛起雖然沒有完全取代傳統選舉方式，但因為具有更快速的擴散效果，反而讓傳統的組織戰得到更全面的發揮。本文用2022 年桃園市長選舉的結果進行分析比對，發現新媒體的傳播效果在選舉後期發揮了關鍵作用，讓市長選情有所翻轉。
