本研究的目的擬對下列問題提出討論，並試圖尋求若干線索：
(一)新聞報導者對於新聞界在社會上所扮演角色的理解，是否會影響他報導新聞的方式？
(二)新聞報導者對新聞事件本身的態度，是不是會影響他報導新聞的方式？
(三)新聞報導者的性別，會不會影響他報導新聞的方式？
本研究選擇文化學院新聞系的學生為研究對象，依隨機抽樣方法自選修採訪寫作課程的學生中抽出三十六名作為受試者。首先以問卷調查法探求受試者對於新聞事業所扮演角色的理解層面。然後以評審法評定各受試者在各項內容特質上的分數表現。
資料分析過程，以百分率說明受試者撰寫新聞方式的分佈型態，以變異數分析和紐曼—柯爾氏多重比較法解釋預存立場取向和態度在各內容特質上的差異情形。並以卡方考驗性別和報導方式的獨立性。
研究發現：
(一)有高參與偏向的新聞報導者，傾向撰寫分析性或解釋性新聞，而不強調簡單事實報導。
(二)持中間立場的新聞報導者，傾向報導純新聞，面不會試圖分析或解釋新聞。
(三)新聞報導者對新聞事件的態度，會影響其新聞報導的方式和內容特質。
(四)新聞報導的方式與報導者性別無關聯。
