Taiwan's Televised Reports on Teenage Crimes Can Distort Both Viewer's Perception and Mind 
    In the essay, the author, Dr. 蘇蘅, explores how Taiwan's televised news on teenage crimes and the effects of their ways to represent teenage crimes. With statistics from different television news stations, he finds out two primary factors that bring about the way of their reports on teenage crimes. First factor is the intense competition among Taiwan's televised news. Due to the competitive market, the televised news mostly adopts the serious teenage crime with the live-action and dramatic effect to appeal more viewers. Secondly, the televised news characterizes the sound and the image and has the limit of the reporting time, so  the news values the immediate and striking impression on the spot and tends to represent the partial events to the audience. Consisting in the two factors, the televised news usually reports the teenage crimes like violent harm or murder and  uses the stirring but superficial expressions in the reports. In this way, the broadcast news will possibly distort the perception of the audience.
    Apart from making the prejudiced perception of the audience, the televised news may also inflict the audience's imitation of the crimes. Without the deep examination and the reports on the process of the trial of the crime, the news on the teenage crimes can just bring somewhat entertaining effect to the audience. The viewers are possibly  distorted not only their perceptions but also their mind by the televised news on teenage crimes. With the mind incited by the violence in the report, their behavior can be influenced. That is, when the teenage who cannot properly judge the news see the report, they may think it exciting and funny and imitate it in school, and their doings becomes school bullying consequently. It is common that we are able to watch lots of cases on our televised news reporting teenage crimes.Thus, the discourse o this essay can be an interpretation of the televised violence news' effect on the potential school bullying in Taiwan.
