The rapid development of the Internet has dramatically changed media markets
in the Republic of China. Print media have gone online, with several newspapers
bringing not just the daily printed news but also breaking news, while magazines
try to lure readers with free access to selected articles in each issue. Book
publishers and bookstores have established online bookstores to reduce overhead
and offer round-the-clock service. Radio and television stations are also reaching
out to the growing population of Netsurfers with streaming audio and video broadcasts
of news and music programs, as well as drama series. This chapter discusses
the most significant changes in the ROC media industry in recent years, including
the proliferation of print media, the segmentation of the radio broadcast audience,
competition between cable and over-the-air TV, and the liberalization of the
telecommunications sector.
