駐中國外籍記者的SARS報導受到風險報導學者抨擊，認為駐中國外籍記者一面倒批評中國政府，因此本研究以駐中國外籍記者和台灣媒體的報導內容及採訪面對的不同環境，加以比較分析，發現兩者皆呈現風險報導中，意見為主，缺乏數據的特性；台灣媒體與國際媒體面對的不同政治社會環境，對報導內容有強烈的影響。台灣SARS報導的內容反映多元社會的特性，民眾資訊來源充足，媒體以收 視率為優先考量，民眾對媒體報導內容不信任度高。而駐中國外籍記者的SARS報導內容以更新疫情和批評政府為主，比例上來說，對政府的批判明顯多於台灣媒體，反映記者受到中國單一的社會型態和記者本身條件限制的影響。相對於一言堂的中國社會，沒有本地媒體扮演第四權的監督角色，駐中國外籍記者成為對中國政府的批判者，因此駐中國外籍記者的SARS報導中明顯出現以意見為主的批判內容。再者，發自中國的報導為國際社會提供觀察中國疫情的窗口，駐中國外籍記者肩負了對中國政府監督的角色。

The SARS coverage from foreign correspondents based in China reflects many aspects discussed by risk reporting or risk communication experts, namely opinion-oriented and lack of scientific statistics. This current research aims to compare reports dispatched by foreign correspondents based in China and reports from Taiwanese local media, in a hope to see how different social and political environments affect their SARS coverage. In contrast to Taiwan ’s open and dynamic society, China in a way reflects a closed society without media playing the role to supervise the government and its administration. Therefore, foreign correspondents ’ coverage mainly criticize the government, playing the role to supervise the government, and as a window for the international communities to understand China.
