This research aims at understanding how TV news channel strategically treat their news source of internet-users (i.e. netuser news) and its plausible reasons. By mainly applying content analysis, the author tries to compare the prime time news broadcasting of a commercial news channel 'TVBS' and the public channel 'PTS' in three months from March 1st to May 31st 2012. Major research findings include: firstly, TVBS broadcasts more net-user news than PTS on both time length and story numbers. Secondly, nearly 60 % of TVBS' net-user news are based on anonymous sources. However, checking the details of the targeted news leads us to an interesting finding-the webpage design is one of the main factors that makes large percentage net-user news sources as anonymous. This shows that anonymous source is not necessary equal to reporters' laziness as common argument indicates. Finally, net-users' radicalized speech are more attractive to TV news production.
