本研究以兩大指標來評鑑我國影劇新聞的品質，一為內容多元化，一為採訪自主性。內容多元包含事件主題，消息來源，產業類別的多元。採訪自主性是指記者的採訪過程是否能發揮專業能力，不受限人情壓力與公關的影響。從訪問記者與內容分析法得知，影劇新聞的內容與報導過程都有待加強。研究發現影劇新聞有兩大特色，影劇事業過份介入新聞的產製過程，積極與媒體建立關係，發通稿，爭取與報社合辦活動，所以影劇新聞公關氣息濃厚，記者的自主性被削弱。二為影劇新聞以商業市場為導向，大量運用圖片。在內容方面，九成的新聞是在報導影視歌產業，忽略廣播廣告與出版等相關產業，且比明星為主，其他如幕後人員與產業行政人員很少出現在報上。此外，影劇新聞者重點擺在藝人個人行徑上。如拍戲花絮與戀情進展等，這些新聞都是藝人生活的片段，且很多報導表面上是在談藝人的工作甘苦，實際上是在宣傳影劇工業的產品，如唱片與電影。本研究建議影劇新聞應充分反映影藝事業的現況，在產業與主題及報導的人物上做到多元。二是加強產業面的新聞，有關影劇圈的法規政策與組織運作上應加強廣度與深度。另外，有關明星的報導應更多面化，擴及休閒活動或家庭生活等層次。
