本研究旨在探討常規主導下的新聞工作平淡樣貌，因為在實務層次，常規會影響新聞專業之落實及新聞工作者超越自我的可能。透過對問題的反思、文獻閱讀與經驗資料分析的不斷循環辯證，我們發現，常規的形成涉及個人與組織間的不斷相互校準過程，可幫助工作者從陌生混亂中找到秩序。只是愈趨穩定的常規卻為新聞工作隨後帶來長期平淡的常規樣貌，而這種常規樣貌具有兩層構面：首先，在平淡之中，新聞工作者往往只會重覆常規做事，然後停滯於既有能力沒有改變意願；其次，平淡亦可能反映了新聞工作者的工作熱情消失，缺乏追求專業與自我超越的意願，新聞專業轉變成只是「工作」而已。本研究最後從實務工作與學術研究兩個層次，提出新聞工作者如何在常規生活中發現與展現熱情的建議。

This study aims to explore the impact of the routinization of journalists' daily work, as such routinization has been found to restrain journalists' professional performance and hinder journalists from self improvement. The study shows that the formation of journalistic routinization is a complex process. It involves fine-tuning between individual journalists and their organizations. Routinization helps professionals establish an order out of chaos, but at the same time it brings in monotony and boredom of daily work. Two dimensions can be summarized from our analysis of journalistic routinization. First, journalists tend to repeat their routines and appear stagnant regarding their professional competence. Secondly, routinization may reflect journalists' loss of passion over their careers, resulting in low motivation for professional self-improvement. The study ends with suggestions on how journalists can rekindle their career passion from the perspectives of practical work and academic research.
