Unbalanced distribution of authority means that not every place receives the same degree of media exposure. An announcement by the head of just about any government agency at all in Taipei will receive prominent coverage. "When they lowered fares on Taipei city buses, the story was placed on the national news page. Now there's a sign that something is seriously out of whack," says Wang.
也因為權力失衡，台灣各地曝光度就不同，進而造成台北哪個首長發言，媒體就大幅報導，「連台北市公車費調降也放到重要的全國版，實在值得檢討」，王美玉同時指出。
