In the last days of April, all Taiwan's news media gave blanket coverage to the case. In leading articles, special commentaries and public discussion forums, analysis and insights were offered. An editorial in the China Times on 30 April was very representative in the directions it proposed for self-examination and improvement: Firstly, we should "rebuild our system of values, rebuild the humanity of people in Taiwan."
四月底，全台灣的新聞媒體皆以最大篇幅報導白案，社論、專論、民意論壇也紛紛提出剖析與省思，中國時報四月三十日的社論頗具代表性地提出數點覺醒方向：首先，「重建價值體系，重建台灣的人心」。
