But there are also shortcomings to this type of compilation. The treatment of many controversial incidents tends to be one-sided, either because it is written from a single person's perspective, or because there is no effort to achieve any sort of journalistic balance. Gay film director Mickey Chen's experience is a good case in point.
然而這樣的編著方式仍不免力有未逮，許多仍具爭議的事件，因單人書寫或缺乏新聞報導式的平衡效果，產生「一面倒」的情形。
