However, reforms and personnel changes at publicly owned media since 2008 have raised concerns about politicization. A former spokesperson for President Ma Ying-jeou’s electoral campaign was appointed as deputy president of the Central News Agency （CNA）in late 2008, and CNA staff reported receiving directives to alter certain content. Local and international observers noted that criticism of the government in subsequent CNA coverage was markedly toned down.

不過，2008年以來，公營媒體的改革與人事變化引起政治介入的關切，馬英九競選總統時的一名前發言人，2008年底獲任命為中央通訊社的副社長，中央社成員曾表示接獲指示修改特定報導內容。台灣與國際觀察家指出，後來中央社批評政府的報導就顯著減少。
