Reporters are always the targets with which the candidates attempt to control and manipulate. This study explores the relationships between journalists' personal attributes and the responding strategies under multiple pressures, during the 2004 legislator election. A total of 113 journalists who have interviewed and reported the election news were surveyed. The results show that multiple pressures were attempting to control and influence reporters' behaviors during the campaign. Facing these pressures, almost all reporters, while personal attributes cannot contribute to the explanation of variance, took the compromising strategies. It is obvious that election news and journalists were both polluted and twisted by the pressures, original from candidates.
