“We Just Write What We Think Is Newsy”: an Analysis on Newsworthiness Constructions in Malaysian Newspapers
“We just write what we think is newsy”: An Analysis on Newsworthiness Constructions in Malaysian Newspapers SITI SURIANI OTHMAN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Nottingham Trent University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September 2012 i This work is the intellectual property of the author (Note: if there are other owners of the IP, as a consequence of any statement issued under paragraph 12 of Section 14A, they must also be named here).

These approaches, which have been called object-driven and subject- driven news values, have contributed a lot in the quest for understanding news. Previous empirical studies on news have demonstrated that concepts used as abstractions of social practices, such as newsworthiness construction, suffer either from object-driven news values explanation about newsworthiness that seeks to locate news value in the news events themselves, or from subject-driven news values which see news making as being exclusively concerned with hidden motives that are often unbeknown even to the practitioners themselves. The practitioners are, therefore, forced to explain newsworthiness by invoking contexts that are already known; for example, in terms of editorial decisions based on political, cultural and/or organisational identities which are ‘external’ to immediate empirical encounters, because such identities are compositions of a range of contextual factors. -
Silat Martial Ritual Initiation in Brunei Darussalam
Southeast Asia: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Vol 14, 2014, pp 1–13 © FASS, UBD Silat martial ritual initiation in Brunei Darussalam Gabriel Facal Institut de recherches Asiatiques (Aix-Marseille Université) Abstract Almost no research has been done on the silat martial ritual initiations developed in Brunei even though silat continues to be a main cultural marker of the sultanate and it is recurrent in legendary narratives as well as in contemporary local film productions. For Bruneian people, the image of silat is also conveyed by the multitude of Malaysian and Indonesian movies they can watch. Therefore the upheavals that silat has endured since the inception of the sport’s federation in the 1980’s have challenged the possibility of local silat groups keeping alive their practice, structure and organization. These evolutions also reflect certain conflicts in the Bruneian cultural policy, as the government seeks to promote a traditional cultural heritage while at the same time transforming its content to match an alternative ideological discourse. Introduction Martial ritual initiations have spread widely across the so-called Malay world (for debate about this notion, see Barnard, 2004), and have been extensively documented. For example, Maryono (2002) describes pencak and silat in Indonesia, De Grave (2001) deals with pencak in Java, Facal (2012) focuses on penceu in Banten, Wilson (2002) analyzes penca in West Java, and Farrer (2012) considers silat in Malaysia. However, there has been less coverage of the situation in Brunei. This discrepancy can be explained by the secrecy surrounding the transmission and integration of the practice in a wide and complex set of transmission frames, based on an authority structure which refers to local cosmology and religious values. -
Town Planners' Perceptions Of
PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners Volume XII (2014), Page 19 - 34 TOWN PLANNERS’ PERCEPTIONS OF SPORTS FACILITIES AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT: A CASE STUDY OF 13 STATES’ MAIN SPORTS FACILITIES IN MALAYSIA Maassoumeh Barghchi1 & Dasimah Omar2 1Faculty of Art and Islamic Architecture IMAM REZA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY, MASHHAD, IRAN 2Faculty of Architecture, Planning & Surveying UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MARA (UITM), SHAH ALAM, MALAYSIA Abstract Sport is defined as recreation and is considered as the symbol of developed degree of a country and economic development. However, globalisation and dramatic growth of urbanisation highlight the importance of sport and sports facilities in cities. On the other hand, there is a recent trend in some countries to build sports facilities not only for their intended sporting purpose but also for the twin aim of stimulating urban areas. In Malaysia, sports and sports facilities have improved rapidly over the past years. There is also currently tremendous interest in sports and a wave of sports investment. This research aims to examine town planners‟ perceptions of sports facilities and urban development focusing on the main sports facilities at State level in Malaysia. It is based on quantitative research via postal questionnaire survey and key informant interviews. The research reveals new trend of sports investment and sports facilities construction started in the mid-1990s. The findings of this research elaborate new considerations for town planners to determine the type of local environment for a new sports facility. Further, it may assist to review and provide specific guidelines and principles for sports facilities in Malaysia to follow the global trend in the future. -
