In the case of the Philippines, the country first hosted the event in December 6 to 15, 1981. Sports and politics has long functioned as a means of forging unity in national and international level. This paper seeks to understand the context, intended aim, and pragmatism of such sporting event.

“We Just Write What We Think Is Newsy”: an Analysis on Newsworthiness Constructions in Malaysian Newspapers

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.
