Selective Exposure to Berita Harian Online and Utusan Malaysia Online: the Roles of Surveillance Motivation, Website Usability and Website Attractiveness
SEARCH: The Journal of the South East Asia Research centre ISSN 2229-872X for Communications and Humanities. Vol. 6 No. 2, 2014, pp 25-45 Selective Exposure to Berita Harian Online and Utusan Malaysia Online: The Roles of Surveillance Motivation, Website Usability and Website Attractiveness Nur Azimah Zulkafli Bahiyah Omar Nor Hazlina Hashim School of Communication, Universiti Sains Malaysia © The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access by Taylor’s Press. ABSTRACT News media allows audiences to be selective in determining both their news sources and type of news stories they read. This study examined factors influencing selective exposure to the online editions of two mainstream Malaysian newspapers, Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia. Using selective exposure theory as the theoretical lens, this study compared both newspapers in terms of their audiences’ level of surveillance motivation, and how audiences rate the newspapers’ websites with respect to usability and attractiveness. This study used a within-subject experimental research design that exposed 51 subjects to both Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia online newspapers. The results of the experiment indicate that Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia online were significantly different in terms of website usability; however, no significant differences were found in terms of surveillance motivation or website attractiveness between the two newspapers. Further analysis indicate that the only significant predictor of selective exposure was website usability. This study highlights the importance of website usability for online newspapers wanting to harness audience selectivity. Keywords: Selective exposure, online newspapers, surveillance motivation, website usability, website attractiveness 1. INTRODUCTION News media began to have an online presence during the mid-1990s.

Movement Control and Migration in Sabah in the Time of COVID-19
ISSUE: 2020 No. 135 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 27 November 2020 Movement Control and Migration in Sabah in the Time of COVID-19 Andrew M. Carruthers* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • After a tumultuous state election, Sabah is now the epicenter of an ongoing “Third Wave” of COVID-19 infections that has swept across Malaysia. • Election campaigning and clandestine cross-border movement have been causally linked by different government actors to this Third Wave, prompting the government to tighten movement control orders and migrant surveillance in Sabah. • As a recent report by the Sovereign Migrant Workers Coalition makes clear, migrant detention practices must be reformulated in response to evolving administrative, epidemiological, and ethical challenges. • Policymakers must grasp that (i) movement control, (ii) migrant care, and (iii) public health are interconnected. * Guest writer, Andrew M. Carruthers, is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, and a former Associate and Visiting Fellow at the ISEAS –Yusuf Ishak Institute. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 135 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION On 25 October 2020, Malaysian King Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah declined to declare a National Emergency, despite Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin’s urging that such an emergency was necessary in the face of an intensifying “Third Wave” of COVID-19 transmission.

The Construction, Deconstruction, and Reconstruction of Crime News: a Case Study of Malaysian Newspapers
Vol. 18. No.1 (2021) 171-186. ISSN: 1823-884x THE CONSTRUCTION, DECONSTRUCTION, AND RECONSTRUCTION OF CRIME NEWS: A CASE STUDY OF MALAYSIAN NEWSPAPERS Azman Azwan Azmawati, Muhammad Raqib Mohd Sofian, Shuhaida Md Noor & Juliana Abdul Wahab ABSTRACT Mass media has become an important agent of socialization by reproducing dominant and other social norms, beliefs, discourses, ideologies, and values. Although the media can be considered as an educator, most of the transmission of norms, beliefs, ideologies, discourses, and values occur in an unconscious manner. In essence, the media will select and process facts for the public. Because they do this so systematically, they can affect the way their audience is influenced by the delivered information. Thus, the portrayal of crime in the news media has played a crucial role in creating public awareness and planting seeds of concern regarding crimes in Malaysia. How crime is presented in the media and how the media capitalizes on crime news can affect how society perceives crime. The presentation of crime news in the media is the result of a complex process of news gathering and news production. Hence, it is crucial to understand how crime news is produced and presented, and the impact this type of news has on society. It will in turn help to shape public opinion and public policy, which could consequently become a national concern. This paper presents an analysis of the hidden messages that the media is forwarding to society and the priorities given in constructing crime news in the local media. This study has analyzed news texts to understand how different types of crimes are covered and reported.

Malaysian Chinese and Their Mass Media

HC Not Available from EDPS. DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Industry; *Chinese;:idhinese Culture; *History; *Mass Media; News Media; *Newspapers; News 'Reporting; Periodicals; Publications; Radio; Television IDENTIFIERS *Malaysia ABSTRACT The traditions of the Chinese press in Malaysia go back 160 years to Malaysia's first Chinese-language newspaper, considered by.scholars as the first modern periodical anywhere. Since then, this press has aided Christian missionary efforts in China and Southeast Asia, helped develop permanent Chinese communities in the Malay peninsula, called for both reformist and revolutionary movements in China, fought against the Japanese during World War and supported the formation of a Malaysian state--all thewhile trying to retain valuable aspects of Chinese culture. Currently, the Malaysian Chinese community is served by 26 newspapers (23 are dailies), a few local magazihes, a Chinese section of Radio Malaysia, and a daily Chinese newscast and limited drama ontelevision. Readership of Chinese papers is the highest of any ethnic press in the couhtty. In the future, most of the Chinese papers, falling under the ownership of Alliance government parties, will have to report according to government standards and, while Chinese broadcastscould be diminished because of language restrictions, it would be a long time before Chinese would be discarded as a broadcast language.

Malaysia (January – June 2021)
TRIANGLE in ASEAN Quarterly Briefing Note Malaysia (January – June 2021) Key partners Ministry of Human Resources (MOHR) Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) Our Journey Target sites Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, Penang Focal point Anna Engblom, Senior Programme Manager, [email protected], +66 2 288 2245 Background information Although population growth has remained relatively high in Malaysia, its rapidly expanding economy, increasing urbanization and relatively low labour force participation among women continues to create major demand for migrant workers. Official data from the Immigration Department, Ministry of Home Affairs, shows that 1.98 million regular migrant workers were employed in Malaysia by September 2019. This does constitute about 20 per cent of the country's labour force (United Nations Malaysia, 2019). However, a World Bank report estimates that some 2.96 to 3.26 million migrant workers, including 1.23 to 1.46 million migrant workers in irregular situations, were residing in Malaysia in 2017 (World Bank 2019). With close to full employment since 1990 and high educational attainment among nationals, the Malaysian economy relies heavily on migrant workers to perform low-skilled jobs. Approximately one-third of workers in the services sector and 25 per cent in agriculture are migrants (World Bank 2019). Despite their ubiquity within the labour market, the role that migrant workers play in filling the demand for low- skilled workers has not been readily accepted (with a few exceptions, such as in domestic work). For many years, targets have been set and policies introduced to reduce the dependency on migrant workers. However, changing the composition of the labour force is difficult, with employers complaining of severe shortages in some industries when more restrictive policies have been applied.

An Analysis of Ge13 Coverage by Malaysia's Online News
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UKM Journal Article Repository Jurnal Komunikasi Malaysian Journal of Communication Jilid 29(2) 2013: 1-30 HOW INDEPENDENT? AN ANALYSIS OF GE13 COVERAGE BY MALAYSIA’S ONLINE NEWS PORTAL COVERAGE Linda J. Lumsden university of arizona Abstract The May 5, 2013, general election in Malaysia may have marked the move of the nation’s alternative news media—online, unlicensed news portals that challenge the hegemony of the party that has ruled the nation since 1957—into the mainstream. Malaysiakini, The Malaysian Insider, and Free Malaysia Today editors pride themselves on their independence and journalistic role as government watchdogs, a role they claim has been abdicated by newspapers and broadcast outlets. This article critiques the self-professed editorial independence of these three online news portals through analysis of their GE13 campaign coverage. This research will expand knowledge about Malaysia’s evolving news environment and will add to research on media coverage of previous Malaysian elections. The study employs two research methods: content analysis and personal interviews with news portal editors and media scholars. Following an overview of Malaysia’s historically hegemonic mainstream news media, the article traces how the Internet facilitated the introduction of Malaysia’s counter-hegemonic online news portals. Its basic research question is: Did Malaysia’s leading independent news portals provide unbiased news coverage of GE13? The hypothesis was that the sites would be negatively biased against the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition and positively biased toward opposition coalition candidates, However, the study found 8.2 percent more positive BN stories than negative BN stories in overall coverage.
