“…According to Soroka (2002) newspaper coverage has an influence on how the public and policy makers come to be aware of, and think about, an issue. Obviously, the ways that issues are framed in newspaper, and how its related to government policies and people's awareness, attitudes, and actions, offer us insight into the mechanism by which a society works, for instance, the relative freedom that journalists have to report on issues (Freeman, 2017).…”

Currently, there are two historical sites has been recognized as World Heritage Site by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Malaysia, which are Melaka (Malacca) and George Town, Penang. Since its recognition, those cities becomes so famous and positioned as one of the world tourism attraction that need to visit. In line with this prestige, conservation matter definitely appears to be a major concern especially to both cities in order to maintain the status given. The paper aims to discover the local daily ISSN 2161-7104 2018 http://jpag.macrothink.org 213 newspaper of The Star in terms of its portrayal of image on the historic or heritage buildings within the areas of World Heritage Site. Content analysis and previous literature were used as the research method. The findings show that indeed the images of photo could influence the public reader and create awareness of the issues raised. Behind the image thus, this paper would also examine at the role of the state in an effort to conserve the historic buildings of these two cities. Studies on image or visual are still rare in the country and therefore, this paper intend to fill this gap by associating it with the cultural heritage conservation in Malaysia.

As economies in Southeast Asia develop, there is renewed interest in the impact such growth has on nature. This study seeks to investigate how environmental issues have been covered in the English-language press of the region. Are some countries providing greater print news coverage versus others? Are there detectable patterns or noticeable biases in the coverage? What sources are relied upon in the print media stories? And what frames do we see in the coverage? This study identified general coverage patterns of the environment over a 10-year period (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012), in several of the region's English-language newspapers. News stories were analyzed to discern the nature of the coverage, coding for several variables as indicated by previous literature. Results indicate that use of the term climate change became preferred over that of global warming. In addition, coverage increased greatly starting in 2006. Government officials were most often the sources quoted within stories (Claims). Articles contained more "judgments" about the issue than "solutions" (Frames). Finally, though most articles eschewed mentioning a specific actor as causing climate change, "man" was implicated in a number of stories more often than simply "nature" (Blame).

“…Actually, there is no such thing as the political agenda (Walgrave & Van Aelst, 2006: 95). Political agenda-setting scholars have studied (a combination of) the following agendas: of parliament or Congress (Soroka, 2002b;Trumbo, 1995;Van Noije, et al, 2008;Jones & Wolfe, 2010), political parties (Brandenburg, 2002;Green-Pedersen & Stubager, 2010;Kleinnijenhuis & Rietberg, 1995), government (Walgrave, Soroka, & Nuytemans, 2008;Thesen, 2013), the President (Gilberg, Eyal, McCombs, & Nicholas, 1980;Wanta & Foote, 1994;Edwards & Wood, 1999), or public spending (Cook & Skogan, 1991;Pritchard & Berkowitz, 1993).…”

Introduction: Political agenda-setting and mediatization as distinct worldsAgenda-setting is one of the most influential theories on the media's political influence (Graber, 2005). While often focusing on the media's impact on public opinion, another equally important facet of agenda-setting theory has the media's influence over the agendas of political actors and policy makers as its central object of investigation. Scholars use the term 'political agenda-setting' and in some instances 'agenda building' to refer to the transfer of media priorities to political priorities. Despite the growing popularity and importance of political agenda-setting research, it has seldom been conceptualized as part of or related to the mediatization of politics.For several reasons, political agenda-setting studies and mediatization studies have developed as almost completely distinct research schools (but see Van Noije, Oegema, & Kleinnijenhuis, 2008). Political agenda-setting studies share a strong empirical focus. They deal mainly with testing the effect of the media agenda on the political agenda in different contexts and circumstances. The basic question underlying most of the research reads: does more journalistic attention for an issue lead subsequently to more attention for that issue by politicians? With the help of sophisticated methods such as time series analyses researchers have been able to provide a nuanced and detailed answer to this question, identifying a set of contingent factors that determine the size and strength of the effect. While being empirically strong and analytically sophisticated, political agenda-setting work has, until recently, remained somewhat undertheorized. In particular, insights on why and how politicians adapt 2 to the agenda of the media are still in need of elaboration. Furthermore, agenda-setting focuses only on thematic priorities and it remains unclear how the impact of the media on issue agendas relates to other types of influence.The literature on mediatization, on the other hand, has been characterized by a broader theoretical input and goals (see chapter 1 and Y?), as well as by a broader scope covering media influence on several areas outside politics. The thesis on mediatization of politics provides an overarching view on the role of the media in the political system, and is in this volume defined as a long-term process through which the importance and influence of media in political processes and over political institutions and actors has increased (see chapter 1).While being strong on conceptual discussions and theoretical perspectives, the mediatization literature is lacking in empirical research.. Admittedly, some recent studies explore mediatization empirically. For instance, related to the 3 rd dimension of mediatization (see chapter x), Strömbäck and Nord (2006) find that journalists retain the most power over the content and framing of news while other studies document how mediatization of news content is stronger in the US compared to Europe (Strömbäck & Dimitrova, 2011;...
