Abstract
Research on media reporting about racial issues is not new. However, research on media reporting about racial issues based on critical perspectives were less favoured by the communication and media researchers in this country. This research analyses the news story and editorials that report on racial issues in two Malay ethnic newspapers, before and after the 1Oth Malaysian General Election which commence on the 29th November 1999. It should be noted that this study is not about election. The election is used as a time frame for the purpose of choosing a duration for the study. This research was based on the belief that news report ere not value free but shaped and influenced by ideologies of various group in the society. In this research, hegemony theory were used to guide researcher in understanding media behaviour in reporting certain issues. The study found that both Utusan Malaysia including Mingguan Malaysia, and Berita Harian including Berita Minggu rely on the ruling elites, especially the Malay elite groups in reporting racial issues. About 99 percent of the news were racial structured in those four newspapers and the government was the source of the main news. The ruling elites have been the primary definers of the social and political events, especially on racial issues. The editorials of the two newspapers were bias towards the ruling elites.
