Abstract
'Press freedom' and 'responsibility' are the two important objectives that the press
industries should always emphasize on reporting the news with facts, fair and truly to the
society. Unfortunately, looking at the rapid changes in our press industry nowadays, the
pressĀ· seems to have encountered some obstacles in implementing these objectives
especially when the control of the press is in the hands of the ruling parties. Over the past
40 years, the relationship between the power of the ruling parties and the control of the
media has been tightened to the extent that the ruling parties have the power to control the
news in the press. People have begun to realise the importance of press freedom after the
domination of the ruling parties over the press industries. Thus, voices of objection are
being raised within the society when more newspapers are taken over by the ruling parties.
In the case of the Nanyang takeover by MCA, much of Chinese society has voiced
objections as the Chinese press apparently was never owned by any politiCal parties.
Chinese society believes that press freedom will not exist anymore once the press is
owned by the ruling parties. Through an analysis of newspaper content, this dissertation
tries to explore what are the reactions of the local press towards this issue by looking at
how they reported this issue in their newspapers. This research will further attempts to see
whether the relationship between political parties and press ownership will affect the ways
of news reporting in their press as shown in other research.
