Abstract
On 12 October 2002, the world was shaken by a terrible tragedy, the bombing of Paddy's
Bar and Sari Club in Kuta, Bali. Many believed that the tragedy was not an isolated case,
linking it to the Al-Qaeda network led by Osama bin Laden. He was previously accused to
be responsible for the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon on
September 11, 2001.
The Bali blast tragedy was selected as a case study based on the regional ties that exist
between Malaysia and Indonesia as members of ASEAN, and as 'islamic countries in
particular. Moreover, a few of the Jemaah Islamiah members accused as perpetrators of the
blast were believing to have a clostie's with few Malaysians who were suspected.to be
also involved.

a vacuum consistent with the government policy of reporting heinous crime such as
terrorism. An analysis on the news production revealed that the journalists' were greatly
influenced by four factor such as the roles of journalists and editors, organizational factors,
and extramedia. In spite of the four media frames development such as terrorism frame:
world problem; legal frame: innocent until proven guilty; economic frame: national security
