dc.description.abstractThe purpose c;>f this research is to investigate the process of economic news reporting in Malaysia in order to study the practice behind the end-product. To do this, this research will examine the role of journalists, editors, external factors and media organizations in determining the end-product. It also tries to determine factors and elements which influence the process of news production and describes the kind of economic communication that take place in this country. This research looks at the production of economic reporting, identifies the factors and elements that influence the process in two news organizations, The New Straits Times (NST) and Business Times (BT), which are chosen as the case study. In order to develop the theoretical framework, both internal and external factors in news production have been examined. Apart from that, this study also introduces the concepts and model of economic communication in order to create a I!ew sub-discipline in the area of economic communication. The concepts and model presented serve as a foundation and framework for further research on economic journalism. The study found that the production of economic news are similar to any other news. Although economic news reporting is a specialized area and should be treated as such. the news organizations studied do not emphasize its speciality. Journalists are recruited without considering their background. Thus, due to lack in economic knowledge, professionalism in economic reporting is very low. Consequently, economic reporting suffers lack-of-depth, has no agenda for the readers but merely react to events, not analytical enough and is still in the infancy stage although it has been in the industry for a long time. As a result, the readers receive a very shallow product although the society-is moving towards knowledge-economy. From the critical political-economic perspective, hegemony is maintained through the control and ownership of the studied news organizations. Editors and journalists are induced into this hegemonic system through socialization. As a result, the economic news will thus go through a structural process by the gatekeepers, namely the editors and owners. The gatekeeping process of the news organizations determines the content of the news in order to promulgates the idea of the dominant class. The s!tuation can be seen from the hierarchical structure in the organizations studied.en_US
