“…In concluding remark it can be said that Al Jazeera English, BBC News, and CNN are the mainstream news organizations followed by 94 million followers (to date) in their official Facebook pages. As the young generation follows news sources from their social media (Ismail et al, 2019; Shehata & Strömbäck, 2021), the news organizations are also interested to share news on their social media platform, Facebook.…”

This study is a comparative text analysis of Al Jazeera English, BBC News, and CNN on the Coronavirus pandemic. Only the text-based news from April 13 to April 20, 2020, were collected from the official Facebook pages of the respective news organizations. Based on the framing theory, the computer-based text analysis using MAXQDA software was used to conduct the research. The study found how these internationally recognized media outlets frame their news using word frequency, the combination of multiple words, and semantic relationships among the news published on their Facebook pages. A total of 105 news were selected out of 185 and 89,465 words were analyzed to observe how they framed the Novel Coronavirus crisis. Six individual frames were found and the results revealed four similarities and two differences among the frames. The similarities and differences were discussed based on different approaches to framing including proximity and political agendas.

“…Nowadays, vertical media is experiencing a rapid decline in social media platforms' growth (Robinson, 2019).

Social media has changed people's behaviour, attitudes, habits, lifestyles, and the process of communication. The scholar describes social media as a double-edged sword because of having a positive and negative impact on society. The aim of the paper is to identify the effects of social media on traditional media, especially on printed newspapers. Content analysis in systematic reviews has been applied to collect data from secondary sources such as journal articles, newspaper articles, government websites, and non-government websites. Based on the collected data, social media's positive effects on society are imparting knowledge, accelerating the communication process, building a virtual workplace, and e-commerce marketing. On the other hand, social media's adverse effects are cyberbullying, hacking, addiction, and spreading fake news. Social media have threatened the printed newspaper, and the journalist confronts challenges staying on track. The circulation of the daily printed newspaper declined gradually due to the revolution of social media and social media-based citizen journalism practising in Malaysia. Many newspapers have been compelled to cease their operation due to losing subscribers dramatically. Finally, this paper provides a review of the reason behind the closure of printed newspapers in Malaysia. Based on the discussions and the previous study, the paper presents three significant reasons behind Utusan Malaysia's closure: poor economic conditions, political crisis, social media revolution, and citizen journalism practising in Malaysia. In conclusion, few suggestions have been discussed that might help printed newspapers in Malaysia to survive in the digital era.

Despite the danger of shisha smoking, the freedom provided by social media means, pro-shisha smoking content can be freely shared across the platform. This could have a negative impact on youth who are frequent users of social media. They are often associated with the shisha smoking habit. Hence, this paper systematically synthesized the findings of the earlier literature related to the portrayal of shisha smoking on social media. This was performed to provide insight pertaining to the issue, which contributes to public health intervention and also for future research. Search for relevant literature was conducted using academic search engines including Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. The literature was qualitatively and thematically synthesized. The results of this review indicated that, shisha smoking is commonly portrayed as a social activity that is fun, relaxing, and desirable. At the individual level, it was also found that, social media serves as a platform for youth to express shisha smoking attitude. The findings of this review can enhance the understanding of how the portrayal of shisha smoking on different social media platforms may be interfering with public health cessation intervention. This study adds to the present knowledge with regard to the portrayal of shisha smoking on social media.
