    abstract = {News construction is always associated with the news angle. It is the focus of the news that determines what is being emphasized in a news story, thus forming the identity of a particular newspaper. This study, focusing on a newspaper in Malaysia known as Sinar Harian, demonstrates how news angles actually construct news. Deploying actor network theory, this research treats news angles as non-human actors that directly influence what becomes news, thus able to trace how identity of a newspaper is formed. It is through the process of enrolment that the identity of a newspaper is being stabilized. Here, the newspaper identity is the result of the process rather than the ‘context’ of news production. This study concludes that the inclusion of non-human actors is always useful in understanding a particular social phenomenon.}
