MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN KUALA LUMPUR

Malaysia's principal media hub features a highly segmented newspaper market structured around the country's major linguistic demographics. Leading this multi-language landscape are Malay-language publications owned by the Media Prima conglomerate, including the standard daily Berita Harian and the mass-circulation tabloid Harian Metro. The city's print industry also sustains established vernacular outlets that cater directly to specific populations, such as the widely circulated Chinese-language China Press and the Tamil-language daily Malaysia Nanban.
