A total of 503 articles (137 from The Star and 366 from BH) are obtained by utilization of the keywords. Based on the findings, the coverage of The Star was via both text and image specifically on the historic buildings conservation to both historical cities and in contrary, for BH thus, it just merely portrays on the text only. The result also shows that both newspapers emphasized more on intangible rather than tangible and natural heritage. Both newspapers indeed acknowledged the importance of conservation matter.
