The future of the press is still vague, including in Malaysia. What seems clear at the moment is, the future of newspaper is digital, news is read through smartphones, tabs or other forms of gadgets. Printed circulation is expected to continue plunging. The study examines two key questions, steps taken by Malaysian newspapers to enhance the circulation of newspapers and how to increase the popularity of online newspapers. In addition, the gadget is also examined whether it is a tool that risks or opportunities for the future of the press. Four newspapers were examined in this study namely Sinar Harian, Berita Harian, Harian Metro and Sin Chew Daily with 11 news and online editors being interviewed. The proposed categories by Wahl Jorgensen et al. (2016) are used as the basis of discussion namely Risks and Threats, Opportunities and Digital Journalism. The findings suggest that major steps to improve the circulation of newspapers include improving the quality of content and newspaper layout, as well as increasing newspaper promotion. The online newspaper is seen as a survival tool for journalism, as it enables journalism to function with its audience. In terms of opportunities provided by the gadget to the future of the Malaysian press, it is seen in some form such as the Threatened Opportunity, and Opportunity and Risk. Digital journalism, especially data journalism, appears to have not been seen as the future of journalism in the editorial context in Malaysia.
