Framing Analysis of The Coverage of The 48th Muhammadiyah-Aisyiyah Congress on Online News Portals Republika.co.id and kompas.com

Abstract

The 48th Muhammadiyah-Aisyiyah Congress had both national and international impacts. The Congress was not only important for Muhammadiyah-Aisyiyah but also had a wide impact domestically and abroad. Therefore, various media outlets were busy reporting on the Congress. Among these media include Kompas.com and Republika.co.id. This research uses the framing analysis method to find out the background of the news and the relationship between the principles of each media to the news displayed. The Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki framing analysis model was used, which involves four major structures, namely syntax, script, thematic, and rhetorical. The results of this study provide an understanding of how the two media framed the news regarding the 48th Muhammadiyah-Aisyiyah Congress. In addition, this method is also used to understand how the media constructs the reality of the 48th Muhammadiyah-Aisyiyah Congress and how the event is understood by the public through media coverage. The difference in news content is very clear if the Kompas.com media is more framing to the political discussion because the headlines are mostly filled by ministers and important people in the political world, while Republika.co.id is more into the substance of the content of the Congress itself from the beginning of the preparation of the Congress to its closing.
