Abstract

   

The detention of the Minister of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo), Johnny G. Plate, as a suspect in the Rp. 8 trillion BTS (BaseTransceiver Station) 4G corruption, caught the attention of the mass media. Metro TV and Kompas TV are no exception. This study aims to analyze the news coverage by Metro TV and Kompas TV regarding the detention of the Minister of Communication and Informatics, Johnny G. Plate. The formulation of the problem in this research is: how Metro TV and Kompas TV reconstruct the news on Johnny G. Plate's detention in the BTS 4G corruption case. This research is qualitative research with a constructivist perspective. The theory used is Gamson and Modigliani's framing, because the visual image element will also be analyzed in this study. In the discussion, it is known that Metro TV emphasizes Surya Paloh's position as General Chair of the Nasdem Party, as well as sources who are close to the Nasdem Party. Meanwhile, Kompas TV is more proportional in its reporting. This indicator can be seen from the selection of sources that appear in the Kompas TV news. Conclusion: Metro TV and Kompas TV have different perspectives in packaging news. In addition, media ownership can apparently affect the content or news content. Metro TV places more emphasis on Surya Paloh's position as General Chair of the Nasdem Party, while Kompas TV places more emphasis on neutrality in reporting.
