Framing Comparison, #IndonesiaGelap, Media in Indonesia, Trusted MediaAbstract
Purpose: This research aims to explore and understand how Kompas.com and CNN Indonesia, the two online media outlets with the highest level of public trust, frame the violent dimension of the #IndonesiaGelap demonstration news coverage. Both outlets have the best reputation ratings in Indonesia; in 2025, Kompas.com scored 62%, and CNNIndonesia.com scored 61%, outperforming other media outlets, both traditional and digital.
Methods: This study uses a qualitative method with a critical paradigm and a framing approach to CNN Indonesia news and Kompas.com regarding the #IndonesiaGelap demonstration actions during February 17-21, 2025, using Robert N. Entman's Framing Theory. This model was chosen because it emphasizes cognitive aspects that are suitable for analyzing long-term socio-political issues, compared to other models that emphasize formal aspects and linguistic metaphors.
Findings: The results of the study show that Kompas.com highlights issues and causes of conflict through the demands of demonstrators and government policies. It tends to be critical and balanced. Meanwhile, CNN Indonesia focuses on the definition of the problem and avoids mentioning the cause or moral judgment. It tends to be neutral. These findings affirm the balanced and neutral role of the media in shaping public perceptions while considering security aspects. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of media framing on democracy in Indonesia.
Originality: This study contributes theoretically by showing that nearly identical trust scores between Kompas.com and CNN Indonesia do not guarantee equal critical framing, nuancing media credibility theory's assumption that audience trust reflects a medium's depth of critical journalism.
