Online Media and News Framing of President Donald Trump

Authors(3) :-Dani Kurniawan, Widodo Muktiyo, Mahendra Wijaya

The White House under the command of President Donald Trump gave birth to controversy. Trump, for example, restricts Muslim immigrants, orders the construction of walls on the US-Mexico border, seeing global warming as not a sexy issue, until the decision to leave UNESCO. This study aims to compare the framing of the news in the perspective of the application of ideology and political economy to the media. This research is qualitative with the method of analysis of framing Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. With this approach, researchers will look at domestic and foreign online media. The domestic media chosen is Sindonews and Liputan6. For foreign media, this research will explore framing by Foxnews.com and Aljazeera.com. The results showed Liputan6.com saw Donald Trump as a reflection of a large conspiracy and at the same time a controversial figure, which needed to be reported on the main page. Whereas on Sindonews.com saw that Donald Trump's controversy was not too prominent, so he did not have to be a head line. As for the two well-known foreign media, they reported in the frame of their political economy. The frame worn is the interest of the owner, namely Foxnews.com subject to the power of world media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. Aljazeera.com seems to serve the interests of the Qatar government.
