Abstract
This article reveals sexist bias in reporting on the 2018 Asian Games event on the online media Liputan6.
 com. The theoretical basis used is the theory of commodification, gender theory and feminism and representation. 
 The research method takes into account Sara Mills’s critical discourse analysis, with news subjects selected 
 purposively with a sexual bias. The results of the study reveal that the bias occurs through the representation of 
 women who have been reduced in such a way that they only construct female athletes as beautiful aesthetic objects. 
 Women are selected, defined, and displayed as objects and it no longer corresponds to the relevance of sports 
 reporting. This reduction occurs both in texts and in visual image displays.
