Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) radicalism discourse invites polemics and pros and cons that have not ended. The various perspectives on the existence until the dissolution of the mass organization need to be understood in depth, objectively, and comprehensively. This research was conducted with the aim of comprehensively dissecting the discourse of HTI radicalism which wants to substitute the Pancasila ideology by carrying the caliphate ideology.

The knife of analysis is the critical discourse analysis of Norman Fairclough's model which consists of three dimensions of analysis, namely text analysis, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice. The data in this study are texts in the form of vocabulary, sentences, or discourses whose corpus is from a news story entitled "The Rise of HTI Rejection, Said Aqil: The Governor Must Be Able To Build Citizens" published by Tempo.co on Friday, May 5, 2017. The results show that in In terms of text analysis, especially in terms of diction and textual structure, Tempo.co represents the rejection of the caliphate ideology promoted by HTI which is reflected in the use of diction which has a positive meaning. The textual structure uses a strategy of accommodating sources as a news construction database. This can be seen in the construction of news where the four components, namely 1) news title, 2) selection of sources, 3) positioning of source quotes, and 4) the quantity of sources' statements lead to the collectivity of the meaning of rejection of the ideology of the HTI caliphate. Likewise, in the aspect of discourse practice, it is illustrated that the construction of Tempo.co news is in line with the public perspective which rejects HTI's radical ideology, as well as socio-cultural practices that strengthen or strengthen public knowledge and awareness that the disbandment of HTI must be carried out immediately because it can threaten the existence of Pancasila, UUD 1945, dan NKRI.

Framing Pemberitaan Media Televisi Berita Terhadap Figur 'Habib'

Most Muslims in Indonesia believe that the 'habaib' (the plural of the word 'habib') have a lineage from the Prophet Muhammad SAW, so their existence must be glorified and respected. Television media responded to this in various ways. The careers of the Habib expanded not only in the field of Islamic da'wah but also in politics, as shown by figures such as Habib Rizieq Shihab and the former organization he led, the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI). Television media highlighted the political roles of these habibs with various news constructions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the perspective of television media in framing news about the figure of Habib Rizieq Shihab and claims to be descendants of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and to find a model for framing television media in reporting about 'Habib' in the perspective of claiming descendants of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This research uses the constructivism paradigm with qualitative research method with framing analysis approach. Namely through data collection techniques through several news broadcasts on three television media, interviews, and observations. The results of this study conclude that every television media report that reports about Islamic figures of Arab descent in Indonesia always brings up models and perspectives of news about the object being reported. The many roles of Habib such as Habib Rizieq Shihab are viewed with different perspectives by the news television media. Some Indonesian citizens of Arab descent who are predicated as 'habib' provide different perspectives for television coverage such as KompasTV, MetroTV, and TVOne. The television media KompasTV and MetroTV do not always agree that their reporting about the activities of the 'habaib' is related to the lineage of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad SAW.

Construction of News on the Shooting of Six FPI Soldiers at Tempo.co

The shooting incident that occurred between members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) and the police caused the death of six members of the Soldiers, which became an interesting national issue to be reported on, because from the beginning of this case there were two versions released by both parties involved so that the media would construct their reality through what they see. The construction itself is part of the framing or media frame based on ideology, political views, and the vision and mission of the media itself and can be seen through the use of language as a highlight of meaning. This became the basis for a research entitled "Construction of News on the Shooting of the Six Laskar FPI on Media Tempo.co (Analysis of Framing Robert N. Entmann, period 7 December 2020 - 27 March 2021" with the formulation of the problem of how Tempo.co framed news of shooting cases six FPI troops on Tempo.co media. One research method that is able to support researchers in analyzing this case is a qualitative research method using the framing analysis method introduced by Robert N. Entman. Researchers want to see and understand how the construction of reality and other aspects built by the media to be conveyed to the public. The object of this research is the news of the shooting of six FPI soldiers published by the online media Tempo.co for the period 7 December 2020 - 27 March 2021.

The Interplay of News Production and Journalistic Self-Branding in the Coverage of Celebrity Mixed Marriages

ABSTRACT In October 2018, Lucy Aharish, a Muslim Israeli-Arab journalist, and Tzachi Halevy, a Jewish Israeli actor, were married. In Israel, mixed-marriage, especially between a Jewish-Israeli man and a Muslim-Arab-Israeli woman, is perceived to threaten the social order. This celebrities’ mixed marriage triggered a heated public debate focusing on “assimilation” and arguing the marriage was a threat to the demography of the Jewish state. The high-visibility coverage of the story allows us to examine the role of celebrities in creating mediated public-discourse around complex categories of identity. We ask: How has Israeli journalism framed the issue of mixed marriage through the case of Aharish and Halevy? And what roles have Aharish and Halevy as celebrities played in framing their own story? Based on content-analysis of 149 news items published on digital news-sites, we detected three main news frames: “A love story,” “Advocating inclusion,” and “Fighting assimilation.” Analyzing the prominent role and the agency of the couple in the coverage, the case-study demonstrates how “traditional” news construction by journalists consolidates with self-branding of news-people. It suggests that we examine not only the frames embedded in news, but also the process of framing within the current individualistic news environment – where journalists become celebrified journalists.

Fakes about Coronavirus: Communicational Technologies for Constructing False Messages

Introduction. Interest in the problem of false (fake) news has increased significantly in the situation of the coronavirus pandemic, when the flow of false information considered as an obstacle to the implementation of measures to combat the pandemic itself and its consequences. The authors aim to study the existing works devoted to the analysis of the construction and recognition of false news about COVID-19, paying special attention to the procedures of fact-checking-process of verifying the accuracy of the information contained in the message. The novelty of the author’s approach lies in the use of a content analysis of the fact-checking resource to identify communication technologies for constructing fake news about the coronavirus.Methodology and sources. As a theoretical framework, authors used the information model of communication by Claude Shannon, structuring communication as a process of information transmission and fixing the possibility of noise (distortion) in various parts of this process. The empirical basis of the study was a fact-checking resource that specializes in identifying fakes about the coronavirus (47 units of analysis were considered for the period from March to May 2020).Results and discussion. In the result of the research, specific communication technologies of purposeful construction of false news were identified – distortions in the communication channel, distortions in the message code (content), distortions in the message source. We also identified the types of distortions associated with the content of communication – based on the creation of false content, recoding information (giving it a new interpretation), editing the original. Different frequency of application of these technologies for a given volume of analysis units were been recorded, as well a s the predominance of the technology of distortion of the communication channel.Conclusion. The authors draw a conclusion about the importance and relevance of the topic of constructing fake news in the situation of the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic, demonstrate the productivity of using fact-checking resources to identify various communicative technologies for constructing false messages, which creates new prospects for recognizing and countering them.

Fact Checkers Facing Fake News and Disinformation in the Digital Age: A Comparative Analysis between Spain and United Kingdom

The current media ecosystem, derived from the consolidation of Information and Communication Technologies, shows a scenario in which the relationship between the media and their audience is being redefined. This represents a challenge for journalistic practice. In the digital age, the public actively participates in the construction and dissemination of news through social networks. Faced with this loss of control by the media, fake news and disinformation are emerging as one of the main problems of journalistic practice in a competitive business context, and with a high saturation of news content. In this situation, fact checkers emerge as key players in the information verification process. This research comparatively analyses the main fact checkers in Spain and the United Kingdom through content analysis applied to their corporate websites to understand their characteristics and working methodologies. The results underline that they are concerned with the concepts of transparency and honesty, along with showing their funding streams. The rigorousness of the verification process also stands out, as well as the importance of dialogue with the audience in their work. While in Spain they are featured by their non-profit nature and their international coverage, UK fact checkers focus on national information and are sometimes conceived as a business.

Horizontal accountability forums have the highest media presence. Opinions from horizontal forums, vertical forums, and citizens appear less frequently for service-providing organizations.

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN FUNNY AND DISRESPECTFUL: MEDIA FRAMING ON PRABOWO’S ”BOYOLALI FACE” REMARK

The 2019 Indonesian Presidential Election is a democratic process for electing the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2019-2024 period. Before the election was held, Indonesia's mass media was incessantly publishing news about presidential candidates, namely Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto Djojohadikusumo. As a retired army lieutenant general, Prabowo is known as a nationalist figure. This research aims to study Prabowo's image just before the 2019 Election in the online version of print media. We examine and compare the construction of Prabowo's image carried out by Tempo.co and Republika.co.id. We purposively select news published in Tempo and Republika online version from 4 to 5 November 2019. This research uses the qualitatively framing method by Entman to answer how the mass media carry out image construction. Results indicate that both media carry out a difference between construction.

This study concludes that there are differences between the mainstream mass media and Islamic mass media in constructing Prabowo's image through their news. The different images constructed by the two media indicate that news construction or news framing is inevitable in the journalism field.

The failed construction of fake news as a security threat in Malaysia

ABSTRACT This article examines developments in Malaysia regarding ‘fake news', analyzing how state actors sought to securitise the issue - or construct it as a national security threat - to justify broad crackdowns. As a research focus, it asks: how has the previous administration under PM Najib Razak sought to crackdown on fake news? Why were the securitisation efforts resisted, leading to the repeal of the Anti-Fake News 2018 bill? Drawing on primary survey data and through a case study, this study finds that the securitising actors' lack of legitimacy, low resonance of discourses employed, and the presence of a credible opposing narrative are important factors leading to securitisation failure. Interestingly, results show that although the threat of fake news had acquired a broad consensus, efforts to frame it as a threat lapsed because the actor's legitimacy was in doubt. Empirically, this study sheds light on policymaking processes in Malaysia, a ‘flawed semi-democracy’.

RELIGIOUS RADICALISM FRAME IN THE ONLINE MEDIA NEWS (Framing Analysis Reporting Of “ISIS” In Republika.co.id and Tempo.co)

This study aims to explore how the framing of Islamic radicalism through the reporting of the group "ISIS" in two online media, namely in Republika.com and Tempo.co with an impartiality perspective. The research method used is descriptive qualitative by using a discourse strategy that sees the text and its context as information that contributes to communicating the contents of the message. Primary and secondary data are obtained from news curators, online portals, and library studies. While the unit of analysis is ISIS radicalism news in Republika.co.id and Tempo.co in the period of August to December 2014 that falls within the three criteria of radicalism news, namely acts of violence, beliefs championed, old-fashioned views or rigid thoughts that underlie acts of violence using techniques framing analysis of Gamson and Modigliani models. The results showed that news about radical "ISIS" included in the category of news construction that was emotional, sadistic, provocative and without confirmation. In addition, the quality of reporting often adorns with words that appear hyperbole and bombastic, the coverage is less profound and changes in a matter of minutes. The trend of Tempo.co and Republika.co.id dramatizes and exaggerates what happens in conflict areas by using connoted language rather than language that has a literal meaning. Then it has not fulfilled the principle of impartiality of news which can be seen from the neutrality and balance of news that determines the quality of reporting.
