Morality Frame of Identity-Based Film Festival in Indonesian News Portal During The Reformation Era

Abstract


Similar to the media industry, the national film industry in Indonesia was subject to strict government regulations during the Old Order and New Order regimes. At that time, it was very difficult for the Indonesian film industry to produce critical messages in both films and film events attended by film audiences. Reform is the entry point for media democratization, coupled with the presence of the phenomenon of identity-based film festival activities. One indicator of media democratization is the emergence of many corporate media, including news portals triggered by the internet. Leading online news platforms began covering identity-based film festivals, focusing on themes such as LGBT, gender, religion, children, human rights, and governance. This study analyses the morality framework of articles about identity-based film festivals published on Antaranews.com, Kompas.com, Tempo.co, MediaIndonesia.com and Detik.com. The analysis includes 175 articles, covering 41 festivals. This study found differences in the concept of news framing in reporting on identity-based film festivals in several Indonesian online news media, including Antaranews.com, Kompas.com, Tempo.co, MediaIndonesia.com and Detik.com. The morality framework is one of the variables in the concept of news framing. The research results show that there are differences in reporting on religious themes. Among the five selected new portals studied, the media portal that is most different in reporting the morality frame in reporting identity-based film festivals is Kompas.com.

 

Keywords: News framing, morality frame, identity-based film festival, news portal, authoritarian regime.
