Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in framing patterns used by Aljazeera.net and Alaraby.com in reporting Indonesia's protest actions in September 2025. The protests, triggered by rejection of excessive financial allowances for parliamentary members, resulted in six deaths and attracted international media attention. This study employs a qualitative approach with Robert N. Entman's framing analysis model consisting of four elements: define problems, diagnose causes, make moral judgements, and treatment recommendation. Primary data consists of news texts from Aljazeera.net and Alaraby.com, while secondary data was obtained from relevant literature on framing theory and international media studies. The results show that Alaraby.com frames the events with a critical approach toward the government, emphasizing casualties and repressive actions by security forces, and providing greater space for protesters' voices. Conversely, Aljazeera.net employs a more balanced approach by providing detailed economic context, presenting government and protester perspectives proportionally, and emphasizing the importance of dialogue and peaceful solutions. These framing differences reflect the ideological orientation and editorial interests of each media in constructing the reality of Indonesian political events for global Arabic-speaking audiences.
