Abstract

The attack on the Indonesian National Police Headquarter by Zakiah Aini (ZA) turns out to create public stigma and opinion that ZA is a terrorist. This is probably due to discriminative media reporting, i.e., when the perpetrators are identified as Muslim, the event tends to be associated with terrorism. Meanwhile, when the attackers are not identified as Muslim, the event is constructed as an attack and is not associated with terrorism. Regarding the Indonesian national police HQ attack, some media projected the issue by labeling the attacker ZA as a ‘terrorist’. Such construction triggers comments from several observers. While some observers view the incident as a part of terrorism, others do not. This study applied a qualitative descriptive approach by employing Robert N. Entman’s framing analysis. Republika.co.id and Kompas.com were selected as the object of the study. This study found that both online media construct the attack on police HQ differently. Republika.co.id construct the event as a gunfire issue and attempts not to associate the event with terrorism. On the other hand, Kompas.com views the attack on police HQ as a terrorist event. This study confirms that media ideology influences the journalists’ view in constructing an event.
