Abstract

This study examines how Tempo.co framed its coverage of the arrests of activists and members of civil society, including the confiscation of books as evidence, following the demonstrations in late August 2025. It employed a descriptive qualitative design and Robert N. Entman's framing analysis model, which comprises four principal elements: defining problems, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments, and suggesting remedies. The data consisted of twenty news articles published by Tempo.co between September and October 2025. The findings indicate that Tempo.co consistently defined the authorities' actions as problems involving procedural irregularities, the criminalization of literacy, and threats to civil liberties. Although the coverage appeared formally neutral, it was substantively critical, particularly through the predominant selection of legal scholars, human rights institutions, and civil society organizations as sources, all of whom repeatedly criticized the authorities. Tempo.co also constructed a discursive contrast between official police claims and expert assessments, directing readers to recognize an incongruity between law-enforcement practices and the principles of civil liberty. The findings demonstrate that Tempo.co framed the issue as a problematic practice that endangered democratic space.
