Abstract

The representation of female beauty in the beauty queen event is only associated with brain, beauty and behavior. Women are not only considered beautiful from the outside, but also need inner beauty through the beauty queen event. Pageant lovers as loyal supporters of the beauty queen event also represent female beauty through Instagram accounts, in addition to raising support and updating information about beauty pageants. This study aims to describe women's beauty represented by Instagram pageant lovers on social media. The research method uses the semiotic approach of Roland Barthes on Instagram accounts of pageant lovers, including @portalpageant.id, @pageantcrownwarriors, and @indopageant. The time span of the analyzed uploads was January to February 2023. The results showed that the representation of female beauty on the accounts of pageant enthusiasts contains a number of issues, namely that the standard of female beauty is relative with the caption Black Beauty. The issue of commercialization of women through the beauty pageant event can be seen from the disappointment of pageant lovers with the transfer of the license of the Puteri Indonesia Foundation (YPI) and the Miss Universe Philippines fundraiser.

Abstract

The BTS (Base Transceiver Station) construction corruption case of the Minister of Communications and Information, Johny G. Plate, who is also a cadre of the Nasdem Party, has caused a lot of debate among netizens. Online news portals with different party owners are also said to have an impact on the framing of reality and influencing readers' perspectives in viewing the BTS corruption issue. Therefore, it is necessary to further examine how the online media Mediaindonesia.com and Okezone.com framed the corruption case involving Johny G. Plate as the Secretary General of Nasdem Party and former Minister of Communication and Information. The method used in this research is the framing analysis proposed by Robert N. Entman. The subjects of this research are the online media news portals Mediaindonesia.com and Okezone.com, while the objects are news articles about the identification of Johny G. Plate (JP) as a suspect in the BTS Kominfo corruption case. The research results revealed that MediaIndonesia.com tends to view corruption cases with a positive frame by prioritizing the principle of presumption of innocence for not firing Johny G. Plate as Secretary General of the Nasdem Party. In contrast, Okezone.com tends to frame the news by supporting legal efforts to thoroughly investigate the case and supporting a number of DPP Perindo Party stances that seem to be framed as the stance of the news portal.
