Abstract

Aaron Bushnell, a member of the United States Air Force, committed self-immolation in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., as a form of resistance to Israeli policies in Gaza. This incident attracted global attention and gave rise to various interpretations in the mass media. This study aims to determine the framing of the news coverage of Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation as a form of protest against Israeli aggression in Palestine on CNN Indonesia media in the period 26-27 February 2024. This study uses a qualitative method with the Pan and Kosicki framing model approach consisting of four main elements: syntax, script, thematic, and rhetoric. Data were collected through a documentation study of CNN Indonesia's news coverage discussing this event. The results of the study show that CNN Indonesia in reporting Aaron Bushnell's action used diction, a narrative that emphasized that this media framed the event through the perspective of humanity and politics that underlie the action. The framing used shows how the media constructs reality in a certain way, which has the potential to influence public opinion regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and political protest actions carried out by individuals. This research provides insights into how the media shape narratives in reporting on international conflicts and protests, and highlights how certain perspectives can dominate the presentation of the news.
