Abstract

Reporting about athletes disables anything new in the world of journalism. In several regional, national, and international sports pages, journalists always write news about the other side of life and his struggles in overcoming disability in the match. It is interesting to see how athletes with disabilities are used as commodities and exploited their interests. So, with this view, the researcher analyzed a text entitled Exploitation of Sadness for Athletes with Disabilities (Theo Van Leeuwen's Critical Discourse Analysis on Detik.Com Edition January 16, 2022). The research uses Frankfurt’s critical theory, with qualitative methods, with a critical analysis approach from Theo Van Leeuwen. The results showed that the writer used several inclusion and exclusion strategies in the news text. The inclusion strategy focuses on Halil exploitation as the main star in the text above. Halil is described as a young man who has limitations and physical imperfections but wins in sports competitions. Meanwhile, in the exclusion strategy, the scriptwriter does not present a coach who has contributed to Halil's victory or a friend from a hawker association who is also an athlete who paved the way for Halil to become an athlete. With this inclusion and exclusion strategy, it can be seen how the perspective of news writers for persons with disabilities places them in an unequal position with humans in general

Abstract

The current scenario in the public sphere sees women's presence, yet certain professions, including journalism, remain primarily dominated by men. This gender disparity not only affects media policies but also perpetuates stereotypes hindering women's advancement in the industry, thus becoming a subject of interest for the researchers focusing on Surabaya's media landscape. This study aims to analyse the portrait of women in the media by focusing on female journalists in Surabaya, Indonesia. This research used critical ethnography and standpoint theory as a foundation for analysing the phenomenon. Based on the results of the researcher's search, the number of female journalists in Surabaya is at most 30% compared to male journalists. This research uses critical ethnography and standpoint theory, which are used as a foundation to analyse the phenomenon. Based on the results of the researcher's search, the number of female journalists in Surabaya is at most 30% compared to male journalists. The results of this study show clearly that society's norms and stereotypes about gender that do not prioritise female journalists are the cause of discrimination. In fact, this discrimination often occurs unintentionally due to factors in the organisational structure and environment that do not support the inclusion of women. This leads to poor representation of women in the media until there is an endless cycle of the system.

Abstract

In the advertising industry, the media plays an important role in shaping public perceptions of beauty standards, including in Indonesia. Representations of women in advertisements are often depicted with ideal images centered on fair skin. Although advertisements now often feature representations of diversity, these standards are still made subtly in the media. This study discusses the contradictory messages contained in the Citra advertisement version “Pancarkan Ragam Cantik Kulit Indonesia” using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic method. This research is a qualitative study using a constructivism paradigm approach with text analysis. The purpose of this study is to uncover the hidden meanings in advertisements using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic method with Jacques Derrida's deconstruction theory. The results of the study show contradictory messages in the representation of diversity raised in this advertisement. Although Citra highlights the diversity of Indonesian skin color beauty, the presence of visuals such as placing light-skinned women as the main focus, the use of skin lightening ingredients such as bengkuang and niacinamide in Citra products as the main selling point, animations of skin color changes towards lighter, the appearance of characters who have dark skin characters with the label "Glowing Skin" still refers to the standard of beauty of light skin. This advertisement has not completely deconstructed the standard of beauty, but rather reproduces it in a new and more subtle form in selling its products.
