Abstract

ABSTRACTProgress in achieving gender equality and empowering women in Indonesia has been too slow and fragmented. The media can provide a voice and a platform for placing women's role issues on the development agenda. As in the education, health, economic, labor, and political sectors. However, in reality, there is a significant gender gap in mainstream media companies so that women are not represented optimally and steps to improve gender equality are limited. Alternative media is very possible to take a role in explaining issues of gender equality and women's empowerment. Because this type of media can connect various sectors, including trade unions, social movements, organizations and various elements of society. Researchers use the concept of gender and communication development, Standpoint theory, and alternative media. The approach used in this study is literature review research methodology. The results of this study explain that journalists in alternative media consider gender awareness and sensitivity important in themselves to be able to protect and defend women's interests. In fact, alternative media provide wide opportunities for journalists to raise strategic issues of equality and women's empowerment. Keywords: Alternative, Empowerment, Journalists, Media, Women

This study program has produced hundreds of skilled photographer alumni who work in the creative industry. Every year, students hold a number of exhibitions to actualize their works. One of them is an exhibition of photos by female students called the Women's Exhibition. This article aims to explain how a photobook becomes a medium of representation of female student photography. The references used are several previous studies with the same focus on discussion. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with a photo curation technique from the results of the Women's Exhibition. Various interpretations on women are embodied in dozens of photo works which are then compiled into a photobook entitled Female Perspectives, which has six categories, namely (1) female beauty perspectives, (2) female food perspectives, (3) female profession perspectives, (4) female traveling perspectives, (5) female sport and healthy perspectives, and (6) female lifestyle perspectives. With the publication of this photobook, female students can represent their opinions on today's women in the form of a photobook, so that they can get their artistic value and economic value.Keywords: women's perspectives, photobook, representation, student work ABSTRAKTahun 2024, Prodi Fotografi di Politeknik Negeri Media Kreatif genap berusia 14 tahun.

Abstract

Mainstream media shows a gap in engaging public participation, producing alternative content, and introducing social change. It is hoped that alternative media can be counter-hegemonic to mainstream media by providing a different perspective from the dominance of existing information. Women's alternative media can provide a voice and platform to empower women and place women's issues in their reporting. This study uses a critical paradigm with a qualitative approach and case study design. Researchers use the concepts of development communication, development journalism, and alternative media. The primary research subjects (informants) are the editors-in-chief or executive editors of five women's alternative media. The results of this study explain that women's alternative media contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and equitable space in society. They change negative narratives and stereotypes about women that frequently appear in mainstream media by creating more positive and accurate representations. They use creative and innovative ways to provide educational content about job skills, training, and self-development. They promote role models by featuring women's success stories in various fields. They interact directly with their communities to better connect with their audiences, understand their needs, and utilize digital platforms and social media to reach a wider audience.
